  • In-mold composite surfacing film
    Patent number: 12636858
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to an in-mold surfacing film for structural composites, in the form of a thermally curable multi-layer film comprising: (a) a release carrier, (b) a surfacing film layer overlying the release carrier, wherein the surfacing film layer comprises an OH-functional polyurethane and a thermally activatable curing agent which can react with the OH groups at a temperature higher than 120° C., and (c) a release liner. Also disclosed is a method for preparing a composite article in-mold using a prepreg and the multi-layer film.
    Type: Grant

  • Water borne soft-feel coating composition
    Patent number: 8313837
    Abstract: The invention relates to a water borne coating composition comprising a polyurethane and a polyisocyanate, wherein the composition further comprises a compound having a molecular weight of at most 1,000 and having at least two isocyanate-reactive groups, with the proviso that said compound having a molecular weight of at most 1,000 and having at least two isocyanate-reactive groups is not a poly(ethylene glycol), and that the polyurethane differs from the material formed by reaction of the polyisocyanate and the compound having a molecular weight of at most 1,000 and having at least two isocyanate-reactive groups.
