Abstract: A method of chemically stripping a surface is described. The method comprises applying a sealant to at least a portion of a surface of an object, the surface comprising a coating and one or more ingression points, the sealant filling the one or more ingression points to form a sealed surface. The method further comprises applying a stripping agent to the sealed surface to remove at least a portion of the coating to form a stripped surface.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to polyisocyanates which have improved compatibility with polyester coreactants and improved solubility in apolar solvents, the polyisocyanates containing, based on solids,(a) about 15 to 85 wt. % of an isocyanurate group-containing polyisocyanate based on hexamethylene diisocynate and(b) about 15 to 85 wt. % of a biuret group-containing polyisocyanate based on hexamethylene diisocyanate.The present invention is additionally directed to two-component polyurethane coating compositions based on the above polyisocyanates and branched polyester polyols. Finally, the present invention is directed to a process for preparing the polyisocyanate.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a stable, aqueous dispersion of polyurethane-ureas wherein said polyurethane-ureas contain(i) about 10 to 120 milliequivalents per 100 grams of polyurethane-urea of chemically incorporated anionic groups, and(ii) up to about 10% by weight, based on the weight of the polyurethane-urea, of lateral and/or terminal hydrophilic chains containing ethylene oxide units,wherein the counterions of the anionic groups are a mixture of volatile and non-volatile cations in an equivalent ratio of about 1:4 to 4:1.The present invention is also directed to the coatings and films prepared from these dispersions.
