Patent number: 8747602Abstract: A polyurethane adhesive which is useful in bonding porous and non-porous surfaces is provided. The adhesive is especially useful in bonding windshield glass into automotive frames under a variety of environmental conditions, particularly in after market windshield replacement applications. The polyurethane includes at least one urethane prepolymer which is based on at least one thermoplastic polyol. In one embodiment, the urethane prepolymer may be formed from one or more polyisocyanates, one or more polyetherpolyols and one or more thermoplastic polyesterpolyols, wherein the prepolymer has a free isocyanate content of from about 0.6 to about 3.5% by weight, based on the weight of the polyurethane. In another embodiment, a one-part adhesive composition is provided which includes an isocyanate-functional and thermoplastic polyurethane prepolymer having a free isocyanate content of from about 0.6 to about 3.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2010Date of Patent: June 10, 2014Assignee: Sika Technology AGInventors: Steven Rosenberg, Hong Yao, Thomas Bove, Adrian Van Maurik, Hans Peter Tschan, Norman Blank

Patent number: 5894071Abstract: Two-component adhesive-, sealing- or coating compositions are being described which are separately packed, and comprise the component A and the component D, whereby the component A is curing as soon as it gets in touch with water or the component D which contains the curing agent for the component A.The component D can be, or a component B containing an ingredient which is curing at the contact of water, or, possibly, at the contact with the component A, orthe component D can also be a mixture of solid matter and a volatile ingredient which is causing the cross-linking of the component A.The advantage of the novel two-component systems is that the component D is working as a curing agent for the component A, however, a surplus thereof is, or self-curing, or it does not leave a nuissance residue in the cured composition.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 1996Date of Patent: April 13, 1999Assignee: Sika AG, vorm.

Patent number: 4778845Abstract: A one-component adhesive and/or sealing mass which is stable and pumpable at temperatures up to 30.degree. C. containsat least one prepolymer on the basis of a polyurethane, which contains from 0.1 to 15 percent by weight, referred to the prepolymer, of free, reactive isocyanate groups, andat least one with heat activatable hardener.Thereby the stoichiometric ratio between said prepolymer and said hardener is chosen in such a way that only a partial cross-linkage is possible during heating said mass to temperatures from 60.degree. C. to 180.degree. C., and that a product is obtained having from high viscous to plastic characteristics.The inventive masses may be used for bonding and/or sealing of one or more materials of the same or different origin to a composite.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 1987Date of Patent: October 18, 1988Assignee: Sika AG, vorm.
