  • Patent number: 8506742
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for laminating a plastic film with a wood-base substrate, in particular for producing a high-gloss surface on a wood-base substrate, in which a plastic film is laminated by means of a laminating agent, preferably an adhesive, with a wood-base substrate and permanently bonded to the wood-base substrate, the plastic film being formed so as to be transparent on its top, and the products obtainable in this manner and their use, in particular in the area of the wood and furniture industry, for example for the production of pieces of furniture and fitments of all kinds.

  • Patent number: 8366865
    Abstract: The invention relates to an adhesive system which is based on a non-reactive thermoplastic adhesive melt. The adhesive melt (A) contains a mixture of at least two metallocene-catalytically produced copolymers which are different from each other, and which are based on at least two a-olefins, whereby the copolymers of the mixture, which are different from each other, have different melt indices (MFIs); (B) optionally, at least one additional polymer; and (C) optionally, at least one resin and/or at least one wax. The inventive adhesive system is particularly suitable for use in the wood and furniture industry, e.g. for covering profiles or for gluing edges, in particular, by comparing copolymer adhesives to EVA melt adhesives which are used in a traditional manner, and the system enables considerably lower application temperatures to be used, and at the same time exhibiting improved adhesion capacity.

  • Patent number: 7576158
    Abstract: Disclosed is the production of isocyanate-based or silane-functional adhesive and/or coating materials in the form of reactive single-component granulates and the use thereof. In particular, the reactive one-component coating-material and/or adhesive granules of the include at least one isocyanate-reactive starting polymer and at least one diisocyanate and/or polyisocyanate. Optionally, the granules of the invention may further include at least one catalyst and/or at least one wax and/or at least one resin and/or at least one preferably non-isocyanate-reactive polymer. The granules of the invention may contain an excess of diisocyanate and/or polyisocyanate which amounts to 0.5% to 30 w %, and is preferably generated by free terminal isocyanate groups.

  • Publication number: 20060270820
    Abstract: At least one isocyanate-reactive monomer is reacted with an excess of molten monomeric diisocynate to produce at least one reaction product and a maximum of 0.5 wt % of free isocyanate groups. The reaction product is then mixed with at least 20 wt. %, based on the total weight of reaction product, of at least one isocyanate-terminated prepolymer which is essentially free of diisocyanate monomers and has a viscosity at 20° C. of at least 1.500 mPa·s, the isocyanate-terminated prepolymer having a content of free NCO groups of up to 25 wt % and containing a maximum of 0.1 wt. % of diisocyanate monomer(s) based on the weight of the isocyanate-terminated prepolymer. A polyurethane composition containing less than 0.1 wt. % of monomeric diisocyanate, based on the total weight of the resulting polyurethane composition, is produced.
