  • Publication number: 20120138206
    Abstract: The invention relates to an adhesive or sealant comprising at least (A) 10% to 90% by weight of a compound selected from the group consisting of polyurethanes, polyureas, polyacrylates and polysulphides and at least (B) 1% to 50% by weight of a cyclohexanepolycarboxylic acid derivative, the adhesive or sealant containing no C4 to C8 alkyl terephthalate. The composition features a low glass transition temperature and also a low dirt pick-up tendency, without detriment to the further performance properties. An additional advantage of the proposed adhesives and sealants lies in their well-balanced mechanical properties. A process for preparing them, and their use for material bonds between parts to be joined, are disclosed.

  • Patent number: 8138277
    Abstract: Disclosed are silane-modified urea derivatives which can be produced by reacting diisocyanates with aminosilanes, hydroxysilanes, or mercaptosilanes. The inventive silane-modified urea derivatives are suitable especially for use as auxiliary rheological agents, preferably as thixotropic agents for silane-crosslinking systems, particularly for single-component and two-component adhesives and sealants, paint, lacquers, and coating while causing substantially no increase in viscosity, not being subject to discoloring, being reactive, and positively influencing mechanics.

  • Publication number: 20110309533
    Abstract: The proposed spinning disc reactor comprises substantially a horizontally rotatable, disc-like and thermostatable support element which has an outer reaction surface, feed means for feeding at least one reactant onto the reaction surface and internal structures for thermostating the reaction surface. In addition, it contains at least one separation apparatus for collecting and removing the reaction product from the reaction surface. The support element is characterized in particular in that it consists of two components a) and b) arranged horizontally one on top of the other and having substantially identical surface measures. These two components are connected to one another in an interlocking manner and tightly during the operating time and the lower component a) has, on its top facing the inner region of the support element, at least one substantially uninterrupted groove milled in over an extensive area and intended for receiving, conducting and discharging a heat-transfer fluid.
