MDI-based polyurethane prepolymer with low monomeric MDI content
First Claim
1. In a method for adhesively joining or sealing two substrates using a polyurethane adhesive composition comprising a polyurethane prepolymer composition and, optionally, an isocyanate-reactive curative by applying onto a substrate the polyurethane adhesive composition and contacting the adhesive composition disposed on the substrate to a second substrata such that a bond is formed, the Improvement which comprises utilizing a polyurethane prepolymer composition comprising the prepolymer reaction product of (a) 4,4′
- -diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI) and (b) a polyol composition comprising a propylene oxide based polyether polyol and consisting essentially of at least 80 wt % perfect prepolymers and less than 2 wt % free MDI monomer.
