Solution Overview

Problem

One-pack moisture-curing urethane compositions used in vehicle manufacturing face challenges in adhering glass adherends to poorly adhesive coated surfaces without surface treatment, while also requiring high flow resistance, heat-resistant adhesiveness, and breaking elongation.

Innovation Solution

A one-pack moisture-curing composition comprising a urethane prepolymer with isocyanate groups, carbon black, an adhesiveness-imparting agent obtained from reacting diisocyanate and trimethylolpropane or glycerin, a first catalyst from 1,3-diacetoxy-1,1,3,3-tetrabutyldistannoxane and ethyl silicate, and a second catalyst including dimorpholinodiethylether, with specific mass ratios to ensure excellent adhesiveness and performance characteristics.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If conventional one-pack moisture-curing urethane compositions are used, then the composition can be applied without primer, but the adhesiveness to poorly adhesive coated surfaces is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveapplication without primerVSAvoidadhesiveness to coated surface
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The patent modifies the chemical composition parameters by introducing specific adhesiveness-imparting agents (polyisocyanates with NCO content of 10-30% and compounds with active hydrogen such as carboxylic acids, alcohols, or amines) in controlled amounts (0.1-5 parts by mass per 100 parts urethane prepolymer). This compositional parameter change enables direct adhesion to poorly adhesive coated surfaces while maintaining the one-pack moisture-curing formulation simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Strength

If adhesiveness-imparting agents are added to improve adhesion to coated surfaces, then adhesiveness improves, but flow resistance deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveadhesivenessVSAvoidflow resistance
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The patent precisely controls the quantity parameters of adhesiveness-imparting agents, limiting polyisocyanates to 0.1-5 parts by mass and compounds with active hydrogen to 0.1-3 parts by mass per 100 parts urethane prepolymer. This quantitative control maintains adequate flow resistance while achieving sufficient adhesiveness to coated surfaces.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a composite formulation combining urethane prepolymer with specifically selected adhesiveness-imparting agents (polyisocyanates and compounds with active hydrogen). This composite material approach synergistically improves adhesiveness while the controlled composition maintains flow resistance characteristics.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

3Strength

If the composition is formulated for high adhesiveness, then adhesion improves, but heat-resistant adhesiveness and breaking elongation are compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveadhesivenessVSAvoidheat-resistant adhesiveness and breaking elongation
Core Design Contradiction:
StrengthVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent optimizes multiple compositional parameters simultaneously: urethane prepolymer with specific NCO content (1.5-3.0%), controlled amounts of adhesiveness-imparting agents (polyisocyanates 0.1-5 parts, compounds with active hydrogen 0.1-3 parts), and carbon black content (10-120 parts). This multi-parameter optimization achieves high adhesiveness while maintaining heat-resistant adhesiveness and breaking elongation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent formulates a composite material system integrating urethane prepolymer, adhesiveness-imparting agents, and carbon black. This composite structure provides both high adhesiveness to coated surfaces and maintained thermal stability and elasticity through the synergistic combination of components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials
