Abstract

A method for producing a coating on a surface of a component part or a device, the method comprises obtaining a two component polyurethane system having a Component A and a Component B, Component A comprises a polyol and Component B comprises an isocyanate. Either Component A or Component B or both components comprise a filler. The method includes mixing Components A and B, to form a mixture comprising the polyol, the isocyanate, and the filler. The method includes applying the mixture to a surface of a component part or a device to form a coating from the mixture; and allowing the applied coating to cure. The steps of applying the coating and allowing the applied coating to cure are performed at an ambient temperature, and the viscosity of the mixture immediately after the mixing step is from 10 Pas to 500 Pas at 23° C.

Claims (28)

1. A method for producing a coating on a surface of a substrate, the method comprising:

a. mixing a Component A and a Component B to form a mixture, wherein Component A comprises a polyol and Component B comprises an isocyanate, wherein a ratio of isocyanate groups to polyol hydroxyl groups in the mixture is from 0.55 to 1.0, and wherein either Component A or Component B or both components comprise a filler;

b. applying the mixture as a liquid through a flat stream extruder to a surface of a substrate to form a coating; and

c. allowing the coating to cure,

wherein steps b) and c) are performed at an ambient temperature from 10° C. to 40° C., and the viscosity of the mixture immediately after step b) is from 10 Pas to 500 Pas at 23° C. when measured with a Brookfield RV viscometer at 10 rpm using an RV-7 spindle.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the density of the mixture of Components A and B is from 0.7 to three g/cm3 at 23° C.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the ratio of the isocyanate groups to the polyol hydroxyl groups in the mixture is from 0.6 to 1.0.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein Component A has a viscosity from 20 to 1000 Pas at 23° C. and Component B has a viscosity from 0.01 to 10 Pas at 23° C. when measured with a Brookfield RV viscometer.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the coating is applied by extrusion to form at least one from the group of a film and a bead, or wherein the coating is applied by a dispenser onto a surface which is vertical, slanted, curved, or overhead in relation to the dispenser.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the coating is a sound deadening coating and wherein the maximum loss factor at 2 nd order (100-150 Hz) is 0.1 or greater when measured at a temperature from 0° C. to 60° C. according to DIN EN ISO 6721:1996 procedure A with a coating thickness of three mm.

7. A method for producing a sound deadening coating on a surface of a substrate, the method comprising:

a. mixing a Component A and a Component B to form a mixture, wherein Component A comprises a polyol and Component B comprises a polymeric isocyanate based on MDI, and wherein either Component A or Component B or both components comprise a filler;

b. applying the mixture as a liquid through a flat stream extruder to a surface of a substrate to form a coating; and

c. allowing the coating to cure to produce a sound deadening coating,

wherein steps b) and c) are performed at an ambient temperature of from 10° C. to 40° C., and wherein the maximum loss factor at 2nd order (100-150 Hz) of the sound deadening coating is 0.1 or greater when measured at a temperature from 0° C. to 60° C. according to DIN EN ISO 6721:1996 procedure A for a sound deadening coating thickness of three mm.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the density of the mixture of Components A and B is higher than 1.7 g/cm3, and wherein the maximum loss factor at 2nd order (100-150 Hz) of the sound deadening coating is 0.1 or greater when measured at 25° C. according to DIN EN ISO 6721:1996 procedure A with a sound deadening coating thickness of three mm.

9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the density of the mixture of Components A and B is from 0.7 to 1.2 g/cm3 at 23° C., and the maximum loss factor of the sound deadening coating is 0.1 or greater when measured at a temperature from 7° C. to 40° C. when measured by the Oberst-measurement as described in procedure A of DIN EN ISO 6721-3:1996 with a sound deadening coating thickness of three mm and second order determination, or wherein the density of the mixture of Components A and B is from 1.8 to 2.2 g/cm3 at 23° C., and the maximum loss factor of the sound deadening coating is 0.1 or greater when measured at a temperature from 17° C. to 45° C. when measured by the Oberst-measurement as described in procedure A of DIN EN ISO 6721-3:1996 with a sound deadening coating thickness of three mm and second order determination.

10. The method of claim 7 , wherein Component A or Component B or both components comprises a polyurethane polymerization catalyst.

11. The method of claim 7 , wherein Component A comprises polyol, filler and a polyurethane polymerization catalyst, in the amounts of

from 20 vol. % to 60 vol. % the filler,

from greater than zero to 0.5 vol. % the polyurethane polymerization catalyst, and

the balance adding up to 100 vol % being polyol; and

Component B comprises from greater than zero to 100 vol. % an isocyanate, and wherein the vol. % are in relation to the total volume of the component.

12. The method of claim 7 , wherein the mixing ratio of Component A to Component B is from 1.1:1 to 8:1 by volume.

13. The method of claim 7 , wherein the mixing ratio of Component A to Component B is from 2:1 to 6:1 by volume.

14. The method of claim 7 , wherein the mixing ratio of Component A to Component B is from 3:1 to 5.5:1 by volume.

15. The method of claim 7 , wherein the mixing ratio of Component A to Component B is from 3:1 to 5:1 by volume.
