Abstract: An adhesion-improver which comprises a reaction product of an amino compound having a primary and/or secondary amino group in the molecule or a modified amino compound obtained by modifying the amino compound with a compound having an epoxy group, and a carbonyl compound, particularly a dicarbonyl compound of the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are the same or different and are each an alkyl having 1 to 16 carbon atoms, an aryl having 6 to 12 carbon atoms or an alkoxy having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, R.sup.3 is a hydrocarbon group having one or more carbon atoms, and n is 0 or 1, is used to prepare a curable composition such as an adhesive, sealing agent, paint or pourable compound.

Abstract: A plastisol composition comprising polyvinyl chloride as a main component, a plasticizer and a blocked compound of diisocyanate polymer with styrenated phenol as an adhesion-improver, and optionally a powdery curing agent having a melting point of 50.degree. to 150.degree. C. which is surface-treated, said composition having improved adhesion properties when gelated under low temperature conditions such as at 110.degree. to 130.degree. C. for 15 to 30 minutes and being useful as an adhesive, a sealant, or a coating agent, particularly as a sealant for the body of automobiles, and a novel blocked polyisocyanurate compound useful as an adhesion-improver for the above plastisol composition and also as an adhesive, a coating agent, a sealant, and an crosslinking agent for an active hydrogen-containing high molecular weight compound.

Abstract: An adhesion-improver which comprises a reaction product of an amino compound having a primary and/or secondary amino group in the molecule or a modified amino compound obtained by modifying the amino compound with a compound having an epoxy group, and a carbonyl compound, particularly a dicarbonyl compound of the formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are the same or different and are each an alkyl having 1 to 16 carbon atoms, an aryl having 6 to 12 carbon atoms or an alkoxy having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, R.sup.3 is a hydrocarbon group having one or more carbon atoms, and n is 0 or 1, which is useful for improving adhesion of curable compositions such as adhesives, sealing agents, paints and pourable compounds, and a curable composition comprising a conventional main component and the adhesion-improver as set forth above which has excellent adhesion and curing characteristics.

Abstract: A two part epoxy composition which comprises(1) a specific modified epoxy resin component comprising(a) an epoxy resin,(b) an epoxy resin modified with a butadiene-acrylonitrile copolymer rubber, and(c) a urethane-modified epoxy resin obtained by reacting an isocyanate-terminated urethane prepolymer obtained from a polytetramethylene ether glycol and a diisocyanate with an epoxy resin containing at least one hydroxy group in the molecule, and(2) a curing agent comprising a polyamide-amine, said epoxy resin composition having excellent knife-cutting property and being useful as an adhesive or a coating agent.

Abstract: An improved method for the production of a laminated product of porous materials, which comprises applying a two-part aqueous adhesive comprising(A) a main composition comprising a water-soluble urethane prepolymer and a polyurethane rubber, and(B) a curing composition comprising water and optionally a conventional curing agent,to the surface of at least one of materials to be adhered, wherein at least one of the materials to be adhered is a porous material, and piling up the materials and then pressing. Said two-part aqueous adhesive has excellent adhesion, particularly initial adhesion, and hence can give the desired laminated products by pressing the piled materials for a very short period of time, and the laminated products have excellent feeling and handling and are useful as a material for seats in automobiles, offices, etc., carpets, cushions, and the like.
