Imine, obtainable by reaction of (i) an amino-functionalised polyoxyalkylene, the polyoxyalkylene chains of which are a copolymer of oxyethylene and oxypropylene units, those polyoxyalkylene chains carrying primary amino groups (preferably two terminal primary amino groups per molecule), and (ii) a ketone and/or aldehyde having a hydrogen atom at the carbon atom in the alpha-position to the carbonyl carbon; and various subjects of the invention based thereon, especially in coating systems or adhesive systems.

The present disclosure discloses a low-viscosity thermosetting starch adhesive for particleboards, and a preparation method therefore, belonging to the technical field of adhesive preparation. The adhesive of the present invention selects N-hydroxyethyl acrylamide or acetoxyethyl methacrylate as the crosslinking monomer, which has a low degree of crosslinking in the process of adhesive preparation to avoid the problem of increasing viscosity, but can cross-link quickly during the hot pressing process, forming a network structure, and improving the water resistance of the adhesive; and furthermore, itaconic acid is added to promote the self-crosslinking reaction of the crosslinking monomer in the hot-pressing process, thus further improving the water resistance. The properties of the manufactured particleboards reach the standard of P2 type particleboards, so that the adhesive can be suitable for mass production and can be widely applied in the preparation of wood decoration, particleboards, plywood and fiberboard.

A self-stick insulation includes an insulation product and an adhesive coating applied to a major surface of the insulation product. The adhesive coating includes between about 5-15% by weight of the adhesive coating of at least one of polystyrene-maleic anhydride (SMA) and polyacrylic acid (PAA), between about 1 and 8% by weight of the adhesive coating of an alcohol amine, between about 25 and 50% by weight of the adhesive coating of a polyvinyl alcohol, and between about 20 and 40% by weight of the adhesive coating of a starch paste. The adhesive is activated with the application of liquid water.

A roofing system includes a roofing membrane. The roofing membrane has a surface energy of 40 mN/m or less. The roofing system includes a roofing substrate. The roofing system includes an adhesive disposed between the roofing membrane and the roofing substrate. The adhesive includes a styrenic block copolymer. The styrenic block copolymer is present in an amount of 0.5 wt. % to 30 wt. % based on a total weight of the adhesive. The adhesive includes asphalt. The asphalt is present in an amount of 70 wt. % to 99.5 wt. % based on the total weight of the adhesive. A ratio of the styrenic block copolymer to the asphalt in the adhesive is 1:11 to 1:3.
