Abstract
Abstract Adhesion between an adhesive of the class of polymerizable liquid ethylenically unsaturated compounds containing a single vinyl group and solid polyester-containing plastic materials is improved by treating the substrate with a primer composition comprising an aromatic polyisocyanate and an amino resin and moisture-curing the polyisocyanate compound prior to application of the adhesive. The adhesive-joined assemblies are cured in a first stage at room temperature and, in a second stage, are post-baked at 100° to 150° C. to complete cure of the adhesive and the primer.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
188 words
A method for bonding polyester-based plastic materials comprising: (a) treating said polyester-based plastic material with a primer composition comprising at least one aromatic polyisocyanate compound, at least one amino resin and at least one acidic urethanation catalyst; (b) exposing such treated polyester-based plastic material to ambient conditions of temperature and humidity for a time sufficient to at least partially moisture-cure said aromatic polyisocyanate compound to form a urethane compound having sufficient --NH-- groups for subsequent reaction with functional groups of said amino resin; (c) applying to such treated polyester-based plastic material a room temperature-curable adhesive composition comprising ethylenically unsaturated compound having a single vinyl group; (d) contacting such adhesive-coated treated polyester-based plastic material with a second polyester-based plastic material, said second plastic material having been treated with said primer composition; (e) exposing the resulting assembly at room temperature for a time to at least initiate curing of said adhesive; and (f) baking the assembly at a temperature in the range from 100° to 150° C. to react functional groups of said amino resin with said --NH-- groups of said urethane compound and complete cure of said primer composition.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
188 words
A method for bonding polyester-based plastic materials comprising: (a) treating said polyester-based plastic material with a primer composition comprising at least one aromatic polyisocyanate compound, at least one amino resin and at least one acidic urethanation catalyst; (b) exposing such treated polyester-based plastic material to ambient conditions of temperature and humidity for a time sufficient to at least partially moisture-cure said aromatic polyisocyanate compound to form a urethane compound having sufficient --NH-- groups for subsequent reaction with functional groups of said amino resin; (c) applying to such treated polyester-based plastic material a room temperature-curable adhesive composition comprising ethylenically unsaturated compound having a single vinyl group; (d) contacting such adhesive-coated treated polyester-based plastic material with a second polyester-based plastic material, said second plastic material having been treated with said primer composition; (e) exposing the resulting assembly at room temperature for a time to at least initiate curing of said adhesive; and (f) baking the assembly at a temperature in the range from 100° to 150° C. to react functional groups of said amino resin with said --NH-- groups of said urethane compound and complete cure of said primer composition.
