Abstract: There is provided an adhesive composition comprising (a) a polyisocyanate component comprising (i) monomeric 4,4? methylene diphenyl diisocyanate and (ii) an isocyanate functional prepolymer that is the reaction product of a prepolymer reactant mixture comprising (A) monomeric 4,4? methylene diphenyl diisocyanate, and (B) one or more diol having OH equivalent weight of 225 or less, and (C) one or more triol having OH equivalent weight of 1400 or more, and (b) a polyol component comprising one or more polyol.

Abstract: Provided is a two component adhesive composition comprising (I) an isocyanate component comprising an isocyanate-functional prepolymer that is the reaction product of reactants that comprise (A) one or more aromatic monomeric polyisocyanates and (B) one or more polyol, and (II) a polyol component comprising (A) one or more polyether polyol, (B) one or more fatty triglyceride, and (C) one or more UV absorber or one or more hindered amine light stabilizer or a combination thereof.

Abstract: The invention provides a multilayer film comprising at least two layers A1 and B: A1. a first film layer A1 formed from a composition A1 comprising at least one of the following: an hydroxyl (OH) functionalized ethylene-based polymer and/or a amine-functionalized ethylene-based polymer; and B. a second film layer B formed from a composition B comprising at least one isocyanate. The invention also provides a multilayer film comprising at least two layers A2 and B: A2. A first film layer A2 formed from a composition A2 comprising an anhydride functionalized ethylene-based polymer; and B. A second film layer B formed from a composition B comprising at least one isocyanate.

Abstract: In the construction of a multilayer film in which an ethylene-based polymer layer is joined to one another layer by a polyurethane (PU) adhesive, the rate of cure and the degree of cure of the PU adhesive are accelerated by incorporating into the ethylene-based polymer layer a functional compound with active hydrogens, e.g., a polyol, and/or a cure catalyst, e.g., an amine, zinc or tin-based compound. The catalyst and reactive functionality may be present on the same molecule (e.g. alkoxylated amine or zinc ricinoleate). The catalyst and isocyanate reactive compound will migrate into the PU adhesive over time and accelerate the rate and promote the degree of PU adhesive cure, and the functional compound will promote the migration of the cure catalyst into the PU adhesive. In turn, this accelerated cure inhibits the migration of residual, monomeric amines from the PU adhesive into and through the ethylene-based polymer.
