The invention relates to unique applications for the novel high melt flow, low
viscosity, selectively hydrogenated
styrene-butadiene-
styrene (hSBS) or selectively hydrogenated controlled distribution
styrene-butadiene / styrene-styrene (hSBSS) block copolymers, wherein the melt flow rate of said block
copolymer is at least 100 g / 10 min. at 230° C. under 2.16 kg
mass according to ASTM D1238. These block copolymers are novel and have the highest melt flow rate of any styrenic block
copolymer also possessing high strength and elasticity. It has applications that prior to the present invention were not normally possible due to the normal low melt flow rate of styrenic block copolymers. The present invention also encompasses various fields of use such as a fiberglass hSBS or hSBSS reinforced mat, low
viscosity hSBS or hSBSS coatings for industrial uses,
hot melt adhesives prepared from hSBS or hSBSS blended with polyalpha-olefins, and elastic film,
fiber, and nonwoven constructions using hSBS or hSBSS.
