The present invention relates to a polyester urethane polymer containing isocyanate groups and being liquid at ambient temperature, obtained by reacting at least one monomeric diisocyanate and a dimer fatty acid-based polyester diol having an OH-number ranging between 28 and 120 mg KOH/g in a NCO/OH ratio of at least 3/1, and by subsequently removing a large part of the monomeric diisocyanate by means of a suitable separation process, characterised in that said polymer has an NCO content ranging between 1.5 and 6 % by wt. and a maximum monomeric diisocyanate content of 0.5 % by wt. The invention also relates to the use of said polymer as an adhesion promoter and to moisture-curing polyurethane compositions containing said polymer. The polymer according to the invention is easy to use. It permits the production of moisture-curing polyurethane compositions for application in ambient temperatures, having improved properties in terms of open time, adhesion, application and weather resistance, with unchanged good properties of storage stability, curing rate, strength, ductility, elasticity and hazardous material classification. Compositions of this type are particularly suitable for use as elastic adhesives in replacement glass for vehicles. |
