  • Publication number: 20100130674
    Abstract: The person invention relates to a method for the production of a polyurethane composition with a low isocyanate monomer content. In said method, at least one polyurethane polymer comprising isocyanate groups is reacted with at least one compound VB, wherein the compound VB comprises a group carrying an active hydrogen that represents a hydroxyl group or a mercapto group or a secondary amino group and at least one blocked amino group selected from the group consisting of aldimino groups of the formula (Ia) or (Ib), ketimino groups, enamino groups, and oxazolidino groups. Using said method, compositions are obtained in a cost-effective, efficient, and elegant manner having an extremely reduced monomeric diisocyanate content, said compositions being particularly suitable as hot-melt adhesives.

  • Publication number: 20100101455
    Abstract: The present invention relates in a first consideration to aldimines of formula (I). Said aldimines are particularly suitable as latent hardeners in curable compositions, particularly compositions comprising one or two-component isocyanate groups. Due to the presence of the reactive group, they can be converted to compounds of the formulas (X) and (XII) comprising aldimine groups, implementing a further consideration of the present invention. The aldimines, or the compounds comprising aldimine groups, can be used primarily in adhesive and sealant materials, but also in coatings, and can be produced easily from readily available source materials, and have good thermal stability. The tertiary amino group thereof has a surprisingly low alkalinity and can in some cases have a catalytic effect in chemical reaction systems.

  • Publication number: 20100040894
    Abstract: The present invention relates to moisture-curing hotmelt adhesive compositions which comprise at least one silane-functional polyurethane prepolymer of the formula (I). The compositions have neither heating nor curing bubbles and feature an exceptional viscosity stability at high temperatures. These hotmelt adhesives are therefore suitable especially for industrial manufacture and especially of transparent materials.

  • Publication number: 20100032074
    Abstract: The present invention relates to dialdimines of the formula (I) and emulsions and uses thereof. In particular, they can be used for the preparation of pasty curing agent or accelerator components for polymers having isocyanate groups, which lead to very high early strength, which have good flow behaviour on pumping and which can be formulated without VOC solvents, in particular without N-alkylpyrrolidones. These components can be homogeneously or inhomogeneously mixed in an outstanding manner, in particular in a laminar manner, with components which contain polyurethane polymers having isocyanate groups, the two-component compositions thus obtained curing rapidly, having extremely high early strength and remaining without annoying weaknesses.
