Abstract

Abstract Covers a novel thermoplastic adhesive composition comprising a polyoxamide formed by reacting a polyoxypropylene polyamine selected from the group consisting of diamines, triamines and mixtures thereof, and having an average molecular weight of about 190 to about 3,000 with oxalic acid to form a liquid prepolymer, said prepolymer being further reacted with a diamine having the formula: NH.sub.2 -- R -- NH.sub.2 where R is a divalent hydrocarbon radical containing 2-18 carbon atoms to form said resinous polyoxamide. Also covers a method of preparing said thermoplastic adhesive compound by reacting oxalic acid with a polyoxypropylene polyamine to form a prepolymer and thereafter reacting said prepolymer with a diamine such as an alkylene diamine to form said adhesive. Other components, e.g., a minor amount of polyepoxide resin having an epoxide equivalent weight of about 150 to about 600, a compatible plasticizing agent, filler and the like may be added to the polyoxamide to provide a formulated thermoplastic adhesive composition having a broad range of hardness, flexibility and compatibility, capable of bonding together a variety of substrates.
