DESCRIPTION:

BRIEF SUMMARY
The present application was filed under the provisions of 35 USC 371 as the U.S. National Phase of PCT/EP93/03216 filed Nov. 16, 1993.


BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

This invention relates to a moisture-curing hot-melt adhesive, its production and its use in the shoe industry.


DISCUSSION OF RELATED ART

A "moisture-curing polyurethane hot-melt adhesive" is understood to be an adhesive largely free of solvents and having urethane groups, which is solid at room temperature and following application in the form of its melt physically binds not only by cooling but also by chemical reaction of still present isocyanate groups with moisture. It is only subsequent to such chemical curing with increase in molecule size that the adhesive receives its final characteristics.


FIELD OF THE INVENTION

Such moisture-curing polyurethane hot-melt adhesives are known for various substrates:
EP 0,421,154 describes a rapidly crystallizing polyurethane system containing isocyanate groups which is based on a polyester diol A having a melting point of from 30.degree. to 60.degree. C. and a polyester diol B having a melting point of from 65.degree. to 150.degree. C. and a polyisocyanate D. In addition, it may contain a diol C having a molecular weight of <400 as a chain extender. The polyurethane system may be directly prepared from these components in a single step but multiple steps are possible as well. The thus obtained polyurethane system is partially crystalline and is intended to be used as an assembly adhesive but specifically, as a book-binding adhesive.
DE 3,236,313 describes a hot-melt adhesive which consists of from 20 to 90% by weight of a prepolymeric isocyanate and from 5 to 50% by weight of a low molecular weight ketone resin and, in addition, may contain from 0 to 75% by weight of a thermoplastic polyurethane. The prepolymeric isocyanate is a reactive polyurethane prepolymer of
1. an aromatic diisocyanate and/or
2. a prepolymer of said isocyanate, and of
3. a polyether or a polyester having OH groups, and
4. a short-chain diol.
In the only preparative example, there is added in addition to 516 g of a polyester diol another 74 g of tripropylene glycol as a chain extender. The prepolymer is prepared from the components in a single step and has a viscosity of from 50 to 40,000 Pa.s at 20.degree. C. The hot-melt adhesive is suitable for bonding thermoplastic and thermosetting adhesives, foamed material, lacquered surfaces, wood and wooden materials, paper, leather, artificial leather, rubber, textiles, non-woven materials, and metals.
EP 0,340,906 describes a polyurethane hot-melt adhesive containing a mixture of at least two amorphous polyurethane prepolymers conferring different glass transition temperatures to the hot-melt adhesive which are above and below room temperature, respectively. The prepolymers are prepared from polyisocyanates and various diols, namely, preferably polyester diols on the one hand and, preferably polyester, polyether and other polymer diols on the other hand. The hot-melt adhesive is prepared by either mixing the individually prepared prepolymers or by preparing the second prepolymer in the first. As a rule, there are obtained opaque hot-melt adhesives at room temperature which, according to the example, have a viscosity of 91 Pa.s at 130.degree. C. The polyurethane hot-melt adhesive is used for wood bonding.
EP 0,369,607 describes a moisture-curing polyurethane hot-melt adhesive containing at least two polyurethane prepolymers, wherein the first prepolymer has a glass transition temperature of above room temperature and the second prepolymer has a glass transition temperature below same. The hot-melt adhesive is prepared from polyisocyanate and various diols, namely, from a polyether diol on the one hand, and a polyether, polyester or polybutadiene diol on the other hand. Example III contains 8.5% by weight of a polyester diol. It is indicated that the polyurethane hot-melt adhesive may be prepared in a single or in multiple steps. As a rule, it is transparent at room temperature a
