Patent number: 5883217Abstract: The present invention relates to polyurethane hot melt adhesive that are hardened by the action of moisture and which contain at least one reaction product from a component that contains NCO groups and an essentially linear hydroxypolyester, hydroxypolyether, and/or hydroxypolyetherester component. In addition, the present invention relates to a procedure for manufacturing a material that is permeable to water only in vapor form, this being in the form of a fiber material, in particular in the form of a web, which is joined to a polyurethane film, in which the fiber material is coated with a polyurethane material and subsequently the polyurethane material is hardened to form a water-vapor permeable film. The present invention also relates to a material that is permeable to water only in vapor form and which is in the form of a fiber material, in particular in the form of a web, that is bonded to a polyurethane film.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 1997Date of Patent: March 16, 1999Assignee: H. B. Fuller CompanyInventors: Harald Werenicz, Franz Maitz, Walter Nussbaumer, Ludwig Stingl, Franz Peter-Schmitz

Patent number: 5415799Abstract: A cleaning composition for removing reactive polyurethane (PUR) hot melt adhesives from production and processing devices, machines and equipment which includes at least one reactive monofunctional hydroxyl compound which can react with the reactive isocyanate groups of the hot melt adhesive. The monohydroxy functional compound of the invention's clean composition completely saturates the remaining NCO groups of the hot melt adhesive to be removed, converting the adhesive into non-reactive, meltable compounds which are soluble in the cleaning composition.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 1994Date of Patent: May 16, 1995Assignee: H. B. Fuller CompanyInventor: Franz Maitz
