Abstract

Abstract A method for making a one package heat curable (i.e. thermosetting) composition which, on heating, forms a urethane/epoxy/silicone interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) system; one package heat curable compositions made by such a method; metal reinforcing patches, directly adherent to an oily metal surface such as an oily steel surface, comprising a sheet-like carrier having thereon such a one package heat curable composition in combination with a filler admixed therewith, said filler possibly including magnetic particles; a method for reinforcing metal which comprises applying thereto such a metal reinforcing patch and curing said heat curable composition at an elevated temperature to form a urethane/epoxy/silicone interpenetrating polymer network.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim 74 words
A method for making a one package, heat crosslinkable composition which, on heating, forms an interpenetrating urethane/epoxy/silicone polymer network, which method comprises combining a polyepoxide compound and a thermo-reversibly blocked polyamine curing agent with an extended polyurethane prepolymer, free of isocyanate groups, prepared by thermo-reversibly blocking some of the isocyanate groups of a polyurethane prepolymer having a plurality of isocyanate groups and reacting the non-blocked isocyanate groups with a silicone polycarbinol and a polyol.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 74 words
A method for making a one package, heat crosslinkable composition which, on heating, forms an interpenetrating urethane/epoxy/silicone polymer network, which method comprises combining a polyepoxide compound and a thermo-reversibly blocked polyamine curing agent with an extended polyurethane prepolymer, free of isocyanate groups, prepared by thermo-reversibly blocking some of the isocyanate groups of a polyurethane prepolymer having a plurality of isocyanate groups and reacting the non-blocked isocyanate groups with a silicone polycarbinol and a polyol.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 23 words
A method as in claim 1 wherein said polyurethane prepolymer is prepared by reacting an excess of an organic polyisocyanate with a polyol.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 18 words
A method as in claim 2 wherein said polyol, reacted with said organic polyisocyanate, is a polyester polyol.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 13 words
A method as in claim 3 wherein said polyester polyol is polycaprolactone polyol.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 19 words
A method as in claim 1 wherein isocyanate groups of said polyurethane polymer are thermo-reversibly blocked with epsilon caprolactam.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 19 words
A method as in claim 1 wherein said polyol, reacted with said non-blocked isocyanate groups, is a polyester polyol.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 13 words
A method as in claim 6 wherein said polyester polyol is polycaprolactone diol.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 15 words
A method as in claim 1 wherein said polyepoxide is a polyepoxide of bisphenol A.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 16 words
A method as in claim 8 wherein said polyepoxide is a diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 24 words
A method as in claim 1 wherein said thermo-reversibly blocked polyamine curing agent is the reaction product of an acid anhydride and a polyamine.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim 23 words
A method as in claim 10 wherein said thermo-reversibly blocked polyamine curing agent is the reaction product of phthalic anhydride and diethylene triamine.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim 9 words
A composition made by the method of claim 1.
