Foamable hot-melt adhesives comprised of a per se known hot-melt adhesive having a foaming additive therein, for example an organic azo compound. These adhesives can function in a purely physical foaming manner but can also function as crosslinking material, i.e. as solidifying and bonding materials
Foamable hot-melt adhesives comprised of a per se known hot-melt adhesive having a foaming additive therein, for example an organic azo compound. These adhesives can function in a purely physical foaming manner but can also function as crosslinking material, i.e. as solidifying and bonding materials. The foamable hot-melt adhesives of the invention can be used, for example, in sealing cable ends, for filling any desired aperture in the construction field, for sealing windows, doors, etc. or for sealing articles of manufacture.

1. A method of producing a foamable hot-melt adhesive, comprising: admixing a per se known granulated hot-melt thermoplastic adhesive having a melting temperature in the range of about 100° C. with a thermally decomposable powdered foaming additive having a decomposition temperature above the melting temperature of said adhesive; said foaming additive being selected from the group consisting of 1,1'-diacetoxy-1,1'-azocyclohexane; 2,2'-diacetoxy-2,2'-azopropane; and 4,4'-dimethyl-4,4'-azobutyrolactone; and heating the resultant admixture to a temperature above the melting temperature of said adhesive and below the decomposition temperature of said foaming additive so as to provide a molten adhesive together with a foaming additive therein which evidences substantially no foaming at said temperature to achieve a substantially uniform admixture. 2. A method of sealing communication cable structure ends comprising: coating a foamable hot-melt adhesive, comprised of substantially uniform admixture of a per se known molten thermoplastic adhesive having a melting temperature in the range of about 100° C. and a thermally decomposable solid foaming additive in said molten adhesive having a decomposition temperature above the melting range of said adhesive, onto end portion to be sealed; said foaming additive being selected from the group consisting of 1,1'-diacetoxy-1,1'-azocyclohexane; 2,2'-diacetoxy-2,2'-azopropane; and 4,4'-dimethyl-4,4'-azobutyrolactone; and heating the so-coated end portions to a temperature above the decomposition temperature of said foaming additive so that a foam is generated on said end portions and, which bonds and seals said end portions. 3. A method for joining cable structure ends wherein a filler piece composed of a heat-shrinkable plastic material and having recesses for insertion of cable structure end portions is coated with a foamable hot-melt adhesive composed of a substantially uniform admixture of a thermoplastic adhesive having a melting temperature of about 100° C. and a thermally decomposable foaming additive having a decomposition temperature above the melting temperature of said adhesive, said foaming additive being selected from the group consisting of 1,1'-diacetoxy-1,1'-azocyclohexane; 2,2'-diacetoxy-2,2'-azopropane; and 4,4'-dimethyl-4,4'-azobutyrolactone, said cable end portions are inserted into said filler piece and in contact with said foamable hot-melt adhesive in the molten state, and the resultant assembly is heated to a temperature sufficient to shrink said filler piece about said cable ends and to decompose said foaming additive so that a foam is generated between said end portions and filler piece and which bonds and seals said end portions with said filler piece. 4. A foamable hot-melt adhesive comprising: a substantially uniform admixture of a per se known thermoplastic adhesive having a melting temperature in the range of about 70° to 120° C. and a thermally decomposable foaming additive having a decomposition temperature above the melting range of said adhesive, said foaming additive being selected from the group consisting of 1,1'-diacetoxy-1,1'-azocyclohexane; 2,2'-diacetoxy-2,2'-azopropane; and 4,4'-dimethyl-4,4'-azobutyrolactone. 5. A foamable hot-melt adhesive as defined in claim 4 wherein the amount of foaming additive in the admixture is in the range of about 0.5 to 10% by weight, based upon the weight of said hot melt adhesive. 6. A foamable hot-melt adhesive as defined in claim 4 wherein said foamable hot-melt adhesive is positioned on a heat-shrinkable plastic film. 7. A film structure comprising a carrier sheet having two opposing major surfaces, and a foamable hot-melt adhesive comprised of a substantially uniform admixture of a per se known thermoplastic hot-melt adhesive having a melting range of about 100° C. and a thermally decomposable foaming additive having a decomposition temperature above the melting range of said adhesive, said foamable hot-melt adhesive being positioned on at least one of said major surfaces of said carrier sheet, said foaming additive being selected from the group consisting of 1,1'-diacetoxy-1,1'-azocyclohexane; 2,2'-diacetoxy-2,2'-azopropane; and 4,4'-dimethyl-4,4'-azobutyrolactone. 8. A method of filling apertures and the like in the construction field, comprising: applying a foamable hot-melt adhesive comprised of a substantially uniform admixture of a per se known molten thermoplastic adhesive having a melting range of about 100° C. and a thermally decomposable solid foaming additive having a decomposition temperature above the melting range of said adhesive on surfaces containing an aperture to be sealed; said foaming additive being selected from the group consisting of 1,1'-diacetoxy-1,1'-azocyclohexane; 2,2'-diacetoxy-2,2'-azopropane; and 4,4'-dimethyl-4,4'-azobutyrolactone; and heating the so-applied foamable hot-melt adhesive to a temperature above the decomposition temperature of said forming additive so that the foam is generated which fills the aperture and bonds to surrounding surfaces.
