A method of bonding soles to shoes using a moisture curable adhesive composition is described. The method involves application of a layer of the adhesive, preferably as a melt at a temperature between 80°C and 100°Cto a sole and/or a show upper, chain extension of the polyurethane by moisture, heat activation of at least one of the layers and pressing the sole and shoe upper together. The method exhibits tolerance of chain extension conditions and of delays priorto heat activation and also leads to bonds of good initial and final values. The adhesive comprises a polyurethane prepolymer having NCO groups available for reaction, and a monofunctional reactant present in amounts sufficient to react with up to 40 mole % of the isocyanate groups of the prepolymer. Preferred polyurethanes are based on polyesters from aliphatic dicarboxylic acids and diols together with aromatic diisocyantes for example MDI. The monofunctional reactant influences the extended ability of a chain extended layer of the adhesive to be activated by heat after comparatively long periods in combination with the achievement of good bond strengths.
描述了一种使用湿气固化粘合剂组合物将鞋底粘合到鞋上的方法。该方法包括在 80°C 至 100°C 的温度下将一层粘合剂(最好是熔体)涂在鞋底和/或鞋帮上,通过湿气使聚
氨酯链延伸,加热激活至少一层粘合剂,然后将鞋底和鞋帮压在一起。该方法对链延伸条件和热激活前的延迟具有耐受性,并能产生良好的初始值和最终值。该粘合剂包括一种具有可用于反应的 NCO 基团的聚
氨酯预聚物,以及一种单官能反应物,其含量足以与预聚物中高达 40 摩尔%的
异氰酸酯基团发生反应。首选的聚
氨酯是基于脂肪族二
羧酸和二元醇与芳香族二
异氰酸酯(如
MDI)的聚酯。单官能团反应物可影响粘合剂链延层的扩展能力,使其在相对较长的时间后被热激活,同时获得良好的粘合强度。
