    Abstract: Propylene-based elastomer compositions that include a blend of a majority polymer fraction having a higher Mw and a minority polymer fraction having a lower Mw, methods of making same, and hot melt adhesives including such compositions. The polymer blend compositions can include: a major polymer fraction having a Mw of about 100,000 to about 300,000 and a melt flow rate of about 0.1 g/10 min to about 70.0 g/10 min, according to ASTM D1238; and a minor polymer fraction having a Mw of about 5,000 to about 60,000 and a Brookfield viscosity of about 500 cP to about 50,000 cP, according to ASTM D-3236 (190° C.), wherein an amount of the at least one other polyolefin comonomer in the minor polymer fraction is at least 7 wt % less than an amount of the at least one other polyolefin comonomer in the major polymer fraction.

    Abstract: Hot melt adhesives may comprise linear alpha olefins (LAOs) or LAO-derived compounds as an at least partial replacement for paraffinic white oil diluents. Such adhesive compositions may comprise an ethylenically unsaturated polymer or copolymer, a tackifier, and a diluent. The diluent may comprise at least one of: one or more C18+ linear alpha olefins (LAOs) having a kinematic viscosity of about 4 cSt or less at 135° C.; one or more LAO dimers formed from one or more C18+ LAOs, the one or more LAO dimers having an internal olefin and a kinematic viscosity of about 6 cSt or less at 135° C., or one or more paraffinic hydrocarbons having an even carbon number distribution and formed through dimerization of one or more C18+ LAOs and subsequent reduction. The one or more paraffinic hydrocarbons may have a kinematic viscosity (ASTM D-445) of about 4 cSt to about 8 cSt at 135° C.
