Abstract: The present claims relate to aqueous dispersion adhesives comprising at least one polyurethane dispersion and at least one carbodiimide having the general formula R?—(—N?C?N—R—)m—R?, in which m corresponds to an integer from 1 to 500, R=arylene and/or C7-C11 aralkylene, R??R—NCO, and R??—NCO, where in R?, independently of one another, R1 and R2 are identical or different and represent a C1-C6 alkyl, C6-C10 cycloalkyl or C7-C18 aralkyl radical.

Abstract: Expandable, thermally curable compositions containing at least one epoxy resin, at least one polyester, at least one blowing agent, and at least one curing agent are useful as adhesives and structural reinforcement materials. When foamed and adhered to a metal substrate surface, such polyester-modified foamable compositions can exhibit improved adhesion to the substrate surface after exposure to a corrosive environment, as compared to compositions that do not contain polyester. Furthermore, these compositions can exhibit improved flow properties in the uncured state at temperatures between 50 and 100° C. They are granulatable, with the granules produced thereby having non-tacky surfaces at room temperature and being capable of being readily processed into molded objects by injection molding processes.

Abstract: The present invention relates to innovative aqueous dispersion adhesives, processes for preparing them and use thereof in the furniture and automotive industries.

Abstract: The invention relates to innovative flexible packaging forms comprising at least 2 different layers of material joined by means of one or more adhesive layers, at least one of these adhesive layers comprising a carbodiimide or a mixture of two or more carbodiimides, to a method for producing them and to the use thereof.

Abstract: The invention relates to innovative viscosity stabilizers for hotmelts, to melt-viscosity-stable hotmelts comprising these viscosity stabilizers, to a process for preparing them and to their use.

Abstract: The present invention relates to hot-melt adhesive compositions comprising in addition to 2-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-6-[[3-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-2-hydroxy-5-methylphenyl]methyl-4-methylphenyl]acrylate as an antioxidant at least one carbodiimide compound.
