Patent number: 5998532Abstract: This invention relates to a new and useful color pigmented moisture curing polyurethane coating that has an adjustable drying time, as well as methods of producing the coating. The coating is suitable for use as a protective and/or decorative coating. The coating comprises one or more specified color pigments, polyisocyanates, polyols, tertiary amines, and blocked amines. The blocked amines, in conjunction with the tertiary amines, allow the coating to dry slowly once the coating has been applied, resulting in a defect free surface. Furthermore, an additional catalyst, comprising a metal catalyst may optionally be added to the coating immediately prior to use in order to speed up the rate of drying of the coating, allowing for very precise control of the drying speed of the coating. Additional optional ingredients may be added to the coating composition, including ultraviolet light stabilizers, wetting agents, solvents, and agents to increase slip and flow.Type: GrantFiled: January 6, 1998Date of Patent: December 7, 1999Inventor: Bhaskar R.

Patent number: 5977283Abstract: The present invention provides a low softening temperature, fast-setting adhesive package that exhibits high ultimate temperature performance. These adhesives are particularly useful in the manufacture of bonded furnishings which may require the creation of a bond at a relatively low temperature but maintenance of the bond at relatively high temperatures. A preferred adhesive of the present invention comprises a partially reacted blend of an aliphatic polyester and a trifunctional isocyanate. After curing, the adhesive forms an adhesive composition that exhibits high temperature performance.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 1997Date of Patent: November 2, 1999Assignee: Lear CorporationInventor: Conrad Rossitto

Patent number: RE37386Abstract: A two component type polyurethane adhesive is provided for fiberglass reinforced plastics which requires no cleaning, preparation or treatment of the surface, and the like. The curative component is a nitrogen-free liquid polyether or polyester in an amount such that in association with a urethane prepolymer component containing free NCO groups, the ratio of the free NCO groups in the prepolymer component to the OH groups in said curative component is at least 1.2 and desirably at least 1.35. Such high NCO/OH ratios have unexpectedly been found to provide good adhesion and especially good humidity adhesion and peel strength adhesion to fiberglass reinforced plastics or metal surfaces which are free from any surface treatment.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 1993Date of Patent: September 18, 2001Inventors: Earl G.
