  • Patent number: 10865333
    Abstract: An adhesive composition is made from a first part containing an isocyanate group-containing prepolymer that is a reaction product of a first isocyanate and at least one polyol; and a second isocyanate that is essentially unreacted with the first isocyanate, the at least one polyol, and the isocyanate group containing prepolymer; and a second part containing at least two polyols; wherein the adhesive composition is essentially free of diluent oils and solvents. A polyurethane adhesive is made by mixing the first part and the second part in a 1:1 to 1.2:1 weight ratio of the first part to the second part to form a mixture, and curing the mixture. The polyurethane adhesive can be used in articles, including semipermeable membranes and reverse osmosis modules. When a solvent is filtered through the semipermeable membranes by reverse osmosis, the polyurethane adhesive prevents or reduces osmotic blistering.

  • Patent number: 10590318
    Abstract: A multi-part polyurethane composition is composed of a first part comprising a polyurethane prepolymer composition and a second part comprising a polyol having a hydroxyl functionality of 4 to 6, and a desiccant. The composition further comprises a plasticizer, wherein the plasticizer can be present in any one or more of the parts. A polyurethane is formed by mixing and curing the composition. The composition can be used as an adhesive for separatory devices, in particular for potting hollow fibers.
