Abstract: The present invention relates to new catalysts for curing solventborne or solvent-free coating compositions, such as 2-component polyurethane coating materials or 2-component polyurethane adhesives.

Abstract: Process for the preparation of etherified melamine/formaldehyde condensates, in which first a methylolation of melamine with a formaldehyde component in the molar ratio of from 1:6 to 1:15, preferably at a pH of >7, is carried out. This is followed by an etherification of the resulting hydroxymethylation intermediate in the presence of a C1-C20-alkyl, preferably of a C1-C6-alcohol, particularly preferably of a C1-C4-alcohol, at a pH of <4.5, and subsequently by at least one distillation step in order to remove in particular methanol from the system, the pH of >9.5 being established before, during and/or after the distillation. According to the invention, a plurality of hydroxymethylation, etherification and distillation steps follow in order to achieve an etherified melamine/formaldehyde condensate which is distinguished by a high degree of hydroxymethylation, a high solids content and a low viscosity.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for preparing polymethylolated melamine and polymethylolated melamine compounds polyetherified with alkanol, wherein the methylolation reaction is carried out in a kneading reactor.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for preparing free-flowing, pulverulent alkoxycarbonylaminotriazine from an alkanolic reaction mixture which is obtained in the preparation of alkoxycarbonylaminotriazines and comprises at least one alkoxycarbonylaminotriazine, at least one cyclic and/or acyclic carbonic ester, at least one C1-C13-alkanol which optionally comprises one or two oxygen atoms in the form of ether bonds and is optionally substituted by C1-C4-alkyl and/or hydroxyl, and also at least one alkali metal or alkaline earth metal alkoxide, with or without melamine and with or without catalyst, by atomizing and drying the reaction mixture in a spray drier.

Abstract: In a process for preparing alkoxycarbonylaminotriazines, di- or triaminotriazines are reacted with cyclic carbonic esters and optionally with minor amounts of acyclic carbonic esters in the presence of an alcohol and of an alkali metal alkoxide or alkaline earth metal alkoxide as a base.

Abstract: Processes comprising: providing an alkanolic reaction mixture, the alkanolic reaction mixture comprising: at least one alkoxycarbonylaminotriazine; at least one carbonic ester; at least one C1-C13-alkanol, which alkanol may further comprise up to two ether-bound oxygen atoms and may further comprise a substituent selected from the group consisting of C1-C4-alkyls and hydroxyls; and at least one alkali metal alkoxide or alkaline earth metal alkoxide; and subjecting the alkanolic reaction mixture to extraction with a polar extractant such that at least a portion of polar/ionic components present in the reaction mixture are removed, wherein the polar extractant is less than entirely miscible with an organic phase of the reaction mixture, to form an alkanolic phase comprising the at least one alkoxycarbonylaminotriazine and a polar phase comprising the polar extractant and the portion of polar/ionic components; and wherein the extraction is carried out with one or more selected from the group consisting of mixer/

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for removing salts from an alkanolic reaction mixture which is obtained in the preparation of alkoxycarbonylaminotriazines and comprises at least one alkoxycarbonylaminotriazine, at least one cyclic and/or acyclic carbonic ester, at least one C1-C13-alkanol which optionally comprises one or two oxygen atoms as ether bonds and is optionally substituted by C1-C4-alkyl and/or hydroxyl, and also at least one alkali metal alkoxide or alkaline earth metal alkoxide, with or without melamine and with or without catalyst, in which salts are removed from the reaction mixture by ion exchange over a cation exchanger and/or anion exchanger.
