  • Patent number: 10851272
    Abstract: The invention relates to a two-component polyurethane adhesive containing i) a polyol component including a mixture of three different polyols to ensure crosslinking for a mechanically stable adhesive bonding, and also to achieve hydrophobia to ensure that the crosslinked adhesive layer is impervious to moisture, and glass fibers, and ii) an isocyanate component containing polyisocyanates in an NCO/OH ratio of 0.9:1 to 1.5:1. The polyol component further includes a metal catalyst. The two-component adhesive has a high adhesive strength, a high glass temperature, a low curing time and a sufficiently long processing time, which can adhesively bond also substrates having uneven surfaces. The invention further relates to an article comprising the two-component polyurethane adhesive.

  • Publication number: 20050173830
    Abstract: Moldings based on polyurethane binders containing at least one polyisocyanate, at least one polyol or polyamine, at least one carboxylic acid such as a long-chain fatty acid, and, if appropriate, water and/or one or more amines with one or more fillers have high flexibility if the average particle diameter of the fillers is up to 2.5 mm. The fillers preferably contain particles having round, oval or completely irregular structures. The binder composition and the fillers are reacted at a pressure of 1 MPa to 40 MPa (preferably, at temperatures of from about 60 to about 180° C. for from about 1 to 30 min), and then the shaping apparatus is depressurized. The resultant moldings are suitable for the production of sheets or of semifinished products for the coating of furniture, kitchen worktops, floors, walls, stairs, or ceilings.
