  • Patent number: 5306740
    Abstract: Brominated chlorine-substituted poly-1,3-butadiene is produced by a process in which an aqueous chlorine-substituted poly-1,3-butadiene latex is reacted in aqueous phase with a brominating agent in the presence of a radical-forming catalyst and/or in the presence of light at a pH value below 7 and at a temperature of 20.degree. to 95.degree. C., the brominated reaction product is optionally precipitated from the aqueous dispersion obtained and then separated from the aqueous liquid.

  • Patent number: 5252696
    Abstract: The present invention relates to water-dispersible polyisocyanate mixtures whicha) have an average isocyanate functionality of 1.8 to 4.2,b) contain 12.0 to 21.5% by weight of (cyclo)aliphatically bound isocyanate groups (calculated as NCO, molecular weight=42) andc) contain 2 to 20% by weight of ethylene oxide units (calculated as C.sub.2 H.sub.4 O, molecular weight=44) arranged within polyether chains, the polyether chains containing an average of 5.0 to 9.9 ethylene oxide units.The present invention also relates to the preparation of these polyisocyanate mixtures by reacting at an NCO/OH equivalent ratio of 4:1 to 120:1A) a polyisocyanate component having an average isocyanate functionality of 2.1 to 4.4 and containing one or more polyisocyanates in which all the isocyanate groups are (cyclo)aliphatically bound withB) a monovalent polyalkylene oxide polyether alcohol containing an average of 5.0 to 9.9 ethylene oxide units.

  • Patent number: 5237058
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the production of polyisocyanates containing uretdione and/or isocyanurate groups bya) partially oligomerizing the isocyanate groups of organic diisocyanates to form uretdione and/or isocyanurate groups in the presence of catalysts containing trivalent phosphorus,b) terminating the oligomerization reaction at the desired degree of oligomerization by converting the catalyst into a catalytically inactive oxidized form by the addition of an oxidizing agent andc) subsequently removing unreacted diisocyanate by thin-layer distillation.The present invention also relates to the polyisocyanates containing uretdione and/or isocyanurate groups obtained by this process.Finally, the present invention also relates to the use of these polyisocyanates, optionally blocked with blocking agents for isocyanate groups, as the isocyanate component in polyurethane coating compositions.
