  • Publication number: 20120316286
    Abstract: A water-dispersible, cyclocarbonate-functionalized vinyl copolymer binder, a process for the preparation of the binder, an aqueous dispersion containing the binder, a system comprising the binder, water and an (amine) curing agent and the use of the binder for the production of a hardened coating are proposed. It was surprisingly found that this binder, in which the emulsifier groups according to the invention are incorporated in the polymer chain, gives stable aqueous dispersions having a solids content of up to a 30% by weight.

  • Patent number: 8178167
    Abstract: The invention relates to humidity hardening compounds containing at least one polyurethane polymer, P, exhibiting an isocyanate group, at least one polyimine ALD of Formula (I) of at least 22% by weight, in relation to the sum of the components of the compound which contain the isocyanate group, as well as, if necessary, a polyisocyanate oligomer OP. The humidity hardening compound is particularly suitable for providing coatings and linings. The use of the imines makes possible VOC-free or VOC-poor compounds, which is a substantial advantage for indoor applications.

  • Publication number: 20110309533
    Abstract: The proposed spinning disc reactor comprises substantially a horizontally rotatable, disc-like and thermostatable support element which has an outer reaction surface, feed means for feeding at least one reactant onto the reaction surface and internal structures for thermostating the reaction surface. In addition, it contains at least one separation apparatus for collecting and removing the reaction product from the reaction surface. The support element is characterized in particular in that it consists of two components a) and b) arranged horizontally one on top of the other and having substantially identical surface measures. These two components are connected to one another in an interlocking manner and tightly during the operating time and the lower component a) has, on its top facing the inner region of the support element, at least one substantially uninterrupted groove milled in over an extensive area and intended for receiving, conducting and discharging a heat-transfer fluid.
