Abstract: Urethane-modified polyisocyanate compositions are made by reacting (a) an organic polyisocyanate or mixture of polyisocyanates having an NCO-content of from 5 to 45 wt % with (b) a hydantoin having an OH number of from 56 to 596 and containing two alcoholic hydroxyl groups. These reactants are used in quantities such that the NCO:OH equivalent ratio is from 2:1 to 50:1. The preferred polyisocyanates are 4,4'-diisocyanatodiphenylmethane and isomer mixtures thereof. The most preferred hydantoin is 5,5-dimethyl hydantoin. These urethane-modified polyisocyanates are particularly useful in the production of polyisocyanate addition products such as polyurethanes and polyisocyanurates.

Abstract: Polyurethane urea elastomers are produced by reacting polyisocyanates with compounds containing at least two isocyanate reactive hydrogen atoms having a molecular weight of 400 to 10,000 and mononuclear or dinuclear aromatic diamines.

Abstract: The invention relates to a solvent-free hotmelt adhesive based on polyester polyurethanes which are suitable for the production of composite structures and, in particular, laminated parts for the interior finishing of motor vehicles. The hotmelt adhesive is based on polyester polyurethanes which are obtained by reacting organic polyester polyols and low molecular weight diols as chain-extending agents and which are modified by the incorporation of carboxyl and sulfonate groups. In addition to these modified polyester polyurethanes, the hotmelt adhesive may also contain unmodified polyester polyurethanes and crosslinking agents. The hotmelt adhesive is preferably in the form of a film or an in situ coating on a substrate. The hotmelt adhesive is produced by known processes of the type normally used for producing the known, unmodified polyester polyurethanes.
