Adhesive having aromatic diisocyanates and aromatic petroleum distillates with low volatility for use in engineered wood products
View Patent ↗The present invention is an adhesive suitable for use in the production of engineered wood products, said adhesive comprised of an aromatic diisocyanate (99.0-10.0 parts by mass) and an aromatic petroleum distillate (1.0-90.0 parts by mass) with low volatility. The adhesive composition may result in improved coverage or distribution on the outer surface of raw materials, such as strands, particles, flakes, fibers, or veneer.
1. An adhesive for attaching a plurality of raw materials, the adhesive comprising:
an aromatic diisocyanate, the aromatic diisocyanate being present in a quantity of about 90.0 to about 10.0 parts by mass;
an aromatic petroleum distillate, the aromatic petroleum distillate being present in a quantity of about 10.0 to about 90.0 parts by mass; and
phenyl acetate present in a quantity of about 0.1 to about 10.0 parts by mass.
2. The adhesive of claim 1 wherein the aromatic diisocyanate is selected from the group consisting of: 2,4′-methylene bis(phenylisocyanate), 4,4′-methylene bis(phenylisocyanate), 1,5′-naphthalenediisocyante, 2,4-toluene diisocyanate, and pMDI.
3. The adhesive of claim 1 wherein the aromatic petroleum distillate has a boiling point in excess of about 220° C. at 760 torr.
4. The adhesive of claim 1 further comprising one or more of the following: a surfactant, a fungicide, an insecticide, a moldicide, and a colorant.
5. The adhesive of claim 1 wherein the plurality of raw materials includes one raw material selected from the group consisting of: strands, particles, flakes, fibers and veneer.
6. An adhesive for attaching a plurality of raw materials, the adhesive comprising:
an aromatic diisocyanate, the aromatic diisocyanate being present in a quantity of about 90.0 to about 10.0 parts by mass;
an aromatic petroleum distillate, the aromatic petroleum distillate being present in a quantity of about 10.0 to about 90.0 parts by mass; and
an aromatic ester, the aromatic ester being present in a quantity of about 0.1 to about 10.0 parts by mass and being selected from the group consisting of: phenyl acetate, phenyl salicylate, phenyl benzoate, phenyl carbonate, salicylic acid acetate, 2-naphthyl benzoate, 2-naphthyl lactate, 1-naphthyl salicylate, 2-naphthyl salicylate, n-butylbenzoate, benzyl formate, benzyl acetate, benzyl salicylate, benzyl benzoate, and benzyl fumarate.
7. The adhesive of claim 6 wherein the aromatic diisocyanate is selected from the group consisting of: 2,4′-methylene bis(phenylisocyanate), 4,4′-methylene bis(phenylisocyanate), 1,5′-naphthalenediisocyante, 2,4-toluene diisocyanate, and pMDI.
8. The adhesive of claim 6 wherein the aromatic petroleum distillate has a boiling point in excess of about 220° C. at 760 torr.
9. The adhesive of claim 6 further comprising one or more of the following: a surfactant, a fungicide, an insecticide, a moldicide, and a colorant.
10. The adhesive of claim 6 wherein the plurality of raw materials includes one raw material selected from the group consisting of: strands, particles, flakes, fibers and veneer.
