Abstract

A composite polyurethane condom and a preparation method thereof. The composite polyurethane condom includes a first substrate layer, an adhesive layer formed on the first substrate layer, and a second substrate layer formed on the adhesive layer. A special adhesive layer is added between the two layers of materials, so that, for example, two materials with different polarities can be firmly attached together without delamination.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1 . A composite polyurethane condom comprising:
a first substrate layer; an adhesive layer formed on the first substrate layer; and a second substrate layer formed on the adhesive layer; wherein the adhesive layer comprises an aliphatic sulfonated waterborne polyurethane, the aliphatic sulfonated waterborne polyurethane comprising amino groups, sulfonic groups and carboxyl groups in its molecular chain; wherein the aliphatic sulfonated waterborne polyurethane comprises a polyether/polyester polyol, an aliphatic diisocyanate, a crosslinking agent, and a hydrophilic chain extender; wherein the aliphatic diisocyanate is selected from the group consisting of hexamethylene diisocyanate, isophorone diisocyanate, dicyclohexylmethane-4,4′-diisocyanate, and combinations thereof; and wherein the adhesive layer has an elongation at break greater than or equal to 500%.

2 . The composite polyurethane condom according to claim 1 , wherein the second substrate layer comprises at least one of a natural latex film, a synthetic rubber film, a polyurethane film and a polyisoprene film.

3 . The composite polyurethane condom according to claim 1 , wherein the second substrate layer comprises at least one of natural latex film, a synthetic rubber film, a polyurethane film and a polyisoprene film.

4 . The composite polyurethane condom according to claim 1 , wherein the polyether/polyester polyol has a molecular weight of 400-6000, and the polyether/polyester polyol is selected from the group consisting of polyoxypropylene glycol, polytetramethylene ether glycol, poly(neopentyl glycol adipate), poly 1,4-butanediol adipate, poly 1,6-hexanediol adipate, polycaprolactone, polycarbonate, and combinations thereof.

5 . The composite polyurethane condom according to claim 1 , wherein the crosslinking agent is selected from the group consisting of trimethylolpropane, silances, neopentyl lglycol, castor oil, and combinations thereof.

6 . The composite polyurethane condom according to claim 1 , wherein the hydrophilic chain extender is selected from the group consisting of sodium ethylenediaminoethanesulfonate, dihydromethyl 1 propionic acid, and combinations thereof.

7 . The composite polyurethane condom according to claim 1 , wherein the aliphatic sulfonated waterborne polyurethane has a 100% modulus less than or equal to 1.2 N/mm 2 , and the adhesive layer has a thickness of 0.1-20 μm.

8 . The composite polyurethane condom according to claim 1 , wherein the aliphatic sulfonated waterborne polyurethane comprises at least one of silyl and hydroxyl groups in its molecular chain.

9 . The composite polyurethane condom according to claim 1 , wherein the first substrate layer has a different polarity than the second substrate layer.

10 . The composite polyurethane condom according to claim 1 , wherein the first substrate layer has the same polarity as the second substrate layer.
