Abstract

A composition comprising: a) one or more isocyanate functional prepolymers; b) one or more amorphous linear polymers having sufficient polarity to form a homogeneous mixture with the one or more isocyanate functional prepolymers and having a hydroxyl number of about 10 or less; c) one or more forms of carbon black; and d) one or more catalysts for the reaction of isocyanate moieties with active hydrogen atom containing groups.

First claim

a) one or more isocyanate functional prepolymers;
b) one or more amorphous linear polymers comprising blocks of polyester and polyalkylene oxides or a polyolefin polymer containing polar co-monomers or polar compounds grafted to the backbone wherein the one or more amorphous linear polymers have sufficient polarity to form a homogeneous mixture with the one or more isocyanate functional prepolymers and a hydroxyl number of about 10 or less which are present in the composition in an amount of about 0.1 to less than 10 percent by weight based on the composition;
c) one or more forms of carbon black;
d) one or more catalysts for the reaction of isocyanate moieties with active hydrogen atom containing groups;
f) one or more fillers other than carbon black; and
g) one or more plasticizers;
wherein the composition is useful as an adhesive and can be applied at ambient temperatures.

2. A composition according to claim 1 wherein the one or more amorphous linear polymers are solid at 25° C. and exhibit a glass transition temperature of from about 50 to about 130° C.

3. A composition according to claim 1 wherein the one or more fillers other than carbon black comprise one or more of calcium carbonate and clay.

4. A composition according to claim 1 wherein the one or more prepolymers containing isocyanate functional groups comprise one or more prepolymers containing isocyanate functional groups and alkoxysilane groups.

5. A composition according to claim 1 wherein the composition is a one part composition.

6. A composition according to claim 1 wherein the one or more forms of carbon black comprise non-conductive carbon black, conductive carbon black, or a mixture thereof, present in an amount below the percolation threshold for the composition.

7. A composition according to claim 1 wherein composition contains one or more adhesion promoters in an amount of about 0.1 to about 2.5 percent by weight of the composition.

8. A composition according to claim 1 wherein:
a) the one or more isocyanate functional prepolymers are present in an amount of about 20 to about 70 percent by weight based on the weight of the composition;
b) one or more amorphous linear polymers are present in an amount of about 0.1 to about 6 percent by weight based on the weight of the composition;
c) the one or more forms of carbon black are present in an amount of about 5 to about 20 percent by weight based on the weight of the composition;
d) the one or more catalysts for the reaction of isocyanate moieties with hydroxyl groups are present in an amount of about 0.005 to about 2 percent by weight based on the weight of the composition;
f) the one or more fillers other than carbon black are present in an amount of about 3 to about 30 percent by weight based on the weight of the composition; and
g) the one or more plasticizers are present in an amount of about 1 to about 50 percent by weight of the composition.

9. A composition comprising a first part and a second part;
a) one or more isocyanate functional prepolymers present in an amount of about 20 to about 70 percent by weight based on the weight of the composition;
