  • Patent number: 5290853
    Abstract: One-part, ambient moisture-curable polyurethane adhesives are produced by reacting with a polyol selected from the group consisting of polyether diols, triols and tetrols based on propylene glycol or ethylene-capped propylene glycol and mixtures thereof with an organic polyisocyanate for a sufficient time to form a reaction product including an isocyanate-terminated prepolymer and unreacted isocyanate, admixing with the reaction product talc or another additive containing free water which reacts with the unreacted isocyanate to extend the chain of the polyurethane and provide hard segments therein, allowing the water-isocyanate reaction to proceed until a predetermined amount of unreacted isocyanate remains and introducing the resulting adhesive into a substantially hermetically sealed container or package.
