Title:
VERY HIGH SOLIDS, THERMOSET COMPOSITION WITH ONE-SIDE (WET SET) ADHESION TO UNPRIMED/UNMODIFIED TPO SURFACES
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2020/163413
Kind Code:
A4
Abstract:
Adhesive compositions are described that are suitable for securing building materials, such as TPO membrane roofing to a structural element, such as a roof deck. The adhesive compositions are very high-solids, wet-set adhesives that provide a peel strength that meets or exceeds industry standards, while requiring application to only one of two surfaces to be joined. The adhesive compositions comprise a liquid modifier with hydroxyl functionality, a chlorinated polyolefin and a silylated polymer. Methods of use are also disclosed.

AMENDED CLAIMS

received by the International Bureau on 10 August 2020 (10.08.2020)

1. An adhesive composition comprising:

at least one liquid modifier with hydroxyl functionality, selected from the group consisting of methyl styrenated phenol, nonyl phenol, tristyryl phenol, phenyl ethanol, cardanol, cardanol polyol, and ethyl hexanediol at a concentration ranging from 1 to 40 percent by weight of the adhesive composition;

at least one polyolefin polymer selected from the group consisting of a chlorinated polyolefin and a chlorinated polymer modified with acryl, maleic acid and/or maleic anhydride; at a concentration ranging from 1 to 22 percent by weight of the adhesive composition and

at least one silylated polymer selected from the group consisting of silylated urethanes, silylated cashew nut polyols, silylated castor bean polyols at a concentration ranging from 10 to 60 percent by weight of the adhesive composition.

2. .(Cancelled)

3. (Cancelled)

4. The adhesive composition of claim 1 , wherein the at least one liquid modifier with hydroxyl functionality is a styrenated phenol monomer comprising greater than 50 percent by weight of the at least one liquid modifier with hydroxyl functionality.

5. (Cancelled)

6. The adhesive composition of claim 1 , wherein the at least one polyolefin polymer comprises a chlorinated polyolefin.

7. The adhesive composition of claim 1 , wherein the at least one polyolefin polymer comprises a maleated polyolefin polymer.

8. The adhesive composition of claim 1 , wherein the at least one silylated polymer comprises a silyated urethane polymer.

34

9. The adhesive composition of claim 1 , wherein the at least one silylated polymer comprises a silylated urethane polymer having an average molecular weight greater than 10,000.

10. (Cancelled)

1 1 . The adhesive composition of claim 1 , further comprising a tackifying resin.

12. The adhesive composition of claim 1 , further comprising a dessicant silane.

13. The adhesive composition of claim 12 wherein the dessicant silane is vinyltrimethoxysilane.

14. The adhesive composition of claim 1 , further comprising a filler selected from the group consisting of precipitated calcium carbonate, ground calcium carbonate, silica, plastic microballoons, clay, fumed silica, and talc.

15. The adhesive composition of claim 14, wherein the filler is precipitated calcium carbonate.

16. The adhesive composition of claim 1 , further comprising a curing catalyst.

17. The adhesive composition of claim 16, wherein the curing catalyst is dibutyltin dilaurate.

18. The adhesive composition of claim 1 , further comprising a solvent.

19. (Cancelled)

20. The adhesive composition of claim 1 , wherein the at least one liquid modifier with hydroxyl functionality comprises 12 to 25 percent by weight of the adhesive composition.

21. (Cancelled)

22. The adhesive composition of claim 1 , wherein the at least one polyolefin polymer comprises 3 to 15 percent by weight of the adhesive composition.

23. (Cancelled)

24. The adhesive composition of claim 1 , wherein the at least one liquid silylated polymer comprises 13 to 18 percent by weight of the adhesive composition.

25. The adhesive composition of claim 12, wherein the dessicant silane comprises 1 to 3 percent by weight of the adhesive composition.

b. installing the roof membrane onto the roof deck while the adhesive composition is still wet, so that the lower surface of the roof membrane contacts the upper surface of the roof deck.

29. The method of claim 28, wherein the roof membrane is selected from the group consisting of ethylene propylene diene monomer (EDPM)membranes, thermoplastic olefin (TPO) membranes, and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) membranes.

30. The method of claim 28, wherein the roof membrane is a thermoplastic olefin (TPO) membrane.

31. The method of claim 29, further comprising:

c. allowing the adhesive composition to dry for a period of time sufficient to achieve an adhesive peel strength greater than 5 pounds per inch as determined by suitable standardized test method.

32. A method for installing a building material onto a structural member of a building, comprising:

a. applying the adhesive composition of claim 1 to an unprimed surface selected from the group consisting of an exterior surface of a structural member or an interior surface of the building material, while leaving the other surface untreated; b. installing the building material onto the structural member while the adhesive composition is still wet so that the interior surface of the building material contacts the exterior surface of the structural member.
