Preparation and characterization of one-component polyurethane powder adhesives by the solution polymerization technology

摘要

A new technology integrating the synthesis and granulation was adopted to prepare the one-component polyurethane powder adhesives (PPAs) by the solution polymerization. The influence of R-total, neutralization, and types of dispersion solution on the properties of PPAs was investigated. It was found that the initial melting temperature increased and storage stability decreased with increasing R-total. The neutralization reaction between the carboxylic group and amino group made the reduction of the sizing temperature and the increase of the T-peel adhesion strength. The granulation behaviors of the polyurethane (PU) prepolymer under different dispersion solutions showed that the PU prepolymer can be effectively blocked by the 20-30 wt % NaHSO3 or n-butyl alcohol. Furthermore, the blocked polymers formed small particles with the ideal sizing temperature and peel strength. The excellent adhesive property and thermal stability of PPAs could meet the requirements of the industrial gluing in the fields of packaging, lining, and footwear. (c) 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
