  • Patent number: 9688879
    Abstract: The present invention provides a cross-linking non-fluoro hydrophobic aqueous polyurethane dispersion, which is produced by selecting a compound comprising alcohols, amines, acids, saturated or unsaturated (double-bonded or epoxidized) aliphatic long chain carbon-carbon groups or polydimethylsiloxane comprising alcohol groups, amines, oxosilane to be reacted with IPDI to obtain a PU prepolymer; adding a compound having tertiary amines to neutralize the carboxylic acid of PU prepolymer and adding water to disperse the PU prepolymer; and adding a ambient temperature cross-linking agent to obtain a cross-linking hydrophobic aqueous PU dispersion of the present invention. The hydrophobic aqueous-based PU resin has no fluorine which is friendly to the environment, and may further self cross-links on its applications on fabric, paper, wood, glass and metal surfaces, respectively on drying at ambient temperature which is energy saving process.

  • Patent number: 8815970
    Abstract: A method of preparing polyurethane prepolymer does not require using a toxic isocyanate monomer (manufactured by harmful phosgene) as a raw material. Epoxy resin and carbon dioxide are used as major raw materials to form cyclic carbonates to be reacted with a functional group oligomer, and then amino groups in a hydrophilic (ether group) or hydrophobic (siloxane group) diamine polymer are used for performing a ring-opening polymerization, and the microwave irradiation is used in the ring-opening polymerization to efficiently synthesize the amino-terminated PU prepolymer, and then an acrylic group at an end is added to manufacture an UV cross-linking PU (UV-PU) oligomer which can be coated onto a fabric surface, and the fabric is dried by UV radiation for a surface treatment to form a washing-resisted long lasting hydrophilic or hydrophobic PU fabric.

  • Patent number: 8053488
    Abstract: An ambient temperature curable hydrophilic PU oligomer includes a PU pre-polymer having a hydrophilic center group and a curable terminated group. The ambient temperature curable hydrophilic PU oligomer includes the moisture-curable hydrophilic PU oligomer such as isocyanate-terminated PU pre-polymer and free-radical curable hydrophlic PU oligomer. The isocyanate-terminated PU pre-polymer is synthesized by mixing at least one multi-isocyanate, at least one polyol and one or more diol monomer with hydrophilic group. The acrylate-terminated PU oligomer is synthesized by adding 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) into the isocyanate-terminated hydrophilic PU pre-polymer. Either acrylate- or isocyanate-terminated PU oligomer can be applied on a textile or a glass surface with a thin-layer coating technology. The curing reactions of these hydrophilic thin-layer coatings are carried out with moisture or UV-radiation, respectively, at ambient temperature.
