Patent number: 11046809Abstract: The use of an amine of formula (I) as a component of a hardener for epoxy resins, hardeners for epoxy resins containing the amine of formula (I), and resultant epoxy resin compositions which can particularly be used as low-emission room-temperature-curing epoxy-resin coatings with high hardness and surface quality. The amine of formula (I) is low-odour and a very successful diluent for epoxy resin compositions. It is particularly obtained by reductive alkylation from 1,2-ethylenediamine or 1,2-propylenediamine and an aldehyde or ketone.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2016Date of Patent: June 29, 2021Assignee: SIKA TECHNOLOGY AGInventors: Edis Kasemi, Andreas Kramer, Ursula Stadelmann, Urs Burckhardt

Publication number: 20210189205Abstract: An adhesive bond between at least one thermoplastic and an elastomer composition containing at least one polyether having blocked hydroxyl groups as plasticizer. With the adhesive bond, it is possible to bond thermoplastics such as polycarbonate or polystyrene in particular to the elastomer composition essentially without stress cracking and hence reliably and permanently.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 11, 2019Publication date: June 24, 2021Applicant: SIKA TECHNOLOGY AGInventors: Andreas KRAMER, Urs BURCKHARDT, Michael SCHLUMPF, Martin DEMMIG

Publication number: 20210163667Abstract: Curable compositions include at least one organic polymer which contains silane groups and/or isocyanate groups, at least one compound which contains acetal groups and has a molecular weight of at least 280 g/mol, and at least one basic catalyst. The composition is particularly storage-stable and can be readily processed. Using moisture the composition cures rapidly, and with very little residual tackiness, to form a resilient material that has good adhesive and mechanical properties, in particular a high level of malleability and elasticity, is heat resistant and exhibits hardly any odour formation or migration effects. In particular, the composition has very consistent product properties during storage in respect of viscosity, curing rate and odour.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 24, 2019Publication date: June 3, 2021Applicant: SIKA TECHNOLOGY AGInventors: Andreas KRAMER, Urs BURCKHARDT, Rita CANNAS

Patent number: 11002164Abstract: An internal combustion engine has an oil circuit for supplying oil to powertrain components and cylinder head components of the internal combustion engine. At least one oil pump and one oil filter module are incorporated into the oil circuit. The oil circuit branches into a powertrain oil gallery and a cylinder head oil gallery in the oil filter module or downstream of the oil filter module in a flow direction. The oil circuit is designed so that a lower oil pressure prevails in the powertrain oil gallery than in the cylinder head oil gallery.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2016Date of Patent: May 11, 2021Inventors: Simon Kuebler, Andreas Kramer, Norman Woeckel, Nico Bieber, Markus Spoth, Manuel Buljac

Patent number: 10941164Abstract: An aldiminosilane of the formula (I), to the use thereof as adhesion promoters and/or crosslinking agents, and to curable compositions including same. The aldiminosilane of the formula (I) is odorless, pH-neutral, liquid at room temperature, and has a low sensitivity to heat. The hydrolysis of the aldiminosilane proceeds relatively slowly, and the aldiminosilane is highly effective as an adhesion promoter. Furthermore, the aldiminosilane exhibits excellent compatibility with curable compositions based on isocyanates, epoxides, or silanes, whereby such compositions do not exhibit a propensity for migration effects such as bleeding or substrate soiling after being cured. In particular, isocyanate group-containing compositions containing the aldiminosilane of the formula (I) are highly storage-stable regardless of the storage temperature and the isocyanate used.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2018Date of Patent: March 9, 2021Assignee: SIKA TECHNOLOGY AGInventors: Urs Burckhardt, Andreas Kramer

Patent number: 10899926Abstract: A composition including at least one polymer containing silane groups, at least one epoxy resin, and at least one amine of the formula (I). The composition is low in odor, low in toxicity, and highly workable. It enables low-emission products which cure rapidly at ambient temperature to form macroscopically homogeneous films or bodies having good mechanical properties, high thermal stability and good adhesion properties, the mechanical properties being able to be adjusted from very elastic through to tough elastic. The composition is especially suitable as adhesive and/or sealant or coating.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2017Date of Patent: January 26, 2021Assignee: SIKA TECHNOLOGY AGInventors: Edis Kasemi, Andreas Kramer, Ursula Stadelmann, Urs Burckhardt, Hans Häberle, Steffen Kelch

Publication number: 20200140599Abstract: A compound of formula (I) having advantageous properties when used as a latent curing agent for compositions containing isocyanate groups, and to compositions containing the compound of formula (I). The compound of formula (I) is odourless, is liquid and has comparatively low viscosity at room temperature and is stable in storage together with isocyanates. It makes possible odourless single-component polyurethane compositions which have good stability in storage, do not produce bubbles when cured in the presence of moisture, and cause no problematic odour emissions, giving a cured elastic material having good mechanical properties, good heat stability, a surprisingly non-adhesive surface and little tendency towards plasticizer migration.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 19, 2018Publication date: May 7, 2020Applicant: SIKA TECHNOLOGY AGInventors: Urs BURCKHARDT, Andreas KRAMER

Patent number: 10584268Abstract: The invention relates to the use of an epoxy resin composition, containing at least one reaction product from the reaction of at least one amine of formula (I) with at least one carbonyl compound of formula (II) and hydrogen, as a cold curing primer or adhesive. Primers or adhesives of this type cure rapidly and trouble-free at ambient temperature, even at cold temperatures such as 10 or 5° C., suffer remarkably little yellowing and are free from toxic phenol compounds such as phenol, tert-butylphenol or nonylphenol. The primer has a particularly low viscosity and is particularly suitable for priming porous mineral substrates.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2016Date of Patent: March 10, 2020Assignee: SIKA TECHNOLOGY AGInventors: Edis Kasemi, Andreas Kramer, Ursula Stadelmann, Urs Burckhardt
