Abstract: A process for producing aqueous polyurethane preparations comprises the steps of: A) providing a solution in at least one solvent of at least one polymeric polyurethane bearing ionizable groups, B) using at least one neutralizing agent to partially neutralize the at least one polymeric polyurethane bearing ionizable groups, C) dispersing the at least one polymeric polyurethane bearing ionizable groups in water, D) optionally removing the at least one solvent, E) optionally diluting the mixture after solvent removal with further water, F) admixing neutralizing agent after solvent removal.

Abstract: Aqueous dispersions comprising a polyurethane composed of (a) diisocyanates, (b) diols, (c) monomers, excluding monomers (a) and (b), containing at least one isocyanate or isocyanate-reactive group and further carrying at least one hydrophilic group to render the polyurethane dispersible in water, d) optionally, polyfunctional compounds, excluding monomers (a) to (c), containing alcoholic hydroxyl, primary or secondary amino, or isocyanate reactive groups, and (e) optionally, monofunctional compounds, excluding monomers (a) to (d), containing an alcoholic hydroxyl, primary or secondary amino, or isocyanate reactive group, obtained by reacting the monomers (a), (b), (c), and, optionally (d) and (e), in the presence of a cesium salt.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for preparing the polyurethane dispersion, the dispersions being obtainable by

Abstract: Compounds containing carbodiimide units and carboxyl or carboxylate groups (compounds V), derived from a) aliphatic or araliphatic C4 to C20 polyisocyanates (component a) b) amino carboxylic acids or amino carboxylic salts (component b) and c) if desired, further compounds which carry groups able to react with isocyanate groups in an addition reaction (component c) d) if desired, other isocyanates (component d), the carbodiimide units deriving essentially exclusively from the isocyanate groups of component (a).
