Abstract
The invention relates to relates to moisture-hardened hot melt adhesive which contains at least one polyurethane polymer of formula (I) which comprises aldimine groups and which is solid at room temperature, in addition to at least one polyurethane polymer P which comprises isocyanate groups, if q in formula (I) represents zero, or if X in formula (I) represents N—R8 with R8 as a substituent of formula (III). The compositions are characterised in that contain visibly less isocyanate monomers and are therefor particularly advantageous from a work-hygiene point of view.
Claims26
A composition comprising
- a) at least one polyurethane polymer of the formula (I) which is solid at room temperature and has aldimino groups
- in which
- p is an integer 1 or 2 and
- q is an integer 0 or 1,
- with the proviso that p+q=2;
- R1 is either
- a monovalent hydrocarbon radical having 6 to 30 C atoms which optionally has at least one heteroatom;
- or
- is a substituent of the formula (II)
- in which
- R6 is a divalent hydrocarbon radical having 2 to 20 C atoms which optionally has at least one heteroatom;
- and
- R7 is a monovalent hydrocarbon radical having 1 to 20 C atoms;
- R2 and R3 either,
- independently of one another, are each a monovalent hydrocarbon radical having 1 to 12 C atoms;
- or
- together form a divalent hydrocarbon radical having 4 to 20 C atoms, which is part of an optionally substituted carbocyclic ring having 5 to 8, preferably 6, C atoms;
- and in which
- R4 is a divalent hydrocarbon radical having 2 to 12 C atoms which optionally has at least one heteroatom;
- R5 is the radical of a polyurethane polymer D which is solid at room temperature and has isocyanate groups, after removal of (p+q) isocyanate groups;
- X is O, S or N—R8,
- in which
- R8 is either
- a monovalent hydrocarbon radical having 1 to 20 C atoms which optionally has at least one carboxylic acid ester, nitrile, nitro, phosphonic acid ester, sulfone or sulfonic acid ester group
- or
- a substituent of the formula (III)
- b) at least one polyurethane polymer P having isocyanate groups, if q in formula (I) is zero, or if X in formula (I) is N—R8 with R8 as a substituent of the formula (III).
A method for reducing the content of monomeric diisocyanates in polyurethane polymers having isocyanate groups or in compositions which contain polyurethane polymers having isocyanate groups by reacting the polyurethane polymers having isocyanate groups with at least one aldimine of the formula (XI)
- R1 is either
- a monovalent hydrocarbon radical having 6 to 30 C atoms which optionally has at least one heteroatom;
- or
- is a substituent of the formula (II)
- in which
- R6 is a divalent hydrocarbon radical having 2 to 20 C atoms which optionally has at least one heteroatom,
- and
- R7 is a monovalent hydrocarbon radical having 1 to 20 C atoms;
- R2 and R3 either,
- independently of one another, are each a monovalent hydrocarbon radical having 1 to 12 C atoms;
- or
- together form a divalent hydrocarbon radical having 4 to 20 C atoms which is part of an optionally substituted carbocyclic ring having 5 to 8 C atoms;
- and in which
- R4 is a divalent hydrocarbon radical having 2 to 12 C atoms which optionally has at least one heteroatom;
- R5 is the radical of a polyurethane polymer D which is solid at room temperature and has isocyanate groups, after removal of (p+q) isocyanate groups;
- X is O, S or N—R8,
- in which
- R8 is either
- a monovalent hydrocarbon radical having 1 to 20 C atoms which optionally has at least one carboxylic acid ester, nitrile, nitro, phosphonic acid ester, sulfone or sulfonic acid ester group
- or
- a substituent of the formula (III)
