Summary:The present invention relates to a novel composition and process for applying a styrenic based adhesive, cement, coating, or paint to thermoplastic polymer surfaces, particularly to toy articles formed of elastomeric materials. Because the coating composition uses naturally occurring terpene solvents, it is safe for use as a coating or paint for toy articles which can be safely used by children. The invention is directed to resin coating, adhesive, and cement compositions comprising styrenic copolymers and a terpene solvent. The compositions are particulary useful for toy article applications because of the use of safe, naturally occuring terpene solvents. These compositions form high adhesion bonding with molded elastomeric styrene copolymer surface substrates. The invention is also directed to a method of applying the instant coatings to substrate surfaces.
