Abstract: Reaction products of polyepoxides with amines followed by reaction with polyalkyleneoxide modified and/or polyester-modified and/or polyether-polyester-modified isocyanates give comblike aminic polymers, and their salts. The compounds are useful as wetting and dispersing agents for organic and inorganic pigments, and as fillers for aqueous and solvent-borne systems.

Abstract: Addition compound suitable as a wetting and dispersing agent and obtainable from the reaction of A) polyepoxides with B) at least one aliphatic and/or araliphatic primary amine of the general formula I H2N—R??I where R is alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl and aralkyl, and where the primary amine may also carry further functional groups selected from —OH, tertiary amine or carboxyl, and subsequent addition reaction of C) at least one modified isocyanate of the general formula IIa and/or IIb where R3 is alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl or aralkyl, R1 and R2 independently of one another are H, alkyl and/or aryl, X is alkylene, cycloalkylene and/or aralkylene, Y is alkylene and/or cycloalkylene and n and m are independent of one another, the sum n+m being ?2, to form a urethane.
