Abstract
The invention relates to new adhesive thermoplastic compositions. The adhesive thermoplastic compositions according to the invention comprise at least one rubbery constituent and at least one resinous constituent and, if appropriate, other constituents, such as a plasticizer, filler and/or stabilizer, which are commonly incorporated into known adhesive thermoplastic compositions, generally called hot melts, but they also contain at least one special resin including regions of high cohesion incompatible with the rubbery constituent on the molecular scale, but miscible on the macroscopic scale. The compositions according to the invention are particularly useful for sealing double glazing units.
Claims6
A thermoplastic, thermofusible adhesive composition comprising as essential elements:
- (1) 100 parts of a butyl rubber having a Mooney viscosity (ML 1+3 at 127.degree. C.) of 30 to 80,
- (2) 50 to 1000 parts resinous constituents comprising:
- (a) an adhesion improving amount up to 300 parts terpene-phenolic resin having a softening point (ring and ball) of up to 200.degree. C.;
- (b) a sag resistance improving amount up to 200 parts ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer having a melt flow index of not more than 700;
- and
- (c) 0 to 500 parts aliphatic hydrocarbon resin, coumarone- indene resin, or a combination thereof having a softening point (ring and ball) of about 100.degree. C.;
- (3) 1 to 300 parts of a block copolyetheresteramide consisting of a product resulting from the polyconsendation of an .alpha., .omega.-dicarboxylic polyamide or copolyamide having a number average molecular weight of 300 to 15,000, employed in an amount of 90 to 5% by weight and of an aliphatic .alpha., .omega.-dihydroxylated polyoxyalkylene having a number average molecular weight of 100 to 6,000, employed in an amount of 10 to 95% weight, the said polycondensation product having a softening point (ring and ball) of between 80.degree. and 210.degree. C. and a viscosity in the molten state of 10 to 2,000 Pa.s (200.degree. C.);
- (4) an adhesion improving amount up to 500 parts of polyisobutylene having a number average molecular weight of at most 50,000;
- and
- (5) a reinforcing amount up to 300 parts of fillers.
