Abstract: A moisture cured adhesive comprising a reaction product of an organic polyisocyanate and an organic polyhydroxyl component which comprises at least one polyether polyol which has been modified by radical polymerization or copolymerization with an olefinically unsaturated monomer is disclosed. The reaction product is characterized in that it contains about 2.5 to about 25% by weight of free isocyanate groups and in that the proportion of polymers or copolymers present in the organic polyhydroxyl component is about 1 to about 50 weight % based on the weight of the components. The adhesive in accordance with the invention is characterized by its superior shear strength.

Abstract: Liquid crystalline bis-chlorocarbonic acid esters are 4-hydroxybenzoic acid-(4'-hydroxyphenyl) esters corresponding to the following formula ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 denote, independently of one another, hydrogen, a halogen atom or a C.sub.1 to C.sub.6 alkyl group. Preparation of (I) and liquid crystalline N-alkyl polyurethanes and polycarbonates prepared form (I) are other invention embodiments.

Abstract: Impregnating agents are provided consisting essentially of(a) an NCO-prepolymer or NCO-semi-prepolymer which is curable by atmospheric moisture, with an NCO content of 2 to 25% by weight, based on(a1) an organic polyisocyanateand(a2) a compound with at least 2 alcohol hydroxyl groups,(b) a solvent which is inert with respect to isocyanate groups in which the (a1) organic polyisocyanate is a polyisocyanate with exclusively aliphatically or cycloaliphatically bound isocyanate groups and the a2) polyhydroxyl compound is a polysiloxane of the molecular weight range of 300 to 5000 which has at least 2 alcoholically bound hydroxyl groups.A method of impregnating mineral substrates with such impregnating agents is also provided.
