Abstract

The present claims relate to aqueous dispersion adhesives comprising at least one polyurethane dispersion and at least one carbodiimide having the general formula R′—(—N═C═N—R—) m —R″, in which m corresponds to an integer from 1 to 500, R=arylene and/or C 7 -C 11 aralkylene, R′═R—NCO, and R″═—NCO, where in R′, independently of one another, R 1 and R 2 are identical or different and represent a C 1 -C 6 alkyl, C 6 -C 10 cycloalkyl or C 7 -C 18 aralkyl radical.

Claims (12)

1. Aqueous dispersion adhesives comprising at least one polyurethane dispersion and at least one carbodiimide of the formulae (II), (III) and/or (IV)

where R′″═C 1 -C 18 alkylene, C 5 -C 18 cycloalkylene, arylene and/or C 7 -C 18 aralkylene and j within the molecule is identical or different and denotes 1 to 5, and p can be =0 to 500,

where x=1 to 500.

2. The aqueous dispersion adhesives according to claim 1 , wherein the carbodiimide is surface-deactivated by reaction with at least one amine.

3. The aqueous dispersion adhesives according to claim 1 , wherein the carbodiimide is present in the form of an aqueous dispersion.

4. The aqueous dispersion adhesives according to claim 1 , wherein the polyurethane dispersion is substantially an aqueous dispersion.

5. The aqueous dispersion adhesives according to claim 1 , wherein the polyurethane dispersion comprises aqueous polyurethanes, ionic polyurethanes, non-ionic polyurethanes, and polyester polyurethanes which contain polar groups and/or contain solvent, which are based on aromatic and/or aliphatic isocyanates.

6. The aqueous dispersion adhesives according to claim 1 , further comprising stabilizers, emulsifiers, thickeners and/or defoamers.

7. A process for preparing the aqueous dispersion adhesives according to claim 1 , comprising:

incorporating into the polyurethane dispersion with stirring said carbodiimide of the formulae (II) to (IV).

8. A process for preparing furniture, textile and panels for automotive industries and/or footwear, comprising:

applying the aqueous dispersion adhesives according to claim 1 to the surface of the furniture, textile and panels for automotive industries and/or footwear.
