Abstract

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

Claims (21)

1. A method of adhesive bonding a foam substrate comprising 1) spraying an aqueous adhesive dispersion component and a coagulant component onto a first substrate to form an adhesive surface, wherein the aqueous adhesive dispersion component and the coagulant component are mixed in a spray jet and wherein the aqueous dispersion component coagulates in the spray jet, 2) applying a second substrate to the adhesive surface, and 3) forming an adhesive bond between the first substrate and the second substrate;

wherein at least one of the first substrate or the second substrate is a foam substrate;

wherein the aqueous adhesive dispersion component comprises a mixture of

a) an aqueous polyurethane or polyurethane-urea dispersion containing

I. a polymer A) formed from

I (i). at least one difunctional aliphatic polyester polyol having a molecular weight of 400 to 5000 g/mol,

I (ii). at least one mixture of hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) and 1-isocyanato-3,3,5-trimethyl-5-isocyanatomethylcyclohexane (IPDI), and

I (iii). at least one mixture of two or more aminic chain extenders, wherein at least one aminic chain extender bears an ionic group, and the polymer A) after drying is semicrystalline or crystalline with a glass transition at a glass transition temperature Tg of between −65° C. and −40° C., and

b) an aqueous polyurethane or polyurethane-urea dispersion which differs from dispersion a) and contains

II. a polymer B) formed from

II (i). at least one difunctional aromatic polyester polyol having a molecular weight of 400 to 5000 g/mol,

II (ii). at least one difunctional polyol component having a molecular weight of 62 to 399,

II (iii). at least one aliphatic diisocyanate and

II (iv). at least one aminic chain extender having an ionic group,

wherein the polymer B) after drying is amorphous with a glass transition at a glass transition temperature Tg of between −15° C. and +10° C.;

and wherein the mixture of dispersion a) and dispersion b) contains 34.8% to 90.2% by weight of polymer A) and 9.8% to 65.2% by weight of polymer B), based on a sum total of polymers A) and B).

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the mixture of dispersion a) and dispersion b) contains 44.4% to 87.8% by weight of polymer A) and 12.2% to 55.6% by weight of polymer B).

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the mixture of dispersion a) and dispersion b) contains 54.5% to 81.9% by weight of polymer A) and 18.1% to 45.5% by weight of polymer B).

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein component a) I(ii). is a mixture of HDI and IPDI with an HDI:IPDI molar ratio of between 9:1 and 1:9.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein component a) I(ii). is a mixture of HDI and IPDI with an HDI:IPDI molar ratio of between 3:1 and 1:3.

6. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein component a) I(iii). is a mixture of diethanolamine and a sodium salt of N-(2-aminoethyl)-2-aminoethanesulfonic acid.
