Disclosed is the production of isocyanate-based or silane-functional adhesive and/or coating materials in the form of reactive single-component granulates and the use thereof. In particular, the reactive one-component coating-material and/or adhesive granules of the include at least one isocyanate-reactive starting polymer and at least one diisocyanate and/or polyisocyanate. Optionally, the granules of the invention may further include at least one catalyst and/or at least one wax and/or at least one resin and/or at least one preferably non-isocyanate-reactive polymer. The granules of the invention may contain an excess of diisocyanate and/or polyisocyanate which amounts to 0.5% to 30 w %, and is preferably generated by free terminal isocyanate groups.

At least one isocyanate-reactive monomer is reacted with an excess of molten monomeric diisocynate to produce at least one reaction product and a maximum of 0.5 wt % of free isocyanate groups. The reaction product is then mixed with at least 20 wt. %, based on the total weight of reaction product, of at least one isocyanate-terminated prepolymer which is essentially free of diisocyanate monomers and has a viscosity at 20.degree. C. of at least 1.500 mPas, the isocyanate-terminated prepolymer having a content of free NCO groups of up to 25 wt % and containing a maximum of 0.1 wt. % of diisocyanate monomer(s) based on the weight of the isocyanate-terminated prepolymer. A polyurethane composition containing less than 0.1 wt. % of monomeric diisocyanate, based on the total weight of the resulting polyurethane composition, is produced.
