The invention relates to aqueous adhesives based on aqueous polyurethane or polyurethane-urea dispersions comprising pentamethylene diisocyanate (PDI), to a process for the preparation thereof, and also to the use of the dispersion adhesives for producing adhesive composites.
Adhesives based on aqueous polyurethane dispersions have become established worldwide in demanding industrial applications, for example in the case of shoe manufacturing, the bonding of parts for motor vehicle interiors, sheet lamination or bonding of textile substrates. The production of aqueous polyurethane or polyurethane-polyurea dispersions is known.
In the case of the use of such dispersions for bonding substrates, this is usually carried out after the heat-activation process. In this case, the dispersion is applied to the substrate and, after completion of evaporation of the water, the adhesive layer is activated by heating (e.g. using an infrared radiator) and melting of the semicrystalline polymer, and is converted into an adhesive state. The temperature at which the adhesive film is sticky is referred to as the activation temperature. Therefore, the present invention also relates to a process for adhesive bonding of substrates in which a preparation according to the invention for producing an adhesive layer is applied to the substrate(s) to be bonded; after completion of evaporation of the water the adhesive layer thus obtained is activated by heating to at least the activation temperature of the layer and melting of the semicrystalline polymer and the substrate(s) are then joined. It is also possible, after generating the adhesive layer in one step, to join the substrates using high pressing pressures and at the same time to activate the adhesive layer by heating to at least the activation temperature, for example in heatable presses.
Short drying times at lowest possible temperatures and low activation temperatures would enable the most efficient, cost-effective and energy-sparing process possible.
In industrial shoe manufacturing, very many are worked by hand. After drying and heat activation of the adhesive, the sole and the upper are firstly assembled by hand and then pressed. More requirements of the adhesive arise therefrom: pronounced stickiness in the activated state (high tack), maintenance of the stickiness over a period of several minutes, high strength at the lowest possible pressing pressures and good initial strength.
Adhesives based on aqueous polyurethane or polyurethane-polyurea dispersions are described by way of example in U.S. Pat. No. 4,870,129. These comprise as isocyanates a mixture of 1-isocyanato-3,3,5-trimethyl-5-isocyanatomethylcyclohexane (isophorone diisocyanate, IPDI) and hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) and are suitable in principle for application of the heat activation process.
A disadvantage of these adhesives, however, is that although they provide very good adhesive composites at activation temperatures around 70° C., at low activation temperatures around 50° C. they exhibit unsatisfactory tack values for shoe manufacturing, wherein both the strength and the duration of the stickiness are insufficient. Tack refers to the ability of a material to form an appreciable adhesion at low contact pressure and short contact time.
Adhesives based on aqueous polyurethane-polyurea dispersions comprising only hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) as isocyanate component have improved tack values after activation at low temperatures, but they lose this property on storage of the dispersion at low temperatures below 10° C.
The object of the present invention consisted of providing dispersion adhesives based on aqueous polyurethane or polyurethane-urea dispersions, which meet the requirements specified for industrial shoe manufacturing, and have comparably good tack values with simultaneous drying and activation at low temperatures around 50° C. in comparison with adhesives based on purely hexamethylene diisocyanate, but where these values should be obtained even after storage of the dispersions at low temperatures below 10° C. This requirement is of major relevance in this respect since dispersion adhesives in winter and in colder regions are often transported and stored at these temperatures.
It could be shown that semicrystalline adhesives based on aqueous polyurethane or polyurethane-polyurea dispersions, the polymers of which comprise as isocyanate component only hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI), pentamethylene diisocyanate (PDI) or mixtures of HDI and PDI, which meet the requirements for industrial shoe manufacturing and with simultaneous drying and activation at low temperatures around 50° C., have outstanding tack values. It has however been found that, completely surprisingly, that this property after cold storage at temperatures between 3° C. and 10° C. is lost if the HDI content is >50 mol %, but not at a PDI content of at least 50 mol %.

Auflage [Expansion and Supplementary Volumes for the 4th Edition], Volume E20, H. Bartl and J. Falbe, Stuttgart, N.Y., Thieme 1987, p. 1671-1682). Preference is given to the melt emulsification, prepolymer mixing and the acetone methods. Particular preference is given to the acetone method. The application and performance of the acetone method is known from the prior art and to those skilled in the art from EP 0 232 778 for example.

In this case, preference is given to polyisocyanate compounds which are emulsifiable in water. These compounds are described, e.g. in EP-A 0 206 059, DE-A 31 12 117 or DE-A 100 24 624. The polyisocyanate compounds are used in an amount of 0.1 to 20% by weight, preferably 0.5 to 10% by weight, particularly preferably 1.5 to 6% by weight, based on the aqueous dispersion.
The carbodiimide crosslinkers are preferably carbodiimides which are dispersed, emulsified or dissolved in water or are dispersible, emulsifiable and/or soluble in water.
Preference is given to crosslinkers containing carbodiimide structures comprising an average of 3 to 20 and particularly preferably 4 to 8 carbodiimide structural units per molecule.
Such carbodiimide crosslinkers can be obtained, for example, by carbodiimidization of diisocyanates such as e.g. tetramethylene diisocyanate, methylpentamethylene diisocyanate, hexamethylene diisocyanate, dodecamethylene diisocyanate, 1,4-diisocyanatocyclohexane, 1-isocyanato-3,3,5-trimethyl-5-isocyanatomethylcyclohexane, 4,4′-diisocyanatodicyclohexylmethane, 4,4′-diisocyanatodicyclohexylpropane-(2,2), 1,4-diisocyanatobenzene, 2,4-diisocyanatotoluene, 2,6-diisocyanatotoluene, 4,4′-diisocyanatodiphenylmethane, 2,2′- and 2,4′-diisocyanatodiphenylmethane, tetramethylxylylene diisocyanate, p-xylylene diisocyanate, p-isopropylidene diisocyanate, optionally with concomitant use of monofunctional isocyanates such as e.g. stearyl isocyanate, phenyl isocyanate, butyl isocyanate, hexyl isocyanate or/and higher-functionality isocyanates such as trimers, uretdiones, allophanates, biurets of the exemplary diisocyanates mentioned and subsequent, simultaneous or even prior reaction with hydrophilizing components, e.g. mono- or difunctional polyethers based on ethylene oxide polymers or ethylene oxide/propylene oxide copolymers started with alcohols or amines.

Particular preference is given to the use for bonding soles composed of these materials, especially those based on polyvinyl chloride, especially plasticizer-containing polyvinyl chloride or of polyethylene vinyl acetate or polyurethane elastomer foam, to shoe uppers composed of leather or synthetic leather.
Furthermore, the adhesives according to the invention are particularly suitable for bonding films based on polyvinyl chloride or plasticizer-containing polyvinyl chloride to wood.
The adhesives according to the invention can be processed by the known methods of adhesives technology with respect to the processing of aqueous dispersion adhesives. The adhesives according to the invention are particularly suitable for bonding substrates by the heat-activation method. In this case, the dispersion is applied to the substrate and, after completion of evaporation of the water, the adhesive layer is activated by heating, e.g. using an infrared radiator, and is converted into an adhesive state. The temperature at which the adhesive film is sticky is referred to as the activation temperature. In order to achieve a sufficiently rapid melting of the crystalline or semicrystalline segments in the adhesive polymer, an activation temperature significantly above the melting temperature is generally required.
Surprisingly, the adhesive dispersions according to the invention, in a process with simultaneous drying and activation at low temperatures in the range of 50° C., have improved tack values compared to the prior art. This advantage is not lost, even on cold storage at temperatures between 3° C. and 10° C., such as they frequently occur during transport and storage of the dispersions. Thus, they enable a maximally efficient, cost-effective and energy-saving adhesive process. The present invention likewise relates to the use of the adhesive dispersions according to the invention for producing adhesive composites by a process with simultaneous drying and activation at low temperatures in the range of 50° C.
An adhesive composite comprising substrates and sheetlike structures bonded using the dispersions according to the invention, is also a subject matter of the present application.
The melting temperature and the enthalpy of fusion of the dried polymer were determined by means of Differential Scanning calorimetry (DSC):
In each case, dried polymer films were produced by pouring the dispersions into teflon bowls with subsequent seven-day drying at room temperature. From these films, pieces with a mass of 10 mg were cut out and placed in DSC crucibles which were then sealed with lids in the crucible sealing press. The crucibles were placed at RT in the measuring cell of the calorimeter and cooled to −100° C. This is followed by three heatings in the temperature range of −100° C. to +150° C. The heating rate was 20 K/min, cooled between the first and second heating run at 320 K/min, between the second and third at 20 K/min. The thermal coupling of cooling block and measuring cell was effected by purging with nitrogen; a compressor cooled the measuring cell. To determine the melting temperature and enthalpy of fusion, third heating was evaluated. The instrument used was a Pyris Diamond DSC calorimeter from Perkin-Elmer.
Determination of the crystalline fractions of the polymer in the polymer droplets of the dispersions on storage at room temperature (14 days) and after 24 h cold storage at 5° C. by means of Differential Scanning calorimetry (DSC):
The dispersions are measured without preconditioning during the course of heating from +10° C. to +70° C. at a heating rate of 20K/min (cooling rate 320K/min) using a Pyris Diamond DSC calorimeter from Perkin-Elmer. For this purpose, 10 mg of the dispensed dispersions are weighed into pressure-tight Al crucibles (liquid capsules) which are sealed with a lid in a crucible sealing press. The thermal coupling of cooling block and measuring cell was effected by purging with nitrogen.
Tack measurement of SBR substrates (SBR=styrene-butadiene rubber) after storage of the dispersions at room temperature (14 days) or 5° C. (24 hours, then 1 day at room temperature):
Tack measurement is a method for performance assessment of the adhesion properties of adhesives. Tack refers to the ability of a material to form an appreciable adhesion at low contact pressure and short contact time.
To this end, 2 strips of halogenated SBR substrates (20×96 mm) are mechanically roughened, wiped with methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) and dried for 3 minutes at 50° C. in the circulation drying cabinet. Subsequently, the strips are pasted with adhesive on a 20×75 mm surface area, dried in circulating air for 3 minutes at 50° C. and activated.
After activation, 2 strips in each case are pressed to each other immediately, and also after 2 and after 4 minutes, for 10 seconds at 1 bar pressure and then the initial peel strength directly measured with a tensile tester (rate 100 mm/min.).

After removal of the acetone by distillation, a stable aqueous polyurethane-polyurea dispersion is obtained having a solids content of 50.0% by weight and an average particle size of the dispersion phase, determined by laser correlation, of 200 nm.
Melting temperature of the dried polymer=48.3° C., enthalpy of fusion=37.6 J/g
Crystalline fractions present in the polymer in the dispersion after cold storage (24 h at 5° C.), melting temperature 40.1° C., enthalpy of fusion 11.4 J/g.
After cold storage: Tack and peel strength drops significantly over a period of 4 minutes since the crystalline fractions in the polymer present in the dispersion on activation at 50° C. are not fully melted (see Tables 1 and 2)!
