Abstract

A moisture-curable hot-melt adhesive composition is disclosed. This moisture-curable hot-melt adhesive composition contains: a urethane prepolymer including a polymer chain, which includes a structural unit derived from a polyol and a structural unit derived from a polyisocyanate, and having two or more isocyanate groups; and a modified urethane prepolymer including a polymer chain, which includes a structural unit derived from a polyol and a structural unit derived from a polyisocyanate, and having one or more isocyanate groups modified with a castor oil monool.

Claims (20)

1. A moisture-curable hot-melt adhesive composition comprising:

a modified urethane prepolymer including a polymer chain, which includes a structural unit derived from a polyol and a structural unit derived from a polyisocyanate, and having one or more isocyanate groups modified with a castor oil monool; and

a urethane prepolymer, different than the modified urethane prepolymer, including a polymer chain, which includes a structural unit derived from a polyol and a structural unit derived from a polyisocyanate, having two or more isocyanate groups, and not having an isocyanate group modified with a castor oil monool.

2. The moisture-curable hot-melt adhesive composition according to claim 1 , wherein the polyol in the urethane prepolymer and the polyol in the modified urethane prepolymer include an amorphous polyester polyol and a crystalline polyester polyol.

3. The moisture-curable hot-melt adhesive composition according to claim 1 , wherein the moisture-curable hot-melt adhesive composition is used for pasting a plurality of adherends selected from cloths and paper to each other.

4. A bonded object comprising:

a first adherend;

a second adherend; and

an adhesive layer bonding the first adherend and the second adherend to each other, wherein

the adhesive layer contains a cured product of the moisture-curable hot-melt adhesive composition according to claim 1 .

5. A garment comprising the bonded object according to claim 4 , wherein the first adherend and the second adherend are cloths.

6. The moisture-curable hot-melt adhesive composition according to claim 1 , wherein the modified urethane prepolymer is a reaction product between the urethane prepolymer and the castor oil monool.

7. The moisture-curable hot-melt adhesive composition according to claim 1 , wherein the moisture-curable hot-melt adhesive composition is produced by a method including:

a step of reacting a polyol and a polyisocyanate with each other to obtain a urethane prepolymer including a polymer chain, which includes a structural unit derived from a polyol and a structural unit derived from a polyisocyanate, and having two or more isocyanate groups; and

a step of reacting a part of the obtained urethane prepolymer and a castor oil monool to modify a part of the urethane prepolymer to form the modified urethane prepolymer and to obtain a mixture of the urethane prepolymer and the modified urethane prepolymer.

8. The moisture-curable hot-melt adhesive composition according to claim 7 , wherein an amount of the castor oil monool reacted with the part of the obtained urethane prepolymer is 0.5 to 5% by mass on the basis of a total amount of the polyol in the urethane prepolymer.

9. The moisture-curable hot-melt adhesive composition according to claim 7 , wherein an equivalent ratio of the hydroxyl group (OH) in the castor oil monool to the isocyanate group (NCO) in the urethane prepolymer (an equivalent of the hydroxyl group (OH) in the castor oil monool/an equivalent of the isocyanate group (NCO) in the urethane prepolymer, OH/NCO) is 0.5 or less.

10. The moisture-curable hot-melt adhesive composition according to claim 9 , wherein an equivalent ratio of the hydroxyl group (OH) in the castor oil monool to the isocyanate group (NCO) in the urethane prepolymer (an equivalent of the hydroxyl group (OH) in the castor oil monool/an equivalent of the isocyanate group (NCO) in the urethane prepolymer, OH/NCO) is 0.01 or more.

11. The moisture-curable hot-melt adhesive composition according to claim 7 , wherein an equivalent ratio of the hydroxyl group (OH) in the castor oil monool to the isocyanate group (NCO) in the urethane prepolymer (an equivalent of the hydroxyl group (OH) in the castor oil monool/an equivalent of the isocyanate group (NCO) in the urethane prepolymer, OH/NCO) is 0.3 or less.

12. The moisture-curable hot-melt adhesive composition according to claim 7 , wherein an equivalent ratio of the hydroxyl group (OH) in the castor oil monool to the isocyanate group (NCO) in the urethane prepolymer (an equivalent of the hydroxyl group (OH) in the castor oil monool/an equivalent of the isocyanate group (NCO) in the urethane prepolymer, OH/NCO) is 0.15 or less.
