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.
