[0002] 1. Field of Invention
[0003] The present invention provides low viscosity energy-activated room temperature polymer compositions, equipment, systems and methods for handling, activating and dispensing the thermodynamically unstable, high solids, activatable liquid compositions.
[0004] 2. Description of Related Art
[0005] Hot melt adhesives are routinely used in various applications where a stable surface-to-surface bond must be formed. Further, hot melt adhesives are used in securing a variety of both similar and dissimilar materials (e.g., cellulosic substrates such as wood, corrugated paper, cardboard, paper, carton stock, and other substrate materials such as plastics, metals, fabri...
