  • Publication number: 20220396657
    Abstract: A poly(meth)acrylate urethane polymer, obtained from the reaction of at least one monomeric diisocyanate and a poly(meth)acrylate polyol having an OH number in the range from 50 to 200 mg KOH/g in an NCO/OH ratio of at least 3/1, followed by removal of a majority of the monomeric diisocyanate by means of a suitable separation method, wherein it has an NCO content in the range from 2.5% to 8% by weight, based on the poly(meth)acrylate urethane polymer, and a residual content of unconverted monomeric diisocyanates of not more than 0.5% by weight, and to the use thereof as additive and to moisture-curing polyurethane compositions.

  • Publication number: 20150353797
    Abstract: The present invention describes a one-part moisture-curing liquid applied waterproofing membrane comprising an MDI-based polyurethane polymer and two different aldimines as blocked amine hardeners in a specific ratio range. The membrane has a low odour, a long shelf life stability, a low viscosity at low solvent content, a sufficiently long open time to allow hand application and cures fast to a solid elastic material. The liquid-applied waterproofing membrane is particularly suitable for roofing applications, possessing high strength, high elongation and good durability under outdoor wheathering conditions in a broad temperature range.

  • Patent number: 7776939
    Abstract: The polymeric nanoparticles including olfactive components have a glass temperature of >50° C. They are obtainable by continuously adding a monomer component and an olfactive component to an aqueous solution. The aqueous solution comprises a first initiator and an emulsifier. The added components are distributed in the aqueous solution to obtain reaction mixture while the polymerization of the monomer component is started at the first temperature. The liquid monomer component and the olfactive component are added continuously while a second initiator is added dropwise to the reaction mixture and the first temperature is maintained. After terminating the addition of liquid monomer component and the olfactive component the temperature of the reaction mixture is increased to a second temperature and a third initiator is added dropwise.
