Epoxy-urethanes based on copolyesters

摘要

Described are polyester-urethane-epoxy adhesives produced by reacting one or more diols with two or more dicarboxylic acids to form a polyester prepolymer; chain-extending the prepolymer with an organic diisocyanate to yield a hydroxy-terminated polyester-urethane; capping the urethane partially or completely with a dicarboxylic acid or anhydride of dicarboxylic acid; and finally reacting with an epichlorohydrin/bisphenol A-type epoxy resin, forming an epoxy polyester-urethane block copolymer. The resulting product may then be crosslinked in use as an adhesive.
