Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved process for preparing aliphatic oligocarbonate polyols by transesterifying dimethyl carbonate (DMC) with an aliphatic polyol component.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for preparing a coated, heat resistant substrate byI) coating the substrate with a coating composition containinga) a solution or dispersion containinga1) 100 parts by weight of at least one hydroxyl-functional polyacrylate resin in dissolved or dispersed form, wherein the resin has a hydroxyl value of 15 to 200 mg KOH/G solid resin, an acid value of 5 to 250 mg KOH/G solid resin and a total content of chemically incorporated carboxylate and/or sulfonate groups of 8 to 450 milliequivalents per 100 g of solids,a2) 25 to 395 parts by weight of water anda3) 5 to 125 parts by weight of at least one organic solvent having a boiling point or boiling range at 1013 mbar of 100 to 300.degree. C. andb) at least one organic polyisocyanate in a quantity corresponding to an equivalent ratio of isocyanate groups of component b) to isocyanate-reactive groups of component a1) of 0.

Abstract: The invention relates to the use of water-soluble polymers containing chemically bonded tertiary and/or quaternary ammonium groups as auxiliaries for formulating microbicides, the microbicide formulations prepared using these water-soluble polymers and the use of these formulations for preserving industrial materials.

Abstract: An improved aqueous coating agent for providing a decorative and protective coating for wood or wood products contains as a binder polyacrylate resins having chemically incorporated therein air-drying, unsaturated fatty acid moieties and quaternary ammonium moieties, and said agent is prepared by reactingA) excess polyacrylates containing epoxide groups and having an epoxide group equivalent weight of 200 to 1,300 withB) drying fatty acids, in an addition reaction with ester formation,C) reacting at least some of the remaining epoxide groups in the A)-B) reaction product with monoamine ammonium salts which contain an N-H bond in an addition reaction, anddissolving the reaction product obtained from step C) and containing quaternary ammonium groups in water.

Abstract: By adding reaction products of from 4- to 6-hydric alcohols and dicarboxylic acid anhydrides, it is possible to render originally water-insoluble polyesters dilutable with water. Stoving lacquers based on such systems give highly weather-resistant lacquer films.

Abstract: Dianhydromannitol, dianhydrosorbitol, dianhydromannitol semi-esters and dianhydrosorbitol semi-esters are outstanding raw materials for the production of aqueous stoving lacquers based on polyesters.
