  • FIELD OF THE INVENTION
  • This invention relates to 4,4′-diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI) based polyurethane prepolymers having a controlled structure. [0002]
  • BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • Isocyanate terminated prepolymers are commonly used to produce polyurethane and/or polyurea products like elastomers, foams, coatings, adhesives, sealants, caulks, and binders. However, the prepolymer manufacturing process can often result in high residual concentrations of the polyisocyanates used in the prepolymer synthesis. The residual polyisocyanate can lead to potential health and safety issues, and may also be detrimental to the performance and attributes of the end use product. For example, residual polyisocyanate can lead to undesired losses in open time, product instability, increased moisture sensitivity and decreased adhesion due to migration of these molecules to the interface. Polyurethane prepolymers that contain controlled levels of residual polyisocyanate, preferably below 1 wt %, can reduce health and safety risks and improve end product performance. [0003]
  • Since residual polyisocyanate can pose significant health and safety risks as well as reductions in product performance, a number of products and processes have been introduced that offer reduced residual polyisocyanate levels. A variety of methods are taught in the patented art for reducing the residual isocyanate content of polyisocyanate adducts: wiped film evaporation, solvent aided distillation/co-distillation, molecular sieves, and solvent extraction.

  • SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
  • The present invention is directed to a controlled structure isocyanate terminated prepolymer composition based on the reaction of 4,4′-diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI) with a polyol composition comprising a propylene oxide based polyether polyol. The prepolymer reaction product has low levels of residual MDI monomer and low oligomer content. The residual, or free, MDI monomer content is less than 2 wt % of the prepolymer composition. [0015]
  • The MDI prepolymer composition is the product resulting from the reaction of a polypropylene polyether polyol containing “n” (at least 2) OH groups and an MDI-type polyisocyanate. The MDI/polypropylene polyether polyol prepolymer reaction product comprises oligomers and “perfect” prepolymers. The requisite low oligomer content of the prepolymer composition is ≦20 wt % or, reciprocally, it can expressed in terms of its “perfect” prepolymer content which should be ≧80 wt %. A “perfect” prepolymer of the present invention in terms of stoichiometry is a prepolymer of n MDI molecules and one polypropylene polyether polyol molecule. The stoichiometric proportions for the MDI and polyol in the reaction products are 2:1 in the case of diols and 3:1 for triols. The perfect prepolymer is essentially an adduct containing only one molecule of the polyol in each prepolymer molecule. The invention requires that this polyisocyanate prepolymer reaction product (1) consists essentially of at least 80 wt % of a stoichiometric “perfect” prepolymer and (2) contains less than 2 wt % unreacted MDI monomer. [0016]
  • Also provided is a method for adhesively joining or sealing two substrates using such MDI/polypropylene polyether polyol prepolymer compositions as adhesives. The method generally comprises [0017]
  • (1) applying onto a substrate a urethane adhesive composition comprising the controlled structure MDI/polypropylene polyether polyol prepolymer reaction product having the defined low levels of oligomers and free MDI monomer, and [0018]
  • (2) contacting the adhesive composition disposed on the substrate to a second substrate such that a bond is formed. [0019]
  • Advantages associated with the use of such controlled structure isocyanate prepolymers include [0020]
  • an ability to formulate adhesives that show improved green strength compared to those formulated using conventionally prepared isocyanate terminated prepolymers, [0021]
  • an ability to formulate adhesives showing improved ambient, or room, temperature development of strength [0022]
  • the ability to tailor oligomer content and monomer content for controlling properties like viscosity, processability, and the health and safety benefits associated with lower levels of volatile diisocyanate monomer content. [0023]
  • an ability to formulate laminating adhesives showing longer pot lives while maintaining faster development of adhesive strength. [0024]
  • DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
  • This invention relates to certain polyurethane prepolymer compositions based on the reaction of an MDI-type polyisocyanate and a polyol composition comprising a polypropylene polyether polyol, the prepolymer compositions having a low level of residual MDI monomer and a low oligomer content. These prepolymers are controlled structure polyurethane prepolymers comprising the reaction product of an MDI-type polyisocyanate (A) having a functionality (f) of at least two, with a polypropylene polyether polyol (B) of functionality (f) ≧2. The prepolymer reaction product should contain free prepolymer NCO functionality ranging from 0.2 to 15 wt %. The molecular weight distribution, i.e. distribution of perfect prepolymer to high order oligomers, is controlled in these prepolymer compositions, as well as the amount of free MDI monomer content. Thus the prepolymer compositions contain free prepolymer NCO ranging from 0.2 to 15 wt % preferably 0.5 to 8 wt %, and less than 2 wt % unreacted MDI monomer, preferably less than 1 wt %, and most desirably less than 0.5 wt %. At least 80 wt %, preferably 90 wt %, of the prepolymer reaction product obtained by the reaction of the MDI-type polyisocyanate with the polyol should comprise “perfect” prepolymers, or reciprocally no more than 20 wt % oligomers, preferably no more than 10 wt % oligomers.

  • A “perfect” prepolymer, or adduct, is the perfect end capping product of a polypropylene polyether polyol (B) with n MDI molecules (A), where n=the functionality (f) of B. For a difunctional B, the perfect prepolymer is represented as A:B:A. Oligomers, for a difunctional B (n=2), are any species with a composition greater than the perfect 2:1 molecular ratio (A:B:A), for example 3:2 (A:B:A:B:A) or 4:3 (A:B:A:B:A:B:A). For a trifunctional B (n=3), the perfect prepolymer is represented as B:3A. Oligomers in this instance are any species with a composition greater than the perfect 3:1 molecular ratio. [0026]
  • The urethane adhesive composition used in the present method comprises the above-described MDI/polypropylene polyether polyol prepolymer reaction product which can be prepared by reacting an MDI-type polyisocyanate having an NCO functionality of at least 2 with a polypropylene polyether polyol, preferably performing the reaction in an NCO:OH equivalent ratio of ≧4:1, preferably, 6-10:1. The unreacted MDI monomer in the prepolymer reaction product is removed by distillation or other treatment to a concentration of <2 wt %, preferably <1 wt %, most preferably <0.5 wt %. The prepolymer reaction product should contain prepolymer isocyanate, i.e., free prepolymer NCO functionality, ranging from 0.2 to 15 wt %, preferably, 0.5 to 8 wt %. [0027]
  • Such MDI/polypropylene polyether polyol prepolymers may be prepared according to the teachings of U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,786,703 and 5,202,001, which disclosures are incorporated by reference. [0028]
  • The prepolymer reaction products are prepared using MDI as exemplified by the polyisocyanates of the diphenylmethane series - including, but not limited to various isomeric mixtures of MDI and/or polymeric MDI: MDI; isomeric mixtures of MDI containing 30 - 98 wt % of 4,4′ isomer, 2-70 wt % of the 2,4′ isomer, and 0-5 wt % of the 2,2′ isomer (with the wt % totaling 100%); polymethylene poly(phenylisocyanate) having an average isocyanate functionality of 2.1 to 3.5, isocyanate group content of 18.0 to about 33.6, and containing about 30 to 96 wt % monomeric 4,4′ MDI, about 2-70 wt % monomeric 2,4′ MDI, and less than 5 wt % monomeric 2,2′ MDI, and from 2 - 60 wt % higher ring homologues of the MDI series (with the wt % totaling 100%). [0029]
  • Suitable polypropylene oxide based polyether polyols, also known as polypropylene glycols (PPG), include, but are not limited to, polypropylene polyether polyols with functionality of two or greater, average equivalent weight between 100 and 8000. Also included are ethylene oxide capped PPGs and low monol containing PPGs, marketed as Acclaim® polyols from Bayer. Additional polyols which may be used at 0 to 60 wt % of the polyol composition include other di- or multi-functional alkylene ether polyols like PTMEG and polyethylene oxide, polyester polyols, polyester polyols from polycaprolactones and hydroxyl terminated polybutadienes. [0030]
  • The above polyether and polyester polyols are commonly used for producing polyurethane prepolymers and can be blended such that the polyol composition (single or blend) used in making the prepolymer typically has an average Mn ranging from about 400 to 16,000, and typically from 700 to about 8000. [0031]
  • In the preferred prepolymer synthesis, it is important to maintain a high equivalent ratio of MDI to the polyol, e.g., a range from 4 to 20:1. As the level of MDI to polyol approaches 4:1 and then stoichiometric, greater quantities of higher molecular weight oligomers are formed which detract from the handling and/or performance characteristics of the urethane prepolymer composition. Preferably, the equivalent ratio of MDI to polyol in the reaction is from 6 to 10:1 equivalents of MDI to polyol to produce oligomers at less than 20 wt %, preferably less than 10 wt %. [0032]
  • In addition to the MDI/polypropylene polyether prepolymer, the urethane adhesive composition optionally contains a curative composition as is well known in the art. Suitable curative compositions include diamines, polyols, or blends thereof, as well as optional catalyst, thickening agent, or drying agent. Examples of diamines include both aromatic and aliphatic diamines, primary and secondary amine terminated polyether polyols, and difunctional, trifunctional, and polymeric amines. Examples of polyols include polyester or polyether polyols, which can be diols, triols and tetrols, having primary, secondary and/or tertiary alcohol groups. These polyols may be mixed with the diamines. Optional catalysts include tertiary amine catalysts and suitable organometallic catalysts, such as those derived from tin, zirconium, and bismuth. Other optional additives include thickening, coloring and drying agents. [0033]

  • EXAMPLE 6
  • The prepolymer compositions of Examples 1-4 were evaluated in a two component laminating adhesive composition prepared by mixing the prepolymer with polyethylene adipate (MW 550) at the NCO:OH ratio show in Table 3. The substrate was an oriented polypropylene (OPP) film (Mobil Bicor® SPW or AQS). Laminates were prepared by applying the adhesive to a corona treated film, drawing down the adhesive with a 0 size teflon treated rod, mating with a second sheet of corona treated film, and cutting the laminate into 1 inch (2.54 cm) strips. The laminate was heat sealed at 186° F. (85° C.) for 2 seconds and placed in a 359C oven for one hour before testing. The 180° peel strength of the films was obtained by pulling the two ends of 1 inch strip laminates in a 180° configuration at a crosshead speed of 12 in/minute (30.48 cm/minute) for a total distance of 1 inch on an Instron testing machine. Report average peel strength (pli) as determined by an Instron method perimeter. This perimeter is usually displacement, where the average peel results are calculated between two set points; an initial starting point (after initial load) and ending after 1 inch of sample peel. The potlife or working life of the laminating adhesive compositions was also determined. Pot life was defined as the time when the adhesive composition can no longer be drawn down effectively. The data are shown in Table 3. [0057]
