Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of thermosetting polyurethane urea reactive adhesive compositions which are stable at ambient temperature but rapidly set at higher temperatures, wherein the adhesive comprises stabilized finely-divided polyisocyanates of retarded reactivity of which 0.1 to 25% of the NCO-groups are surface-modified and higher and/or lower molecular polyamines (optionally with polyols as additional reactive components). An important feature of these thermosetting reactive adhesive compositions is their capacity for storage at ambient temperature and their spontaneous increase in viscosity at relatively low heating temperatures which prevents the adhesive from running off during the heating period when applied to vertical surfaces.

Abstract: Compositions which are storage stable at room temperature are made from an organic polyisocyanate, a compound containing at least two isocyanate-reactive groups and a latent catalyst. The latent catalyst is formed from an amine and an alkylating ester of an acid of phosphorus. These compositions react to form isocyanate polyaddition products when exposed to a temperature of 60.degree. C. or higher. These compositions are useful in the production of adhesives, foamed and non-foamed plastics and coatings.

Abstract: A film is bonded to a substrate by applying a layer of adhesive to the film to be bonded, contacting the film with a substrate and subjecting the adhesive to high energy radiation either before, during or after the film and substrate are contacted. The adhesive layer is from 0.5 to 20 .mu.m thick.
