The present invention also relates to the use of these copolymers A and curable mixtures B, C, D and E as adhesive, sealing and coating compositions which are self-curable with atmospheric humidity and to adhesive, sealing and coating compositions which are self-curable with atmospheric humidity and contain the copolymers A or the curable mixtures B, C, D or E.
The earlier German Application P 3913168 discloses copolymers based on alkyl acrylates and/or methacrylates with free isocyanate groups, which are recommended as adhesives, coating and sealing compositions.
However, these copolymers are not entirely satisfactory because their intrinsically good flow properties are still in need of further improvement.
Although improvement in the flow properties by using conventional mercaptan regulators is described, the use thereof results in inadequate crosslinking on exposure to humidity, especially when high regulator concentrations are required to reduce the molecular weight.
Copolymers with free isocyanate groups plus free anhydride groups are described in DE-A 38 04 589.
However, these copolymers are suitable only as binder components in two-component coating and sealing compositions which also contain organic polyhydroxy compounds.
DE-A 3 601 272 discloses adhesives composed of at least diisocyanates and anhydride-containing copolymers with active hydrogen. These adhesives are, by their nature, recommended only as two-component adhesives because mixing the components to give a one-component adhesive would result in immediate reaction of the activated copolymers with the isocyanates. In addition, this reaction means that the pot life is inadequate owing to rapid gelling on use of the adhesive. Furthermore, this reaction leads to blistering, because of early decarboxylation, and too high a surface tackiness of the adhesives in the cured state.
Isocyanate-containing copolymers composed of hydroxyl-containing acrylates and di- or polyisocyanates are described in DE-A 29 15 864 as curable one-component sealants. The disadvantages are both the decrease in elasticity after prolonged storage, owing to the high density of crosslinking in the cured sealing materials, and the blistering caused by decarboxylation.
DE-A 37 10 963 discloses anhydride-containing copolymers with di- or polyaldimines and/or -ketimines, which are recommended as binder combinations curable by humidity. However, these binders have poor flow properties and tend to surface tackiness in the cured state.
It is an object of the present invention to provide novel copolymers and mixtures of such copolymers with crosslinkers, which have improved use properties and can be used, in particular, as adhesive, sealing and coating compositions which are self-curable with atmospheric humidity.
We have found that this object is achieved by the copolymers A and mixtures B, C, D and E defined in the introduction, and the use thereof as adhesive, sealing and coating compositions which are self-curable with atmospheric humidity.

The copolymers A, B1, C1, C2, D1 and E1 are prepared by free radical polymerization in bulk or solution, the latter being preferred.
The solvents which are usually employed are ethers such as tetrahydrofuran and dioxane, esters such as ethyl, propyl and n-butyl acetates, glycol ether acetates such as methyl-, ethyl- and butylglycol acetate, ketones such as acetone and cyclohexanone, dialkylamides such as dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide and N-methylpyrrolidone, aromatic compounds such as toluene and xylenes, aliphatic hydrocarbons such as isooctane and chlorohydrocarbons such as tert-butyl chloride.
It is likewise possible to use a plasticizer as polymerization solvent.
Initiators which can be employed for the free radical polymerization are the conventional peroxo or azo compounds, also in combination with reducing agents, expediently in amounts of from 0.05 to 10% of the weight of the monomers.
Preferred initiators are dibenzoyl peroxide, tert-butyl perpivalate, tert-butyl 2-ethylperhexanoate, di-tert-butyl peroxide, tert-butyl hydroperoxide, cumene hydroperoxide, dilauryl peroxide, tert-butyl peroxymaleate, tert-butyl peroxybenzoate, dicumyl peroxide, didecanoyl peroxide, methyl ethyl ketone peroxide, 2,2'-azobis(2,4-dimethylvaleronitrile), 2,2'-azobis(2,3-dimethylbutyronitrile) and 2,2'-azobisisobutyronitrile.

Preferred reducing agents are hydrazine, sodium sulfite, sodium bisulfite, potassium sulfite, potassium bisulfite, ammonium sulfite and ammonium bisulfite, which are employed in amounts of from 0.005 to 2% by weight.
To control the molecular mass it is preferable to add conventional regulators to the copolymers which contain no Si regulators Va or Vb.

The latter are preferably employed in amounts of from 0.2 to 6% by weight, particularly preferably from 0.5 to 2% by weight. When these regulators and/or hydroxyl-containing initiators are used, the amount of the alcoholic compounds VII is reduced correspondingly.
The polymerization is generally carried out at from 0.degree. to 200.degree. C., preferably at 60.degree. to 130.degree. C.
The reaction is expediently carried out under atmospheric pressure but it is also possible to use reduced or slightly elevated pressure, ie. in the approximate range from 0.5 to 5 bar.
The reactions normally take from 1 to 30, usually 3 to 6 hours.
The procedure for the solution polymerization is usually such that a portion of the solvent is heated, with or without desiccants and/or a portion of the monomers III, to the reaction temperature and the monomer mixture, the regulator and the initiator, and the remainder of the solvent, are added continuously, preferably simultaneously but separately.
In the case of bulk polymerization, generally a portion of the polymerization mixture is introduced first and heated to the polymerization temperature, after which the remainder is added continuously.
After the addition is complete, the polymerization is continued, with or without the addition of further amounts of initiator, for about 2 hours in order to reduce the residual monomer content. However, residual monomers can also be removed by distillation of the solvent.
In order to prevent premature crosslinking of the isocyanate groups during the polymerization or during storage, the polymerization medium is expediently virtually anhydrous, ie. has a water content below 500 ppm, preferably below 100 ppm. This is generally achieved by using desiccants, also in combination with Lewis acids, which increase the rate of hydrolysis of the desiccants.
Preferred desiccants are tetraalkoxysilanes such as tetraethoxysilane, trialkyl orthoformates such as triethyl orthoformate, and isocyanates such as phenyl isocyanate.
The polymerization conditions are preferably chosen in a conventional manner so that the degree of polymerization of the copolymers A, B1 and D1 according to the invention corresponds to a K value of from 7 to 150, particularly 10 to 100 and especially 17 to 60. Preferred K values are from 10 to 150, in particular from 20 to 90 for the copolymers C1 and from 8 to 60, in particular from 10 to 40 for the copolymers C2. Preferred K values for the copolymers E1 are from 8 to 80, especially 10 to 50 and in particular 12 to 35.
The K values are relative viscosities determined by a method similar to DIN 53726 at 25.degree. C. The K values of copolymers B1 containing Si regulators and of copolymers D1 are measured in toluene, while those for the other copolymers are determined in tetrahydrofuran.

C., preferably at 20.degree. to 150.degree. C. and, in particular, at 60.degree. to 120.degree. C.
To prepare the curable mixtures C according to the invention, initially the hydroxyl-containing copolymers C2 are reacted with the compounds VI by adding the compounds VI dropwise to the copolymers C2. The reaction can likewise be carried out in solution. Preferred solvents are toluene, ethyl acetate and methyl ethyl ketone.

The reaction is generally carried out at from 20.degree. to 150.degree. C., preferably at 80.degree. to 130.degree. C.
The reactions normally take from 2 to 30, usually 4 to 10, hours.
It is also possible to react the compounds VI, together with urethanization catalysts, with the copolymers C2 even during the preparation thereof, which saves one process step.

To prepare the curable mixtures D according to the invention, the compounds VIII are added to the solvent-containing copolymers D1 at from 0.degree. to 150.degree. C., preferably at 40.degree. to 120.degree. C. In the case of the solvent-free copolymers D1, this is preferably carried out at from 0.degree. to 200.degree. C., preferably 20.degree. to 150.degree. C. and, in particular, 60.degree. to 120.degree. C.
To prepare the curable mixtures E according to the invention, initially the hydroxyl-containing copolymers E1 are reacted with the compounds VI in the same way as the copolymers C2 with the compounds VI. The product of the reaction of the copolymers E1 and the compounds VI is then mixed at from 0.degree. to 150.degree. C., preferably 20.degree. to 70.degree. C., with the compounds VIII, with the amounts expediently being such that there is preferably from 0.2 to 1.3, particularly preferably 0.5 to 1, imine group in the compounds VIII per isocyanate group in the product.
In order to increase the rate of hydrolysis of the aldimines and ketimines in the presence of humidity, it is possible also to add to the mixtures E preferably organic carboxylic acids or arylsulfonic acids. Preferred aliphatic carboxylic acids are formic, acetic and mono-, di- and trichloroacetic acid. Aromatic carboxylic acids such as mono-, di- and trichlorobenzoic acid and salicylic acid are particularly preferred, very especially benzoic acid. Also suitable are arylsulfonic acids such as xylenesulfonic acid and, especially toluenesulfonic acid, mixtures thereof being preferred.
In order to improve the homogenization of the mixtures according to the invention, it is also possible for the copolymers and the crosslinkers initially to be dissolved in the anhydrous solvent and to remove the solvent from these solutions again by distillation.
The copolymers A and the curable mixtures B, C, D and E according to the invention can be used as adhesive, sealing and coating compositions which are self-curable with atmospheric humidity and, as such, are preferably employed without solvent.
The adhesive, sealing and coating compositions which are self-curable with atmospheric humidity can also contain conventional additives, generally in amounts of up to 400% of the weight of the curable mixtures.
Examples of conventional additives are plasticizers, fillers, reinforcing agents, curing accelerators and solvents.
Preferred plasticizers for reducing the glass transition temperature and the viscosity are phthalic esters such as diethyl, di-n-butyl, di-isoheptyl, di-2-ethylhexyl and butyl benzyl phthalates, adipic esters such as di-2-ethylhexyl and di-iso-octyl adipates, sebacic esters such as di-2-ethylhexyl and dioctyl sebacates, polyalkylene glycol esters such as di- and triethylene glycol dibenzoate, phosphoric esters such as tri-n-butyl, tri-isobutyl and tri(.beta.-chloroethyl) phosphates, chlorohydrocarbons, alkyldiphenyls and partially hydrogenated terphenyls.
The plasticizers are usually employed in amounts of from 1 to 20% by weight.
Preferred fillers and reinforcing agents are hydrophobized calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate, talc, titanium dioxide, barium sulfate, alumina, hydrophobized silica, metal powders such as zinc and iron powders, bentonite, kaolin and soot, which are generally employed in amounts of up to 300% by weight, preferably up to 100% by weight.
The fillers are usually added as fine particles with an average particle size of, preferably, from 0.01 to 200 .mu.m, in particular 0.01 to 10 .mu.m.
Preferred curing accelerators for the reaction of the free isocyanate groups are organometallic compounds such as bis(dodecanoyloxy)dibutyltin, bis(dodecanoyloxy)dioctyltin, tin octylate, manganese octylate and monobutyltin oxide, amines such as N,N-dimethylcyclohexylamine, tri-n-butylamine, triethylenediamine, N,N-dimethylbenzylamine and 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene and the salts thereof, eg. the hydrochlorides.
The curing accelerators are generally used in amounts of from 0.01 to 10% by weight.
Solvents are preferably added when the copolymers have been prepared by bulk polymerization or the solvent has been removed after the solvent polymerization together with the residual monomers by distillation. Preferred solvents for improving the processability and for lowering the viscosity are those which were used for the polymerization, for example aromatic hydrocarbons such as toluene and xylene and ketones such as acetone and methyl ethyl ketone, which are usually employed in amounts of up to 50% by weight.
To reduce the viscosity of solvent-free compositions, the latter can be heated up to 150.degree. C., preferably up to 100.degree. C., and used in the heated state, which achieves strong initial adhesion.
The compositions according to the invention can be produced in the form of one-component systems by mixing all the constituents together and storing them ready for use in a sealed container. However, they can also be used as two-component systems in which the copolymers and the crosslinkers are stored separately and are stirred together only shortly before use.
In the case of a one-component system, particular care must be taken to exclude water in order to avoid premature curing.
In the case of a two-component system, the presence of small traces of water in the starting materials and additives is less critical, which facilitates both the processing of the starting materials and the storage of the two-component system.
The copolymers A and curable mixtures B, C, D and E according to the invention are used as adhesive, sealing and coating compositions which are self-curable with atmospheric humidity.
As such, they are suitable for bonding organic and inorganic materials and for sealing and for coating such materials such as metal, wood, glass, ceramics, stone, concrete, plastics, textiles, leather, board and paper.
The compositions according to the invention cure on exposure to atmospheric humidity within a short time and, in the cured state, display increased elasticity and extensibility but no surface tackiness. In addition, in the cured state they show an increased adhesion to substrates such as aluminum, wood, glass, ceramics, concrete, brickwork and most plastics.

EXAMPLES A/1 TO A/19
A) Preparation of copolymers A
A solution of 2 g (0.2% by weight) of triethyl orthoformate in 200 g (20% by weight) of toluene was heated to 100.degree. C. and then, over the course of 4 hours, the following were added simultaneously, but separately:

C., and of copolymers A/15 and A/16 heated to 80.degree. C., and 300 g (74.6% by weight) of this composition were poured in the heated state into a plastic capsule which was then sealed air-tight. After storage for 2 weeks, the capsule was heated to 80.degree. C., after which the composition was removed and applied as a smooth layer 0.5 mm thick on cotton fabric. Various materials were then placed thereon under pressure. After storage at room temperature for 8 days, the cotton fabric was pulled off, and the peel strength was measured as the force necessary to separate the materials again.
