20150322312 | Solid, Self-Bondable Isocyanate-Containing Organic Polymers and Methods for Using Same - Solid, non-melting polyurethanes having a glass transition temperature of at least 40° C. and free isocyanate groups are self-bonding materials that are useful in a variety of adhesive and molding operations. Under conditions of heat and moisture, these polyurethanes will self-bond. The polyurethanes can be used as adhesive coatings, which are solid and non-tacky and thus can be transported and stored easily under ambient conditions. These polyurethane adhesives are especially useful in applications in which, due to the location and/or orientation of the substrates, liquid or melting materials cannot be applied easily or will run off the substrates. | 11-12-2015 |
