  • Patent number: 9649826
    Abstract: An adhesive system for preparing lignocellulosic composites comprising a) an aqueous primer composition and, b) a polyurethane adhesive composition, wherein said aqueous primer composition comprises: from 0 to 25 wt. %, by weight of the composition, of polyol selected from the group consisting of water soluble polyols, water dispersible polyols, water emulsifiable polyols and mixtures thereof, wherein said polyols have a molecular weight less than 5000 daltons; and, up to 10 wt. %, by weight of the composition, of surfactant selected from the group consisting of water soluble surfactants, water emulsifiable surfactants and mixtures thereof, with the proviso that the aqueous primer composition must comprise at least one of said polyol or a surfactant having hydroxyl functionality and a molecular weight of less than 5000 daltons.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8137792
    Abstract: The invention provides the art with an adhesive that may advantageously be used in the manufacture of water resistant paperboard products, such as laminated board and corrugated board. The adhesive has the required tack, water resistance and viscosity that allows its use at commercial speeds in a cold corrugating process.

  • Publication number: 20110126982
    Abstract: The present invention relates to moisture curable reactive adhesive compositions containing a visual indicator and methods for using these compositions. Specifically, the invention relates to a two part moisture curable reactive adhesive system, where one part consists of a prepolymer with moisture reactive groups and the second part consists of catalyst, a visual indicator and water. The presence of the indicator allows the combination of the two part system to be visible to the naked eye. The visible indicator ensures that the two part system is combined uniformly and completely to a desired substrate, but it does not interfere with the crosslinking reaction.
