Abstract

The invention relates to thermoplastic compositions that contain reactive isocyanate groups and that are suitable for use as desiccants for packaging moisture-sensitive goods, especially for polyurethane hotmelt adhesives that are cross-linked upon exposure to moisture. The compositions are formed by the reaction of hydroxy- or amino-containing polyols, including sugars, with an excess of polyisocyanates, and admixing the resulting product with polyurethane catalysts.
