Abstract: Urethane adhesive compositions comprising amide based polyols. The amide polyols comprise the reaction product of a reactant selected from the group consisting of lactic acid, lactic acid esters, lactone, glycolic acid, glycolic acid esters, and combinations thereof with one or more amines. The urethane adhesive compositions may be applied in methods of manufacturing a tile installation.

Abstract: An epoxy adhesive composition of an epoxy resin and an amine hardener includes a synergistic accelerator of an effective amount of short chain polyol and an effective amount of a dihydric phenol having between about 6 and about 24 carbon atoms. Surfaces of adherends are joined with the dried residue of the epoxy adhesive composition by applying the epoxy resin composition to one or both surfaces, joining the surfaces, and applying pressure, optionally with heating. The joined adherends having the dried epoxy resin composition is another disclosed embodiment.

Abstract: An epoxy adhesive composition of an epoxy resin, an epoxy terminated liquid rubber, filler, and an amine curing package for said epoxy resin is disclosed. Advantageously, a short chain diol will be incorporated into the adhesive in order to enhance reactivity and strength build. Advantageously, a mixture of amines will be used in the curative including multifunctional aliphatic amines that improve adhesion and strength build; tertiary amines which are used to enhance adhesion and strength build, polyamides which can be used to provide flexibility; and amine-terminated rubbers (ATBN) which can improve toughness and impact resistance to the cured system. The preferred short chain diol is glycerin. Surfaces of adherends are joined with the dried residue of the epoxy adhesive composition by applying the epoxy resin composition to one or both surfaces, joining the surfaces, and applying pressure, optionally with heating.
Abstract: One aspect of the present invention is an adhesive composition formed from two packs. One pack includes an isocyanate-functional prepolymer formed by reacting a polyisocyanate with an alcohol (e.g., polyol). The isocyanate equivalents from the polyisocyanate exceed the hydroxyl equivalents from the alcohol. The second pack is an aqueous polymer emulsion. These two packs are combined to form the novel adhesive composition. Another aspect of the invention is a method for joining together two surfaces of wood products by application of an adhesive thereto. The first step in this method is to mist with water the wood product surfaces to be joined. An adhesive composition then is applied to the misted wood product surfaces. Alternatively, the water misting can be replaced with an aqueous emulsion being part of the adhesive composition. Finally, the adhesive composition is cured.
