Abstract

A hot melt moisture cure adhesive composition that includes a polyurethane prepolymer that includes the reaction product of diisocyanate, a polyester triol first polyol, a crystalline polyester second polyol, and a third polyol different from the first and second polyols.

Claims (56)

1. A hot melt moisture cure adhesive composition comprising:

a polyurethane prepolymer comprising the reaction product of

diisocyanate,

from 1% by weight to 10% by weight of a polyester triol first polyol,

from 1% by weight to 20% by weight of a crystalline polyester second polyol, and

from 30% by weight to 75% by weight of at least one third polyol different from the first and second polyols,

the composition

passes Heat Resistance test method when tested at 260° C.,

maintains at least 50% of its tensile strength after 35 days when tested according to Hydrolysis Resistance test method,

or a combination thereof.

2. The hot melt moisture cure adhesive composition of claim 1 , wherein the prepolymer comprises the reaction product of

the diisocyanate,

from 1% by weight to 6% by weight of the polyester triol,

from 1% by weight to 15% by weight of the crystalline polyester second polyol, and

from 50% by weight to 75% by weight of the at least one third polyol.

3. The hot melt moisture cure adhesive composition of claim 1 further comprising a flame retardant, the composition being self-extinguishing.

4. The hot melt moisture cure adhesive composition of claim 1 , wherein the at least one third polyol is selected from the group consisting of polyether polyol, polycarbonate polyol, and combinations thereof.

5. The hot melt moisture cure adhesive composition of claim 1 , wherein the polyester triol comprises polycaprolactone triol and the at least one third polyol is selected from the group consisting of polyether polyol, polycarbonate polyol, and combinations thereof.

6. The hot melt moisture cure adhesive composition of claim 1 , wherein the third polyol comprises polytetramethylene ether glycol.

7. The hot melt moisture cure adhesive composition of claim 1 , wherein the crystalline polyester second polyol exhibits a melting point of at least 40° C.

8. The hot melt moisture cure adhesive composition of claim 1 further comprising a solid flame retardant agent.

9. A hot melt moisture cure adhesive composition comprising:

a polyurethane prepolymer comprising the reaction product of

diisocyanate,

from 1% by weight to 10% by weight of a polyester triol first polyol,

from 1% by weight to 20% by weight of a crystalline polyester second polyol, and

from 30% by weight to 75% by weight of at least one third polyol different from the first and second polyols; and

a solid flame retardant agent.

10. The hot melt moisture cure adhesive composition of claim 9 , wherein the flame retardant agent has a melt temperature of at least 300° C.

11. The hot melt moisture cure adhesive composition of claim 9 further comprising a solid flame retardant agent comprising hydroxyl groups.

12. The hot melt moisture cure adhesive composition of claim 9 , wherein the prepolymer comprises the reaction product of

the diisocyanate,

from 1% by weight to 6% by weight of the polyester triol,

from 1% by weight to 15% by weight of the crystalline polyester second polyol, and

from 50% by weight to 70% by weight of the at least one third polyol.

13. The hot melt moisture cure adhesive composition of claim 1 , wherein the prepolymer comprises the reaction product of

the diisocyanate,

from 1% by weight to 6% by weight of the polyester triol,

from 1% by weight to 15% by weight of the crystalline polyester second polyol,

from 50% by weight to 70% by weight of the at least one third polyol, and

from 1% by weight to 15% by weight solid flame retardant agent comprising hydroxyl groups.

14. A laminate comprising:

a cured adhesive composition derived from the hot melt moisture cure adhesive composition of claim 9 ;

a first substrate; and

a second substrate adhered to the first substrate through the cured adhesive composition.

15. The laminate of claim 14 , wherein the laminate comprises a multi-layer textile.

16. The hot melt moisture cure adhesive composition of claim 2 further comprising a solid flame retardant agent.

17. The hot melt moisture cure adhesive composition of claim 9 , wherein the composition is self-extinguishing.

18. A hot melt moisture cure adhesive composition comprising:

a polyurethane prepolymer comprising the reaction product of

diisocyanate,

from 1% by weight to 10% by weight of a polyester triol first polyol comprising polycaprolactone triol,

from 1% by weight to 20% by weight of a crystalline polyester second polyol, and

from 30% by weight to 75% by weight of at least one third polyol different from the first and second polyols.

19. The hot melt moisture cure adhesive composition of claim 18 further comprising a solid flame retardant agent.

20. The hot melt moisture cure adhesive composition of claim 9 , wherein the flame retardant agent has a melt temperature of at least 100° C.
