Abstract

An adhesive sealant composition of at least one moisture-crosslinkable prepolymer and an anti-sagging agent of 5% to 30% by weight of a thixotropic composition of 10% to 40% by weight of a bisurea a) obtained by reaction of a primary aliphatic amine a1) with a diisocyanate a2) having a molar mass of less than 500 g/mol, and 60% to 90% by weight of an ester b) of formula (I):

in which R 1 , R 2 and R 3 are an oxycarbonylalkyl radical having from 4 to 20 carbon atoms, R 4 is hydrogen, methyl or ethyl or —CH 2 —R 5 in which R 5 is oxycarbonylalkyl having from 4 to 20 carbon atoms, in the form of a suspension of solid particles of bisurea a) in a continuous phase formed by ester b).

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An adhesive sealant composition comprising at least one moisture-crosslinkable prepolymer and, as anti-sagging agent, from 5% to 30% by weight, on the basis of the total weight of said adhesive sealant composition, of a thixotropic composition comprising 10% to 40% by weight of a bisurea a) obtained by reaction of a primary aliphatic amine a1) with a diisocyanate a2), said diisocyanate a2) having a molar mass of less than 500 g/mol, and
from 60% to 90% by weight of an ester b) of formula (I):

in which:
R 1 , R 2 and R 3 , which are identical or different, each represent an oxycarbonylalkyl radical having from 4 to 20 carbon atoms;
R 4 represents a hydrogen atom, a methyl or ethyl radical or a radical: —CH 2 —R 5 in which R 5 represents an oxycarbonylalkyl radical having from 4 to 20 carbon atoms;
said thixotropic composition being in the form of a suspension of solid particles of bisurea a) in a continuous phase formed by the ester b).

2. The adhesive sealant composition according to claim 1 , wherein the amine a1) is an n-alkylamine having 1 to 22 carbon atoms.

3. The adhesive sealant composition according to claim 1 , wherein the amine a1) is n-butylamine.

4. The adhesive sealant composition according to claim 1 , wherein the diisocyanate a2) has the formula (II):
NCO—R 6 —NCO  (II)

in which R 6 is one of the following divalent radicals, the formulae of which show 2 free valencies:
a) the divalent radical derived from isophorone:

b) the divalent radical 4,4′-methylene-bis(cyclohexyl)

c) the divalent radical derived from toluene 2,4-diisocyanate (or 2,4-TDI) or from toluene 2,6-diisocyanate (or 2,6-TDI) of respective formulae:

d) the divalent radical derived from 4,2′-diphenylmethylene diisocyanate (or 4,2′-MDI) or from 4,4′-diphenylmethylene diisocyanate (or 4,4′-MDI), of formulae:

e)

—(CH 2 ) 6 — (or hexamethylene radical);
f)

or g)

5. The adhesive sealant composition according to claim 1 , wherein the diisocyanate a2) is 4,4′-diphenylmethylene diisocyanate.

6. The adhesive sealant composition according to claim 1 , wherein the ester b) has the formula (I), in which R 4 represents a radical: —CH 2 —R 5 .

7. The adhesive sealant composition according to claim 1 , wherein the ester b) has the formula (I), in which:
R 1 , R 2 and R 3 are identical and each represent an oxycarbonylalkyl radical having 4 or 5 carbon atoms; and
R 4 represents a radical: —CH 2 —R 5 in which R 5 is identical to R 1 , R 2 and R 3 .

8. The adhesive sealant composition according to claim 1 , wherein the ester b) is pentaerythritol tetravalerate.

9. The adhesive sealant composition according to claim 1 , comprising:
from 10% to 30% by weight of at least one moisture-crosslinkable prepolymer,
from 20% to 70% by weight of at least one filler,
from 5% to 25% by weight of the thixotropic composition, and
from 0.01% to 1% by weight of at least one crosslinking catalyst,

the percentages by weight being expressed with respect to the total weight of said adhesive composition.

10. The adhesive sealant composition according to claim 1 , wherein the moisture-crosslinkable prepolymer is a polyurethane comprising —NCO end groups.

11. The adhesive sealant composition according to claim 1 , comprising 5 to 35% by weight, on the basis of the weight of said adhesive sealant composition, of a plasticizer other than ester b).

12. A ready-to-use article comprising the adhesive sealant composition as defined in claim 1 , in a hermetic packaging protected from air.
