A first aspect of the present invention is an adhesive composition comprising one or more polyisocyanates and one or more phosphate-functional polyols. A second aspect of the present invention is a method of bonding two substrates together to form a bonded article, said method comprising the steps of applying a layer of the composition of the first aspect to one of said substrates, contacting said layer of the composition of claim 1 to a second substrate, and curing or allowing to cure the composition of claim 1. A third aspect of the present invention is a bonded article formed by the method of the second aspect.

A composite material formed by combining a polyurethane material with an unclickable foam layer and a scrim layer through roll and flat form technology. The composite material is embossed to form pillowlike chambers or cells delineated by a network of emboss pattern lines formed by the bonding between these layers.

A transparent composite armor is made of tens to hundreds or even thousands of thin layers of material each with a thickness of 10-500 μm. An appropriate amount of impedance mismatch between the layers causes some reflection at each interface but limit the amplitude of the resulting tensile wave below the tensile strength of the constituent materials. The result is an improvement in ballistic performance and that will result is a significant impact in reducing size, weight, and volume of the armor.

Transparent polymeric hardcoats with antimicrobial efficacy are described along with compositions for preparing the hardcoats. The transparent polymeric hardcoats at appropriate thicknesses can provide optical properties of high optical transmission, low haze and high clarity, and are suitable for use in electronic displays designed for commercial applications intended for high consumer use. Touch screens having the transparent polymeric hardcoats are also described.

A repair wrap for repairing or strengthening an item. The repair wrap includes a fabric, where the fabric includes one or more fibers. The repair wrap also includes a film disposed laterally within the fabric. The repair wrap further includes a hardening material disposed in the fabric. The fabric is configured to be wrapped around a portion of an item. Curing the hardening material is configured to form a shell about the portion of the item.

A fire-retardant polyurethane foam mattress and a method of manufacture thereof are provided. The mattress comprises a polyurethane foam prepared from a composition comprising at least a polyol, an organic polyisocyanate and a fire retardant and is provided with an outer layer encapsulating the polyurethane foam, the outer layer comprising a waterproof membrane of silicone rubber. A fire-resistant barrier layer is disposed substantially between the waterproof membrane and the polyurethane foam.

Disclosed is an adhesive for laminated sheets comprising a urethane resin obtained by blending: (A) an acrylic polyol; (B) at least one component selected from carboxylic acids and carboxylic anhydrides; and (C) an isocyanate compound. The acrylic polyol (A) is obtained by polymerization of a polymerizable monomer, has a glass transition temperature of from −35° C. to 20° C., and has a hydroxyl value of from 0.5 to 40 mgKOH/g. The adhesive for laminated sheets is excellent in initial adhesion to a film, peel strength after aging and hydrolysis resistance for a long time under high temperature when a laminated sheet is produced, and wherein the adhesive does not impart an adverse effect to the appearance of the laminated sheet and the lamination process of films while improving the curability. The laminated sheet is suitably prepared using the adhesive for laminated sheets. An article comprising the laminated sheet can be prepared using the laminated sheet.

A multilayer structure comprising a maleic anhydride functionalized polyolefin layer applied to a metal containing layer is provided. Further provided is a packaging comprising the multilayer structure.

The invention concerns a two-component polyurethane composition including a polyol component K1 and a polyisocyanate component K2, the polyol component K1 including castor oil A1 and 1,2,3-propane triol A2, and the polyisocyanate component K2 including at least one aromatic polyisocyanate B1, the ratio in weight percent of (A1/A2) being between 4 and 50 and the ratio of all NCO groups of the aromatic polyisocyanates B1 to all the OH groups totaling (A1+A2)=1.15:1-85:1, and the total of all the OH groups of (A1+A2) being >93% of the total of all the OH groups of the two-component polyurethane composition, characterized by controllable hydrolytic degradability.

A composite skin material for a vehicle includes a fibrous substrate, a polyurethane resin layer provided on the front side of the fibrous substrate, and a woven fabric adhered to the back side of the fibrous substrate through an adhesive layer comprising a polyurethane resin.
