  • Patent number: 7906579
    Abstract: A aqueous modified polyisocyanate intended to be dispersed in an aqueous medium for use and obtained by reacting an HDI derivative with (A) a modifying agent composed of a methoxy polyoxyalkylene glycol mainly comprising an ethylene oxide unit, (B) a modifying agent composed of a hydroxyl group-terminated polyoxyalkylene glycol produced by using an alcohol having 8 or more carbon atoms as an initiator and mainly comprising a propylene oxide unit, and (C) a modifying agent composed of an ester compound having at least one hydroxyl group with an alkali metal salt of sulfonic acid introduced therein, wherein the concentration (calculated value) of the alkali metal salt of sulfonic acid derived from the modifying agent (C) is 1.5 to 25 ?mol/g. The aqueous modified polyisocyanate is not only excellent in dispersion stability in water but also excellent in stability of the isocyanate group in water even under temperature conditions of 35 ° C. or higher.

  • Patent number: 7198255
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a liquid bag that makes bubbling possible with a simple structure without increasing the number of parts. The liquid bag according to the present invention includes: a bag main body for containing a liquid, the bag main body constructed of a flexible thermoplastic resin sheet; and a mouth member constructed of a thermoplastic resin, the mouth member sealingly bonded to a part of a periphery of the bag main body. The mouth member has a sleeve-like seal portion sealingly bonded to the bag main body, the seal portion including a first flow path and a second flow path. The first flow path opens and extends along the periphery of the bag main body and the second flow path opens at a bottom surface of the seal portion to an inside of the bag main body.
