Abstract: The present invention relates to the preparation and use of novel polyurethane polyuretidione crosslinking agents in solvent and water borne coatings systems. These polyuretidione polyurethanes are characterized by their relatively low solution viscosity, and the ability to provide a relatively high crosslink density in the final, cured film, and thereby, coatings with the excellent physical properties and resistance to chemical and environmental exposure of known polyurethane systems without the potential for worker exposure to toxic isocyanates. This invention also relates to a process for the production of these polyuretidiones and their use in pseudo-one and two component coating compositions.

Abstract: Disclosed are new coatings compositions based on an HDI isocyanurate or biuret polyisocyanate and a bis(imine) reaction product of a diaminoalkane containing between two and five carbon atoms with an alkyl aldehyde containing between four and seven carbon atoms (advantageously a bis(imine) product of the reaction of 1,4-diaminobutane and isobutyraldehyde). The latter bis(imine) is completely miscible in HDI isocyanurate and biuret polyisocyanates, and, as a reactive diluent, allows the preparation of high performance coatings formulations that require only small amounts of solvents to achieve a conveniently sprayable viscosity.

Abstract: An improvement is disclosed in the preparation of high resilience polyurethane foam. The improvement resides in the use of a select reaction mixture which includes a polyol containing an effectively dispersed finely divided solid particulate material and 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol as a cross-linking agent to stabilize the reaction mixture.

Abstract: A select polyether polyol is used in preparing flexible polyurethane foam having desirable physical properties. The select polyether polyol is an oxypropylated, oxyethylated triol containing an effectively dispersed finely divided solid particulate material. The resulting foam is of utility in various applications, such as cushioning.

Abstract: Polyol compositions containing effectively dispersed particulate material featuring critical dispersion characteristics are used to stabilize foam reaction in high resilience polyurethane foam.
