Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of two-component polyurethane adhesive compositions. Background Art
[0002] Two-component polyurethane adhesives offer a wide variety of attachment means. In the automotive industry, their use is increasing, in part due to the desire to reduce the weight attributed to conventional attachment means such as rivets.
[0003] Two-component polyurethanes include an isocyanate component and a polyol component. The isocyanate component includes at least one isocyanate-terminated molecule, and the polyol component includes at least one polyol. Just before use, the two components are mixed, and the polyol OH groups are reacted with the NCO groups of the isocyanate-terminated molecules to form a higher molecular weight polyurethane, which can be linear or branched (i.e. cross-linked). Once the components are mixed and the molecular weight begins to increase, the viscosity of the mixture also increases. There is a limited time in which the adhesive mixture has a viscosity that allows the manipulation of the adhesive mixture and the parts bonded using the mixture. The time from mixing to the defined degree of cure (and / or viscosity) is referred to as "working time". For some applications, it is desirable to have an extended working time.

At room temperature, 568 g of NJ-330 was added to a four-necked flask equipped with a mechanical stirring rod and a thermometer. NJ-300 was dried at 120° C. for 1 hour under reduced pressure. The NJ-300 was cooled to 80° C., 712 g of MDI-50 was added to the flask, and the mixture was reacted at 80° C. for 2 hours under reduced pressure. The material was cooled to below 30° C. The vacuum was broken under nitrogen, and the prepolymer was stored sealed until use. The prepolymer was prepared with an excess of isocyanate, resulting in a prepolymer that was mainly NCO-terminated.
[0264] To prepare component A, talc and fumed silica were dried in an oven at 120°C for 24 hours or more, using the amounts listed in Table 2, until the moisture content was less than 300 ppm. The prepolymer was added to a 2 1 planetary mixer and mixed together for 10 minutes. The dried talc and silica were added and stirring was continued at room temperature for another 30 minutes. The vacuum was then broken under nitrogen and component A was packaged in a sealed box for storage until use.
[0265] A detailed description of the preparation of component A is provided for Example 6 of the present invention. Solid talc and CAB-O-SIL TS-720 are dried in a 120° C. oven for at least 24 hours until the moisture content is less than 300 ppm. 640 g of prepolymer, 345 g of talc and 15 g of CAB-O-SIL are added to a 21 planetary mixer, having a red color. After mixing at room temperature for 30 minutes, the vacuum is broken with nitrogen, and the adhesive component can be filled in a suitable packaging size.
[0266] Component B (polyol)
[0267] To prepare component B (polyol), talc and CAB-O-SIL TS-720 were dried in an oven at 120°C for 24 hours or more, using the amounts listed in Table 2, until the moisture content was less than 300 ppm. Molecular sieves were used to dry the polyol until the moisture content was less than 300 ppm. The dry ingredients were mixed with the polyol and stirring was continued for 30 minutes. Molecular sieves and Fomrez UL-29 were added and stirring was continued for an additional 30 minutes. The vacuum was broken under nitrogen and component B was filled in a sealed box until use.
[0268] Store component A and component B separately until use. Just before use, mix the components in a 1:1 volume ratio and perform the following test.
[0269] Working hours
[0270] The working time is the time for the rheological viscosity to reach 900 Pas at a shear rate of 0.25 / s, 500 Pas at a shear rate of 1 / s and 300 Pas at a shear rate of 2.5 / s simultaneously. The results are listed in Table 2.
[0271] Rheological viscosity
[0272] Rheological viscosity was measured 60 minutes after mixing Part A and Part B using a TA Rheometer with 25 mm parallel plates and 0.2 mm gap.
[0273] The results are listed in Table 2.
[0274] Lap shear strength
[0275] Lap shear strength is measured using DIN EN 1465, with a bond area of 250 mm 2 (10X 25mm), adhesive layer thickness was 1mm, and electro-coated steel was used for both substrates. All surfaces were prepared by cleaning with isopropyl alcohol before applying the adhesive. The curing conditions were 7 days at 23°C and 50% RH. During the test, the shear samples were stretched at 5mm / min. The results are listed in Table 2.
[0276] Tensile properties
[0277] Tensile strength, elastic modulus and elongation were measured according to DIN EN ISO 527-2; curing conditions: 7 days at 23° C., 50% RH; during the test, the tensile specimen was pulled at 50 mm / min. The results are listed in Table 2.
