Abstract: A hotmelt adhesive having a melting point of at least 40° C. is provided which may be hardened in multiple stages and which is useful in the production of laminates. The hotmelt adhesive may contain a polymer with at least one functional group that is reactive towards a compound with an acidic hydrogen atom and with one functional group that can be polymerized by UV or electron beams, or a polymer with at least one functional group that is reactive towards a compound with an acidic hydrogen atom and with no functional group that can be polymerized by UV or electron beams. These polymers may be used in combination with a relatively low molecular compound with a functional group that can be polymerized by UV or electron beams.

Abstract: A low-monomer PU prepolymer containing free NCO groups which is obtained from polyhydric alcohols and diisocyanates differing in their reactivity and which is distinguished by the ratio of the NCO groups of the partly slower-reacting diisocyanate to the NCO groups of the faster-reacting diisocyanate. It is greater than 6:1. Nevertheless the prepolymer according to the invention cures more quickly than a known prepolymer predominantly containing fast-reacting NCO groups. In a preferred embodiment, TDI is used as the partly slower-reacting diisocyanate while MDI is used as the faster-reacting diisocyanate. The prepolymer is produced in two stages. The prepolymer according to the invention is suitable for bonding plastic articles, metals and paper, especially films. The accelerated absence of migration is particularly noticeable in this regard.

Abstract: The invention relates to polyurethane compositions with a low content of monomeric diisocyanates. Trifunctional isocyanates optionally reduced in their functionality to 3.0.+-.0.7 with a monofunctional terminator are preferably used for this purpose. In this way, the compositions contain considerably smaller quantities of readily volatile isocyanates. The compositions are suitable for use as reactive hotmelt adhesives, lamination adhesives, adhesive/sealing compounds, primers and for the production of foam plastics from non-reusable pressurized containers (aerosol cans). The low content of volatile monomeric diisocyanates enables the need for safety measures in the workplace to be significantly reduced, in addition to which the disposal of residues remaining in the containers is made considerably easier.

Abstract: A mixture of an adduct of an epoxy resin and a novolak with an acrylate polymer, a modified bisphenol A or a polyol in conjunction with a polyisocyanate or a polyol of an OH-terminated polyurethane or polyester gives a heat-sealing adhesive combining high heat resistance and good hydrolysis stability with relatively high bond strengths. Accordingly, the composition is suitable above all as a base material and cover film for printed circuits.
