Propylene copolymers for adhesive applications

An adhesive composition comprising:

• (a) 85 to 90 wt% of an in-reactor produced multi-component copolymer comprising a semi-crystalline component having a crystallinity of 20% or more, and an amorphous component having a crystallinity of 5% or less, wherein the copolymer comprises at least 80 wt% of units derived from propylene and from 1 wt% to 20 wt% of at least one comonomer selected from a group consisting of hexene-1 and octene-1, wherein the copolymer has a viscosity at 190° C. of 530 to 1500 mPa sec and a heat of fusion between 20 and 50 J/g;
• wherein the multi-component copolymer has a branching index of 0.764 to 0.95 as measured at z-average molecular weight and a weight averaged molecular weight of the semi-crystalline copolymer is from 5,000 to 100,000;
• wherein the semi-crystalline component is produced by a first catalyst system and the amorphous component is produced by a second catalyst system;
• wherein the first catalyst system comprises di(p-triethylsilylphenyl) methylene (cyclopentadienyl) (3,8-di-t-butylfluorenyl) MR2 where M is zirconium or hafnium and R is Cl or CH3, and the second catalyst system comprises rac-dimethylsilyl bis (2-methyl-4-phenylindenyl)M*R*2, where M* is zirconium or hafnium, and R* is Cl or CH3;
• wherein the semi-crystalline component is incorporated into the amorphous component so as to form a branched cross-product with both amorphous and semi-crystalline characteristics;
• wherein the weight ratio of the semi-crystalline component to the amorphous component is from about 90:10 to about 30:70;
• and
• wherein the copolymer has an elongation of 400 to 1434.5% and a toughness of 7 to 53 megajoule/m3;
• (b) 1 to 10 wt% of at least one tackifier;
• and
• (c) 2 to 10 wt% of at least one functionalized polyolefin, wherein the functionalized polyolefin is functionalized with maleic acid or maleic anhydride.
