Abstract

The invention relates to formulations of aqueous dispersion adhesives on the basis of aqueous polyurethane or polyurethane-urea dispersions and the use of the adhesive formulations for bonding foam substrates according to the spray coagulation method.

Claims (27)

1. A process for adhesively bonding substrates by mixing a formulation with a coagulant in a two-component spray gun, wherein the coagulant is conveyed separately into the two-component spray gun and is mixed in a spray jet and the coagulation of the dispersion in the spray jet takes place on a path to a surface of a first substrate, on impact with said substrate forms a film which is immediately tacky in a still-wet state and in the wet state a second surface is immediately joined, optionally with pressure on the substrate towards an adhesive surface,

wherein the formulation comprises:

I. an aqueous polyurethane or polyurethane-urea dispersion, containing as disperse phase a polymer A) which after drying is semicrystalline or crystalline and has a melting temperature in a range from 30 to 80° C. and an enthalpy of fusion of ≥35 J/g,

II. at least one plasticizer resin B),

III. at least one tackifier resin C),

wherein the formulation, based on the total formulation solids, comprises

60%-90% by weight of polymer A),

5%-20% by weight of plasticizer resin B) and

5%-20% by weight of tackifier resin C), and

wherein the formulation comprises from 40% to 85% by weight of water.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the aqueous polyurethane or polyurethane-urea dispersion does not contain an external emulsifier.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the formulation, based on the total formulation solids, comprises

66%-85% by weight of polymer A),

8%-18% by weight of plasticizer resin B) and

7%-16% by weight of tackifier resin C).

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the formulation, based on the total formulation solids, comprises

70%-81% by weight of polymer A),

10%-16% by weight of plasticizer resin B) and

9%-14% by weight of tackifier resin C).

5. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the formulation, based on the total formulation solids, comprises

72%-80% by weight of polymer A),

10%-15.5% by weight of plasticizer resin B) and

10%-12.5% by weight of tackifier resin C).

6. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the polymer A), after drying, is semicrystalline or crystalline and has a melting temperature in the range from 35° C. to 80° C.

7. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the polymer A), after drying, is semicrystalline or crystalline and has an enthalpy of fusion of ≥35 J/g.

8. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the plasticizer B) comprises non-volatile, low molecular weight compounds bearing polar groups.

9. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the tackifier resin C) comprises a rosin, and/or a modified rosins.
