[0225] Moisture-Curing Polyurethane Compositions:
[0226] Compositions Z1 to Z16:
[0227] Each composition, using the ingredients specified in tables 1 to 4, was mixed well in the amounts specified (in parts by weight) by means of a planetary mixer under reduced pressure and with exclusion of moisture, and the composition was dispensed into an aluminum cartridge with an airtight seal and stored at room temperature.
[0228] “DIDP” denotes diisodecyl phthalate, a plasticizer. The carbon black used, Monarch® 570 (from Cabot), is a highly structured, nonoxidized carbon black having very good reinforcing properties. The tin catalyst is a dibutyltin dilaurate (10% by weight in DIDP). Desmodur® N3300 (from Covestro) is a hexamethylene diisocyanate trimer.
[0229] Each composition was tested as follows:
[0230] For determination of mechanical properties, each composition was pressed between two silicone-coated release papers to give a film of thickness 2 mm and stored under standard climatic conditions for 14 days. After removing the release papers, some test specimens were punched out and tested as described as follows:
[0231] For determination of tensile strength (TS), elongation at break (EaB) and modulus of elasticity at 0.5-5% elongation, dumbbells having a length of 75 mm with a bar length of 30 mm and a bar width of 4 mm were punched out of the film, and these were tested to DIN EN 53504 at a strain rate of 200 mm/min.
[0232] Impedance was determined via the dielectric constant (product of resistance and capacitance) at radiofrequencies of 1 MHz, 6 MHz and 100 MHz by means of an Agilent/Hewlett Packard HP 4291A impedance meter. For this purpose, samples were produced by applying the adhesive to be examined between two copper plates (Rocholl, Germany) and compressing to a thickness (adhesive) of 2 mm. Once the adhesive had cured (7 days at 23° C., 50% r.h.), the cured adhesive fraction that had been squeezed out between the plates was cut off with a sharp knife, and hence a sandwich-like test specimen was obtained, in which 2 mm of the cured adhesive was trapped between the copper plates.
[0233] This test specimen was analyzed for impedance in the abovementioned instrument at the frequencies specified.
[0234] Electrical resistance was measured at a voltage of 1 V, 10 V and 100 V. The experiments were conducted according to standard DIN IEC 60167 VDE 0303-31:1993-12 using a Chrome Insulation Tester 11200 (Chroma 11200 Capacitor Leakage Current/IR Meter, Chroma USA) on the samples from the impedance measurement.
