Abstract

Hydroxyaldimines of formula (I), their reaction products, in particular products of their reaction with polyisocyanates, and compositions including isocyanate groups and containing such reaction products. The hydroxyaldimine permits compositions which have good storage stability, a long open time, low odour, rapid, bubble-free curing and good mechanical properties, and which are not susceptible to plasticizer migration and have a particularly low content of monomeric diisocyanates. In particular, it permits reactive hot-melt adhesives with a particularly good workability.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A hydroxyaldimine of the formula (I)

wherein
A is a divalent aliphatic or cycloaliphatic or arylaliphatic hydrocarbyl radical optionally containing ether oxygen and having a molecular weight in a range of from 28 to 500 g/mol, and
Z is a radical of the formula (II):

where
R is a radical of the formula

R 1 and R 2 are each an alkyl radical and together have 9 to 13 carbon atoms.

2. The hydroxyaldimine as claimed in claim 1 , wherein A is selected from the group consisting of 1,2-ethylene, 1,2-propylene, 1,3-propylene, 1,5-pentylene, 1,6-hexylene, (1,5,5-trimethylcyclohexan-l-yl)methane-1,3 , and 3-oxa-1,5-pentylene.

3. A reaction product containing at least one of the hydroxyaldimine as claimed in claim 1 , obtained from a reaction of at least one amine of the formula (III) with at least one aldehyde of the formula (IV) in a condensation reaction with release of water,
wherein
the at least one aldehyde was present stoichiometrically or in a stoichiometric excess in relation to the primary amino groups, and
the formulae (III) and (IV) are:

4. A mixture including two or more of the hydroxyaldimines as claimed in claim 1 , wherein R is selected from the group consisting of branched decyl, undecyl, dodecyl, tridecyl, and tetradecyl radicals.

5. A reaction product having aldimino groups of the formula (V)

obtained from a reaction of at least one of the hydroxyaldimine as claimed in claim 1 with at least one polyisocyanate.

6. The reaction product as claimed in claim 5 , further comprising isocyanate groups , and an OH/NCO ratio in the reaction is in a range of from 0.05/1 to 0.5/1.

7. The reaction product as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the reaction product is free of isocyanate groups and an OH/NCO ratio in the reaction is in a range of from 1/1 to 1.5/1.

8. A composition containing isocyanate groups, comprising at least one of the reaction product as claimed in claim 5 .

9. The composition as claimed in claim 8 , further comprising at least one ingredient selected from the group consisting of catalysts, fillers, plasticizers, and solvents.

10. The composition as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the composition is an adhesive or a sealant or a coating.

11. The composition as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the composition is a reactive hotmelt adhesive.

12. A method of reducing content of monomeric diisocyanates in a polyurethane polymer containing isocyanate groups by reacting it in a substoichiometric OH/NCO ratio with at least one of the hydroxyaldimine as claimed in claim 1 , with exclusion of moisture.

13. The hydroxyaldimine as claimed in claim 1 , wherein A is 3-oxa-1,5-pentylene or (1,5,5-trimethylcyclohexan-l-yl)methane-1,3.

14. The hydroxyaldimine as claimed in claim 1 , wherein A is (1,5,5-trimethylcyclohexan-l-yl)methane-1,3.

15. The mixture as claimed in claim 4 , wherein A is 3-oxa-1,5-pentylene or (1,5,5-trimethylcyclohexan-l-yl)methane-1,3.

16. The mixture as claimed in claim 4 , wherein A is (1,5,5-trimethylcyclohexan-l-yl)methane-1,3.
