  • Publication number: 20050222292
    Abstract: Solvent-containing formulations including NCO-containing prepolymers based on TDI isocyanurate polyisocyanates and diphenylmethane diisocyanates where some prepolymers are prepared using a polyetherdiol containing ethylene oxide blocks and having an ethylene oxide content of from 2 to 18% by weight, based on all the alkylene oxide units. The formulation have an NCO content of 1% to 7% by weight, a solids content of 20% to 70% by weight, a monomeric TDI content of less than 0.2% by weight and a monomeric methylenediphenyl diisocyanate content of less than 2% by weight. The solvent-containing formulations can be prepared in organic solvents by reacting at least one of A) a TDI component comprising TDI isocyanurate polyisocyanates and B) an MDI component comprising diphenylmethane diisocyanates with C) a polyetherdiol. The solvent-containing formulations can be used in moisture-curing coating compositions, adhesive bonds and/or seals with substrates.

  • Patent number: 6903156
    Abstract: The present invention relates to light fast, aqueous, strippable coating compositions containing A) 40 to 90 wt. %, based on resin solids of A) and B), of aqueous polyurethane-polyureas and B) 10 to 60 wt. %, based on resin solids of A) and B), of polymers prepared from radically polymerizable monomers, wherein the percentages of A) and B) add up to 100, based on the weight of resin solids of A) and B). The present invention relates also to substrates coated with these strippable coating compositions. In addition, the present invention relates to the use of the stripped coatings as recycled material by mechanically comminuting the stripped coatings, optionally after cleaning, and then either pressing them in heatable presses to form sheets, or extruding them in an extruder to form endless thermoplastic threads, and then processing the resulting threads by known granulating methods to form cylindrical, spherical, lenticular or rhombic granules.
