摘要:
A hydrophilic, high molecular weight nonionic polyurethane, characterized by solubility in water and by a specific viscosity of at least 0.4 (1% by weight solution at 20° C.) is provided. Examples of such polyurethanes are those characterized by the following structural units: a) —O(—CH2—CH2—O)n—, where n=8 to 500, and b) —CO—NH—X—NH—CO—, where X is an aliphatic or cycloaliphatic radical. Also provided are methods of using the polyurethane as an adhesive, more particularly a hotmelt adhesive or a solvent-based adhesive, for example a wallpaper adhesive and labelling adhesive, of using polyurethane as a stabilizer in the emulsion polymerization of, in particular, vinyl acetate and vinyl chloride and in the copolymerization of ethylene and vinyl acetate, and of using the polyurethane as a thickener for aqueous systems, more particularly together with nonionic surfactants.
摘要:
A method for increasing an adhesive to a substrate is disclosed which utilizes a hydrophilic, high molecular weight, nonionic polyurethane adhesive. The polyurethane adhesive is soluble in water and a 1% by weight solution of the adhesive in water at 20% has a specific viscosity of at least 0.4. The nonionic polyurethane contains the following structural units: a) —O—(CH2—CH2O)n where n is 8 to 500; b) —CO—NH—X—NHCO— where X is an aliphatic or cycloaliphatic group; and c) —O—Y—O— wherein Y comprises a hydrophobic moiety from the groups (—CH2—CH(CH3)—O)m—CH2—CH(CH3)—, (—CH2 CH(C2H5)—O)m—CH2—CH(C2H5)—, (—CH2—CH2—CH2—CH2O)m—CH2CH2CH2CH2—, alkylene groups having from 2 to 44 carbon atoms, cycloalkylene groups having from 6 to 44 carbon atoms and mixtures thereof.
