Abstract: A method is described for debonding a bonded article. The bonded article comprises at least two components which are bonded to one another by means of a polyurethane adhesive selected from aqueous polyurethane dispersion adhesives and polyurethane hotmelt adhesives. At least one of the components is a thermoplastic polyurethane. The components are debonded by treatment with an aqueous surfactant composition at elevated temperatures.

Abstract: Described are aqueous adhesive dispersions comprising dispersed polyurethanes and also ethoxylated fatty alcohols as emulsifiers. The polyurethanes are constructed from certain organic diisocyanates, dihydroxy compounds selected from certain polyester diols and polyether diols, and compounds having groups reactive toward isocyanate groups and having at least one ionic group. The adhesive dispersions can be used as laminating adhesives, for example for composite film lamination or for the lamination of rigid moldings with flexible decorative foils.

Abstract: Described is the use of synthetic adhesives in the manufacture of corrugated fiberboard at relatively low temperatures and high lineal speeds. The corrugated fiberboard includes a corrugated sheet of paper and a flat linerboard and the corrugation of the corrugated sheet of paper is produced at paper temperatures below 95° C. and at a lineal speed above 150 m/min. The production of the corrugation of a corrugated sheet of paper is immediately followed by a continuous operation in which a preferably unheated corrugated board adhesive is applied and the corrugated sheet of paper is adhered to at least one first linerboard. The corrugated board adhesive used is an aqueous adhesive dispersion based on at least one synthetic, dispersed polymer having preferably more than 40% by weight solids content, selected from acrylate copolymers, copolymers of vinylaromatics and conjugated aliphatic dienes and vinyl acetate-alkylene copolymers, wherein the glass transition temperatures of the polymers are above 20° C.
