Abstract: The present invention relates to an aqueous polyurethane or polyurethane-urea dispersion comprising a polyurethane or a polyurethane polyurea dispersed therein, wherein the polyurethane or polyurethane polyurea comprises terminal carboxyl groups and lateral sulfonate and/or carboxylate groups.

Abstract: Powder mixtures for powder coatings comprising: (A) a non-blocked, micronized, cycloaliphatic diisocyanate-derived polyisocyanate which is solid below 40° C. and liquid above 120° C. and has an average particle size d50 of below 10 ?m; (B) a pulverulent binder component having an average particle size d50 of below 100 ?m, comprising 25 to 75 wt. % of at least one amorphous polyol (B1) and 75 to 25 wt. % of at least one crystalline or semicrystalline polyol (B2); and, (C) optionally, one or more powder coating auxiliary substances and additives; processes for preparing such mixtures; powder coating obtained therefrom and substrates coated therewith.

Abstract: Preparations of surface-deactivated solid isocyanates which are dispersed in finely particulate manner, with aqueous isocyanate-reactive polymer dispersions that include a) dispersed polymers having isocyanate-reactive groups, b) dispersed surface-deactivated oligomeric solid polyisocyanates, and c) at least one catalyst, where the catalyst or the totality of catalysts accelerates the reaction of the monomeric polyisocyanates which form by the thermal cleavage of the oligomeric polyisocyanates more strongly than the thermal cleavage itself. The preparations are prepared by mixing aqueous dispersions of at least one isocyanate-reactive polymer with at least one dispersed surface-deactivated oligomreric solid polyisocyanate and at least one catalyst. The preparations can be used in binders, films and powders for bonded joints, or coatings and to make a latently cross-linking adhesive layer. Substrates can be coated with layers obtainable with the above-described preparations.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an aqueous dispersion containing an isocyanate-reactive polymer and a polyisocyanate, wherein the polyisocyanate has a melting or softening point of >30° C. and is in the form of a finely divided powder having a mean particle diameter of less than 100 &mgr;m. The present invention also relates to an adhesive composition containing this dispersion and to a process for bonding substrates with this composition.

Abstract: The invention relates to improved hydrophilic, polyurethane gel substances and foams, the use of polyurethane gel substances for pressure-distributing, in particular self-adhesive polyurethane-(foam) gels, and the use of said polyurethane gel substances for moulded structures and adhesive coatings.
