Description

Title of the invention: POLYURETHANE-BASED COMPOSITION FIELD OF INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to a polyurethane-based composition.

[0002] The invention also relates to the use of said composition for bonding materials in the field of structural assembly such as automotive, aeronautical and / or construction. TECHNOLOGICAL BACKGROUND

[0003] Epoxy resins are now widely used in industry and in high-tech sectors such as automotive and electronics. They are often used in the form of two main components: an epoxy resin and a hardener. It is the polymerization (or cross-linking) reaction between the two components once mixed that gives epoxy resins their strength and adhesion. These resins have very effective structural properties and are usable in many fields.

[0004] However, existing epoxy resins have the disadvantage of being rigid and brittle at low temperatures. Yet, in structural assembly in general, there is a need for sealant-type adhesives with structural properties that are also flexible enough to withstand movement and deformation over a wide temperature range. For example, in the automotive industry, it is important to have adhesives that can be used and have suitable properties across a range, for example, from -60°C to 50°C. Indeed, bonding near engines can be subjected to low temperatures in countries where the outside temperature is below freezing, and conversely, to high temperatures in hot countries. A similar situation exists in aeronautics, where the temperature variation between takeoff and the temperature at 1000 feet varies considerably.

[0005] There is therefore a need for new compositions which make it possible to overcome at least some of these drawbacks.

[0006] More particularly, there is a need for new compositions which have structural and flexible properties over a wide temperature range, even at low temperatures such as for example -60°C.

[0007] There is also a need for new compositions which possess structural properties over a wide temperature range, while maintaining good adhesive and rheological properties such as, for example, the absence of fining. DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION A. Composition

[0202] In the same reactor maintained under constant agitation and nitrogen, the NCO-terminated polyurethane obtained is then mixed with the other ingredients constituting the -NCO component, in the proportions indicated in Table 2 (expressed as % by weight of commercial product relative to the total weight of -NCO component). After homogenization of the mixture (30 to 120 minutes), the NCO group content is measured in the -NCO component respectively. The NCO group content in the -NCO component, expressed as a percentage by weight relative to the weight of the -NCO component (%NCO), is measured according to standard NF T52-132.

[0208] Creep test: The composition was extruded from a two-component cartridge (comprising the -OH component on one side, and the -NCO component on the other) at through a static mixer in order to vertically deposit a cord with a cross-section of 1 cm and a length of 10 to 20 cm.

[0209] It was visually checked whether the cord was fine or not (dimensional stability of the cord).

[0210] Pot life: This is estimated using a medical-grade wooden spatula or tongue depressor (150 mm x 19 mm x 1.5 mm, rounded ends) in a small dish according to the following protocol:

[0211] The components -OH and -NCO were previously stabilized at 23°C. 50 ml of the mixture of said components -NCO and -OH is weighed, in a volume ratio 1 / 1.

[0212] Pot life is the time after which no further glue transfer is observed on the wooden spatula (no more strings). It is assessed by periodically dipping a new spatula into at least 1 mm of the mixture, starting from 50% of the theoretical pot life.

[0213] Determination of the glass transition by dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA)

[0214] Preparation of specimen for analysis in DMA: The mastic is poured into a Teflon mold to prepare dumbbell-type specimens with the following dimensions: length 20 mm, width 4 mm and thickness 3 mm.

[0215] A sample is subjected to a torsional stress from -100°C to 100°C. The magnitude of the glass transition corresponds to the peak of tan 3 (ratio of loss and conservation moduli).

[0216] Intrinsic mechanical performance tests were carried out according to the standard ISO 527-2017).

[0217] The measurement of the elongation at break (or elongation at break) by tensile test was carried out according to the protocol described below.

[0218] The measurement principle consists of stretching a standard specimen made of the cross-linked composition in a tensile testing machine, the movable jaw of which moves at a constant speed of 10 mm / minute, and recording, at the moment of fracture of the specimen, the applied tensile stress (in MPa) as well as the elongation of the specimen (in %). The standard specimen is dumbbell-shaped, as illustrated in the international standard ISO 527. The narrow part of the dumbbell used has a length of 80 mm, a width of 10 mm, and a thickness of 4 mm.

[0219] The properties obtained from the prepared compositions are summarized in the following table:

[0220] Adhesive Composition A Adhesive Composition B Creep Test - 1 cm Bead No creep No creep Pot life (minutes) 20 50 Intrinsic Mechanical Performance Tests (23°C- 50%RH) Modulus at break (MPa) 16.8 27.0 Elongation at break (%) 9.9 1.4 Young's modulus (MPa) 984 2460 Intrinsic Mechanical Performance Tests (40°C- 50%RH) Modulus at break (MPa) 8.01 22.1 Elongation at break (%) 50.9 2.2 Young's modulus (MPa) 338 1480 Compositions A and B advantageously lead, after mixing of the OH and NCO components, to an absence of fineness after application, particularly in vertical position.

[0221]

[0222]

[0223] Furthermore, compositions A and B advantageously exhibit a high Young's modulus after crosslinking while exhibiting an elongation at break greater than 1% at 23°C (1.4% for composition B and 9.9% for composition A at 23°C) and even greater than 2% at 40°C (2.2% for composition B and 50.9% for composition A). Compositions A and B advantageously offer a good compromise between structural properties and flexibility over a wide temperature range (23°C, 40°C).
