Neutral-coloured 1K polyurethane adhesive
A polyurethane prepolymer obtainable by reacting at least one aromatic polyisocyanate having symmetrical substitution of NCO groups and at least one aromatic polyisocyanate having asymmetric substitution of NCO groups, the fraction of aromatic polyisocyanate having symmetrical substitution of NCO groups being higher than the fraction of polyisocyanate having asymmetric substitution of NCO groups, and at least one polyol having an OH functionality of more than 2.5 and at least one polyol having an OH functionality of less than 2.5.
1. A polyurethane prepolymer comprising at least one aromatic polyisocyanate having symmetrical substitution of NCO groups and at least one aromatic polyisocyanate having asymmetric substitution of NCO groups in a weight ratio of 6:1 to 1.5:1, and at least one polyol having an OH functionality of more than 2.5 and an OH number of 250 to 600 and at least one polyol having an OH functionality of less than 2.5.
2. The prepolymer of claim 1 , comprising 4,4′-diphenylmethane diisocyanate.
3. The prepolymer of claim 1 , comprising 2,4′-diphenylmethane diisocyanate.
4. The prepolymer of claim 1 , comprising as the polyol having an OH functionality of more than 2.5 a polyol having a molecular weight of 1000 or less.
5. The prepolymer of claim 1 , comprising the polyol having a functionality of more than 2.5 in an amount of from 0.5% to 10% by weight, based on the total amount of polyurethane prepolymer.
6. The prepolymer of claim 1 , comprising as the polyol having an OH functionality of less than 2.5 a polyol having a molecular weight of 500 or more.
7. An adhesive comprising the polyurethane prepolymer of claim 1 .
8. A process for preparing a polyurethane prepolymer, in which at least one aromatic polyisocyanate having symmetrical substitution of NCO groups and at least one aromatic polyisocyanate having asymmetric substitution of NOO groups in a weight ratio of 6:1 to 1.5:1 and at least one polyol having an OH functionality of more than 2.5 and an OH number of 250 to 600 and at least one polyol having an OH functionality of 2.5 or less are reacted with one another.
9. The process of claim 8 , wherein first the polyols are mixed and then the isocyanates are added in the form of a mixture.
