Abstract: New contact adhesives which are designed as multifunctional contact reactive adhesives and which may be used in a multistage curing process, for example for bonding wood, plastic moldings, metals and the like, are provided. One of the functional substituents of the adhesive composition is characterized by the presence of an olefinic double bond which is accessible to radical reaction initiation. The other functional substituent is an isocyanate group which reacts off, e.g. under the effect of moisture. These different reaction mechanisms enable the reactive contact adhesive to be cured in stages, e.g. by forming contact-sensitive adhesive layers on hard surfaces in a first stage, subsequently fitting the correspondingly coated surfaces together and firmly bonding them together in a final stage, e.g. under the effect of atmospheric moisture. Also provided is a process for the production of the new reactive contact adhesives.

Abstract: Antistatic agents and their use in processing textiles or formed plastic substrates. The antistatic agent comprises a compound having a fluorocarbon moiety and an ethoxylated quaternary ammonium moiety.
