Tackified amorphous-poly-alpha-olefin-bonded structures

An article comprising:

• a first subtrate;
• a second substrate;
• and
• an adhesive composition bonding the first substrate and the second substrate to one another at an add-on level between about 0.5 and about 25 grams/meter2 thereby forming a bonded structure, wherein the bonded structure has a dynamic peel strength greater than 215 grams per 25 millimeters and has no burn-through visual defects greater than about 1 millimeter, the article is selected from the group consisting of personal care products, health/medical products, and household/industrial products, and the adhesive composition comprises:
• about 75 to about 99% by weight amorphous poly-alpha-olefin, about 1 to about 5% by weight tackifier, and
• zero to about 20% combined weight of one or more additives selected from the group consisting of color pigments, fragrances, fillers, block copolymer compatibilizers, waxes, and oils,
• the fillers being selected from the group consisting of titanium dioxide, carbon black and calcium carbonate,
• the amorphous poly-alpha-olefin, tackifier and one or more additives together constituting about 100% by weight of the adhesive composition,
• the tackifier consisting of a C5 hydrocarbon tackifier and having has a molecular weight of about 2000 Daltons or less.

An article comprising:

• a film;
• a nonwoven web;
• and
• an adhesive composition bonding the film and the nonwoven web to one another at an add-on level between about 2 and about 5 grams/meter2 thereby forming a bonded structure, wherein the bonded structure has a dynamic peel strength greater than 215 grams per 25 millimeters and has no burn-through visual defects greater than about 1 millimeter, the article is selected from the group consisting of personal care products, health/medical products, and household/industrial products, and the adhesive composition comprises:
• about 75 to about 99% by weight amorphous poly-alpha-olefin, about 1 to about 5% by weight C5 hydrocarbon tackifier, and
• zero to about 20% combined weight of one or more additives selected from the group consisting of color pigments, fragrances, fillers, block copolymer compatibilizers, waxes, and oils,
• the fillers being selected from the group consisting of titanium dioxide, carbon black and calcium carbonate,
• the amorphous poly-alpha-olefin, tackifier and one or more additives together constituting about 100% by weight of the adhesive composition,
