Abstract: N,N'-dialkyl- and diarylphenylenediamines are effective curing agents in combination with other polyamines and polyols in reaction injection molding for a diverse class of polyisocyanates. The diamines provide a broad spectrum of cure times, as well as giving elastomers an interesting and useful diversity of properties. Such polyamines may be used as a constituent in a blend of polyamines as the isocyanate-reactive component, in which case the elastomer may be viewed as predominantly a polyurea, or as a constituent in a blend with polyols, in which case the elastomer may be viewed as an elastomer with both urethane and urea segments.

Abstract: Capped connected branch copolymers are provided comprising a core segment, branched polymer segments attached to the core segment, linear polymer segments attached to the terminals of the branched polymer segments, and cap segments, which comprise residues of an alkylene oxide containing at least 4 carbon atoms and which are attached to the free terminals of the linear polymer segments. These capped copolymers are less water-soluble than the uncapped connected branched copolymers from which they are derived, and are useful in carbonless copying systems as carriers for the color precursor microcapsules. The microcapsules can be applied to the carbonless copying sheet by dispersing the microcapsules in the capped copolymer, heating the copolymer above its transition temperature and spreading the melted copolymer over the sheet. After cooling, the copolymer forms a coherent layer on the sheet.

Abstract: A liquid or viscous curable adhesive composition having a prolonged pot life which is composed of a liquid or viscous curable resin which has, preferably evenly and randomly dispersed therethroughout, a multiplicity of rupturable microcapsules containing a curing agent in an amount sufficient to cure the resin. The microcapsules are rupturable upon the application thereto of external pressure, or other mechanical manipulation. Upon rupture, the curing agent is released into coacting relationship with the curable resin and forms therewith an activated adhesive composition.

Abstract: Cationic paint binders based on polyether urethanes are formed by selective reaction of one NCO-group of a diisocyanate which contains NCO-groups of different reactivities with the primary hydroxyl groups of a polyhydroxypolyether in the presence of 1,4-diazabicyclo-2,2,2-octane (DABCO) as catalyst, and subsequently reacting the remaining NCO-group of the diisocyanate with a secondary amine. The binders which are largely free of low molecular basic by-products are used for formulating paints, particularly cathodically depositable electrodeposition paints, which are water-dilutable after protonation.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the production of polyurethanes wherein a tertiary amine functionality is incorporated into the side chain of an aromatic diamine, preferably a diaminobenzamide, to form a catalytic polyurethane chain extender. These chain extenders are polyurethane catalysts that provide adequate cure without residual odor and safety hazards associated with the more traditional tertiary amine catalysts. When reacted with the isocyanate reactive group the non-tertiary amine portion of the chain extender is bound to the polymeric network. Diffusion of the catalyst species from the polyurethane has been prevented, thus negating odor and toxicity as problems. The aromatic diamine provides enhanced polyurethane physical properties.
