Hot melt composition

A method of forming a removable article, the method comprising:

• applying a hot melt adhesive to a first substrate at a temperature between 180° C. and 210° C., inclusive, wherein the hot melt adhesive has a shear adhesion value of between 2 N and 6 N, inclusive, the hot melt adhesive comprising:
• a thermoplastic block copolymer, the thermoplastic block copolymer present in an amount between 4 wt % and 10 wt %, inclusive, based on the total weight of the hot melt adhesive, the thermoplastic block copolymer comprising:
• a styrene-ethylene-ethylene/propylene-styrene (SEEPS) block copolymer, and
• a styrene-ethylene/propylene (SEP) block copolymer, a ratio content of the SEP block copolymer, based on 100 parts by weight of the SEEPS block copolymer, being between 5 and 100 parts by weight, inclusive,
• a hydrocarbon-based oil having an aniline point of 135° C. or more, the hydrocarbon-based oil present in an amount of between 40 wt % and 80 wt %, inclusive, based on the total weight of the hot melt adhesive,
• a tackifier resin having a softening point of 120° C. or more, the tackifier resin present in an amount between 30 wt % and 50 wt %, inclusive, based on the total weight of the hot melt adhesive, and
• a polycarbonate diol present in an amount between 3 wt % and 15 wt %, inclusive, based on the total weight of the hot melt adhesive;
• and
• applying a second substrate onto the hot melt adhesive;
• and
• removing the first substrate with a shear force resistance exceeding the shear adhesion value, wherein:
• the shear adhesion value of the hot melt adhesive is a maximum load before adhesive failure as determined by a shear test, the shear test being conducted using two polycarbonate plates bonded together with a layer of the hot melt adhesive having a width of 25 mm and a length of 5 mm, and the shear test comprising subjecting the polycarbonate plates bonded together with the layer of hot melt adhesive to a tensile tester operating at a tension speed of 50 mm/min at a temperature of 23° C. until adhesive failure occurs.
