Polyurethanes and hot melt moisture curable adhesive compositions that include the same are disclosed. The polyurethane includes the reaction product of diisocyanate and a semi-crystalline polyester polyol having an acid number of less than 4 and including the reaction product of a saturated fatty component having a hydroxyl number less than 2, the saturated fatty component being selected from the group consisting of saturated fatty acid, saturated fatty acid ester, saturated oil, and combinations thereof, a polyhydric alcohol that includes at least three hydroxyl groups, and a dibasic acid.

Polyurethanes and moisture curable compositions including the same

Disclosed is a semi-crystalline polyester polyol having an acid number less than 4 and derived from a saturated fatty component having a hydroxyl number less than 2, the saturated fatty component being selected from the group consisting of saturated fatty acid, saturated fatty acid ester, saturated oil, and combinations thereof, polyhydric alcohol that includes at least three hydroxyl groups, and a dibasic acid.

Semi-crystalline polyester polyol and method of making the same

The present invention relates to a hot melt adhesive composition, comprising based on the total weight of the hot melt adhesive composition: (a) from about 10 to about 50 weight percent of at least one block copolymer; (b) from about 15 to about 50 weight percent of at least one plasticizer; (c) from about 15 to about 50 weight percent of at least one resins; (d) optionally up to 25 weight percent of at least one semicrystalline polyolefin; and (e) optionally up to 10 weight percent of at least one wax. The hot melt adhesive composition of the invention can be used for bonding bundles of metal containers such as cans into packs.
