Abstract: The present invention relates to a two-component coating composition comprising one first saturated polyhydroxy component, optionally one second saturated polyhydroxy component, wherein the second polyhydroxy compound is different from the first polyhydroxy compound, at least one metal component, water and at least one polyisocyanate. The resulting composition offers excellent scratch resistance, better mechanical properties and good applicability.

Abstract: Textile nonwovens are produced without formaldehyde by employing a polymer binder which is a copolymer of vinyl acetate, ethylene, (meth)acrylamide, (meth)acrylic acid and maleic acid or anhydride or maleamic acid.

Abstract: A microencapsulated polyaddition catalyst comprises a capsule core, containing polyaddition catalyst, and an acrylic copolymer capsule shell, the acrylic copolymer comprising copolymerized units of an intermolecular anhydride of an ethylenically unsaturated C3-C12 carboxylic acid. The polyaddition catalyst is selected from acyclic tertiary amines, alicyclic tertiary amines, N-alkylimidazoles, phosphines and organic metal salts. It is suitable for catalysing the reaction of a polyol compound with a polyisocyanate compound. The polyaddition catalyst is released by a chemical stimulus, such as on contact with polyols or water, for example.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for producing a ring-opening polymerization product by reacting at least one polyisocyanate and 2-oxo-1,3-dioxolane-4-carboxylic acid and subjecting the reaction product to a temperature within the range of from about 40 to about 150° C. in the presence of a catalytic amount of at least one non-nucleophilic base. The obtained polymerization product may be present as a foam and is suitable as binder, insulation material, sealant or coating and in the production of mattresses or wound pads.

Abstract: The present invention suggests a curable organic polymer comprising at least one acylurea unit represented by structural formula (I): Moreover, the present invention suggests a process for the preparation of said polymer and the use of said curable organic polymer for the preparation of a cured composition and for the preparation of hydroxyurethanes.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for preparing a compound of the formula (I) with a specific definition of the substituent R3 a mixture and also a corresponding application/use.

Abstract: The invention relates to coatings which can be obtained by adding mercapto groups to acrylates and/or by a radiation curing process, said coatings having good properties, to methods for producing same, and to the use thereof.

Abstract: The present invention suggests 2-oxo-1,3-dioxolane-4-carboxamides of formula (I), in which R2 can be, inter alia, an n-valent radical (n>1) which is substituted with n?1 further 2-oxo-1,3-dioxolane-4-carboxamide groups of general formula (II), to processes for the preparation of these 2-oxo-1,3-dioxolane-4-carboxamides, to processes for the preparation of the 2-oxo-1,3-dioxolane-4-carboxylic acids of formula (III), which are suitable starting materials for the above processes, and to the use of said 2-oxo-1,3-dioxolane-4-carboxamides for the preparation of (poly)hydroxyurethanes, -hydroxycarbonates and -hydroxysulfanylformates, and also as end groups for the blocking of amines.
