Abstract: A functional aspartate prepared by A) reacting an aziridine with a Michael-acceptor molecule to form an aziridinyl aspartate, and B) reacting the aziridinyl aspartate with an active hydrogen containing compound to form the functional aspartate. The functional aspartate can be used in adhesive, sealant or coating compositions that also include an isocyanate functional material. The composition can be used in a method of bonding a first substrate to a second substrate that includes applying a coating of the above-identified adhesive composition to at least one surface of the first substrate or the second substrate, and contacting a surface of the first substrate with a surface of the second substrate, where at least on of the contacting surfaces has the coating applied thereto. The composition can also be used to coat substrates.

Abstract: An aqueous polyurethane dispersion (PUD) that includes an isocyanate functional prepolymer containing acid functional groups prepared by reacting a polyol containing carboxylic acid functionality and a polyisocyanate. The polyol has a molecular weight (Mn) of from 100 to 10,000, an acid number of 25 to 500 mg KOH/g and a hydroxyl number of from 25 to 500 mg KOH/g. The PUD can be used in coating compositions that also contain a cross-linking agent. The coating compositions can be used coat substrates by applying a mixture of the PUD and cross-linking agent to a surface of the substrates.
