Abstract
Abstract A pressure-sensitive adhesive prepared from a two-package polyurethane system; the two packages comprise an isocyanate reactant and an active hydrogen reactant. The reactants are characterized by a molar insufficiency of isocyanate and at least some tri- or higher-functionality in either the active hydrogen or the isocyanate reactant, or both. The underindexing should range from 0.4 to 0.75 when the higher functionality reactant has a functionality of 2.1, and should range from 0.3 to 0.7 when the higher functionality reactant has a functionality of 4, with linearly extrapolated values in between. Pressure sensitive adhesives prepared from this system provide comparable shear resistance as do solvent-system polyurethane adhesives, without the worksite and environmental problems associated with such solvent systems.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
108 words
A pressure-sensitive adhesive composition consisting essentially of the reaction product of an active hydrogen composition with an isocyanate composition, wherein at least some tri- or other higher-functionality is present in the active hydrogen composition and/or in the isocyanate composition, wherein the ratio of isocyanate to reactive hydrogen is between 0.4 and 0.75 when the reactant having some tri- or higher-functionality has a net functionality of 2.1, is between 0.3 and 0.7 when the reactant having some tri- or higher-functionality has a net functionality of 4, or a linearly extrapolated value in between, and further wherein said reaction product is a reaction product generated from a solvent-free two-package system.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
108 words
A pressure-sensitive adhesive composition consisting essentially of the reaction product of an active hydrogen composition with an isocyanate composition, wherein at least some tri- or other higher-functionality is present in the active hydrogen composition and/or in the isocyanate composition, wherein the ratio of isocyanate to reactive hydrogen is between 0.4 and 0.75 when the reactant having some tri- or higher-functionality has a net functionality of 2.1, is between 0.3 and 0.7 when the reactant having some tri- or higher-functionality has a net functionality of 4, or a linearly extrapolated value in between, and further wherein said reaction product is a reaction product generated from a solvent-free two-package system.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
25 words
The pressure-sensitive adhesive according to claim 1, wherein said active hydrogen composition further comprises a polybutadiene resin having active hydrogen functionality in excess of 2.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
26 words
The pressure-sensitive adhesive according to claim 1, wherein said active hydrogen composition further comprises a castor oil derivative having active hydrogen functionality in excess of 2.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
14 words
The pressure-sensitive adhesive according to claim 1, wherein said reaction product contains an antioxidant.
Claim 6
Independent Claim
107 words
A method for preparing a pressure-sensitive adhesive, consisting essentially of the steps of reacting, within the bounds of a solvent-free two-package system, an active hydrogen composition with a molar insufficiency of an isocyanate composition, after selecting either said active hydrogen composition or said isocyanate composition to have a functionality between 2.1 and 4.0, so that the ratio of isocyanate to reactive hydrogen is between 0.4 and 0.75 when the reactant having some tri- or higher-functionality has a net functionality of 2.1, is between 0.3 and 0.7 when the reactant having some tri- or higher-functionality has a net functionality of 4, or a linearly extrapolated value in between.
Claim 7
Independent Claim
107 words
A method for preparing a pressure-sensitive adhesive, consisting essentially of the steps of reacting, within the bounds of a solvent-free two-package system, an active hydrogen composition with a molar insufficiency of an isocyanate composition, after selecting either said active hydrogen composition or said isocyanate composition to have a functionality between 2.1 and 4.0, so that the ratio of isocyanate to reactive hydrogen is between 0.4 and 0.75 when the reactant having some tri- or higher-functionality has a net functionality of 2.1, is between 0.3 and 0.7 when the reactant having some tri- or higher-functionality has a net functionality of 4, or a linearly extrapolated value in between.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
22 words
The method for preparing a pressure-sensitive adhesive according to claim 5, wherein a polybutadiene resin is selected as said active hydrogen composition.

Claim 10
Dependent Claim
25 words
The method for preparing a pressure-sensitive adhesive according to claim 5, wherein an antioxidant is admixed with said active hydrogen composition and said isocyanate composition.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
13 words
The product prepared according to the process of any one of claims 5-8.
