Abstract: A self-supporting reactive hot-melt adhesive element of a reactive one-component hot-melt adhesive which is solid at room-temperature. The adhesive element comprises at least one isocyanate being solid or liquid at room-temperature; and at least one isocyanate-reactive polymer and/or resin being solid at room-temperature. Also disclosed is a process of producing said adhesive element as well as its application and use, in particular in a hot-melt adhesive bonding process.

Abstract: Disclosed is a multicomponent, isocyanate-terminated or silane-functionalized coating and adhesive material which is continuously produced by mixing the individual components and by heating the latter and continuing mixing until said components reach a liquid state, wherein the resulting reactive coating and adhesive material is fed for direct use especially in profile sheathing plants, coating plants or the like. In the case of isocyanate-terminated material, one component has a reactive high-molecular weight starting polymer and a second component has a reactive isocyanate-terminated cross-linking agent. In the case of the silane- functionalized material, one component has a high-molecular weight starting material and a second component has a reactive, silane-functionalized cross-linking agent.

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.

Abstract: The invention relates to methods for joining or assembling thermoplastic synthetic extrudates, especially in the form of a billet or band, to material surfaces, preferably by means of gluing, in addition to objects produced according to said methods. The invention also relates to the use of special adhesives and adhesive compositions for gluing thermoplastic synthetic extrudates to material surfaces.

Abstract: A one-component dispersion comprising deactivated isocyanates which cross-links already at low temperatures (lower than 70° C.).

Abstract: Disclosed is a storage-stable, essentially aqueous one component dispersion, of a deactivated isocyanate and a isocyanate-reactive polymer which cross-links at low temperatures.

Abstract: A method and system for translating, learning and speaking a foreign language are disclosed. The method comprises the steps of selecting a word or phrase in a known language which needs to be expressed in a foreign language, locating the word or phrase in a provided manual text, reading the manual text and a provided transition guide, and speaking the desired word or phrase in the foreign language. The system comprises a manual text comprising a plurality of pages bound together at a spine containing three columns and at least one row of text. The first column contain word(s) or phrases in a known language, the second column contains corresponding word(s) or phrases in a foreign language, and the third column contains a transition guide for aiding in the proper pronunciation of the foreign language.

Abstract: The invention concerns processes for producing polyurethane compositions with a low content of diisocyanate monomer(s), the use of polyurethane compositions produced by these processes, especially in a bonding process or for coating purposes, and adhesives and coating compounds that contain these types of polyurethane compositions.

Abstract: A self-supporting reactive hot-melt adhesive element of a reactive one-component hot-melt adhesive which is solid at room-temperature.
