Abstract: A method for increasing an adhesive to a substrate is disclosed which utilizes a hydrophilic, high molecular weight, nonionic polyurethane adhesive. The polyurethane adhesive is soluble in water and a 1% by weight solution of the adhesive in water at 20% has a specific viscosity of at least 0.4. The nonionic polyurethane contains the following structural units: a) —O—(CH2—CH2O)n where n is 8 to 500; b) —CO—NH—X—NHCO— where X is an aliphatic or cycloaliphatic group; and c) —O—Y—O— wherein Y comprises a hydrophobic moiety from the groups (—CH2—CH(CH3)—O)m—CH2—CH(CH3)—, (—CH2 CH(C2H5)—O)m—CH2—CH(C2H5)—, (—CH2—CH2—CH2—CH2O)m—CH2CH2CH2CH2—, alkylene groups having from 2 to 44 carbon atoms, cycloalkylene groups having from 6 to 44 carbon atoms and mixtures thereof.

Abstract: A dispensing device for dispensing fluids into toilet flushing liquids. The device has a supply container for an active-substance fluid, the supply container having an outlet-side border, an outlet for dispensing active-substance fluid onto a plate-shaped distributing element. The distributing element has a region of action over which flushing liquid flows during the flushing and a connection region, in which the outlet opening of the supply container is arranged. The border is spaced a small distance from the surface of the distributing element. On the top of the distributing element, on the point of connection and directed away from the region of action, is a ventilating channel that is open on top and closed on three sides at its inner end.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions comprising reaction products of a polyisocyanate with a polyester block copolymer and a process for the preparation thereof. These are suitable as a moisture-curing hot melt adhesive. The hot melt adhesive composition may optionally also comprise a reaction product of a polyisocyanate with a polyester polyol and/or a reaction product of a polyisocyanate with a polyether polyol. Such polyurethane hot melt adhesive compositions have good creep resistance and interfacial adhesion values on plastics and show very high strength values.
