Abstract: This invention relates to flexible cycloaliphatic diisocyanate trimers and a process for the preparation of these. These flexible products are allophanate-modified, partially trimerized cycloaliphatic diisocyanates and are characterized by a low Tg. More specifically, the Tg of the resultant product ranges from about ?30° C. to about 40° C., after the excess monomer has been removed from the product.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to blocked biuret group-containing polyisocyanate compositions, wherein the blocking agent is of the formula: wherein R1, R2, R3 and R4 may be the same or different and represent a moiety selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, C1-C6-alkyl and C3-C6-cycloalkyl, R5 represents a moiety selected from the group consisting of C1-C10-alkyl and C3-C10-cycloalkyl, and B is a group according to one of the following structural formulas wherein each occurrence of R6, R7, and R8 may be the same or different and represent a moiety selected from the group consisting of C1-C6-alkyl and C3-C6-cycloalkyl and R9 is a moiety selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, C1-C6-alkyl and C3-C6-cycloalkyl.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a non-aqueous composition curable by UV radiation broadly comprising a mixture of two UV curable urethane acrylates. The invention is also directed to a coating process using such composition. One of the urethane acrylates is the reaction product of an isocyanate and a specific OH functional lactone ester (meth)acrylate. The other urethane acrylate is the reaction product of an isocyanate and a specific hydroxy functional (meth)acrylate.

Abstract: Solvent-based, dual cure coatings incorporating thermally curable blocked polyisocyanates, which also contain unsaturated linkages, and a method for preparing these coatings. The unsaturated linkages, such as acrylate groups, can be crosslinked by free-radical mechanisms such as UV curing.

Abstract: The present invention relates to ethylenically unsaturated polyurethanes which are substantially free from isocyanate groups and havea) a content of .beta.,.gamma.-ethylenically unsaturated ether groups (calculated as C.dbd.C, MW 24) incorporated through allophanate groups of 0.5 to 10% by weight,b) an allophanate group content (calculated as N.sub.2 C.sub.2 HO.sub.3, MW 101) of 1 to 20% by weight andc) a total content of ethylenically unsaturated groups of (calculated as C.dbd.C, MW 24) of 1 to 15% by weight.The present invention also relates to ethylenically unsaturated polyisocyanates which contain allophanate groups and havei) an NCO content of 5 to 25% by weight,ii) a content of .beta.,.gamma.-ethylenically unsaturated ether groups (calculated as C.dbd.C, MW 24) incorporated through allophanate groups of 0.5 to 15% by weight andiii) an allophanate group content (calculated as N.sub.2 C.sub.2 HO.sub.3, MW 101) of 1 to 30%.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of blocked polyisocyanates containing isocyanurate groups bya) reacting 20 to 80 equiv. % of the isocyanate groups of an organic diisocyanate with a pyrazole or triazole blocking agent,b) trimerizing the remaining unblocked isocyanate groups in the presence of a basic trimerization catalyst until the isocyanate content is less than 2.5% by weight, based on the weight of the blocked polyisocyanate andc) optionally blocking any remaining isocyanate groups with a blocking agent for isocyanate groups.The present invention also relates to the use of these blocked polyisocyanates for the production of polyisocyanate addition products.

Abstract: The present invention relates to ethylenically unsaturated polyurethanes which are substantially free from isocyanate groups and havea) a total content of (meth)acryloyl groups (calculated as C=C, MW 24) of 1 to 20% by weight.b) an allophanate group content (calculated as N.sub.2 C.sub.2 HO.sub.3, MW 101) of 1 to 20% by weight andc) an isocyanurate group content (calculated as N.sub.3,C.sub.3,O.sub.3, MW 126) of up to 18% by weight,in which the allophanate and isocyanurate groups are prepared from aliphatic polyisocyanates.The present invention also relates to a one-component coating composition containing these ethylenically unsaturated polyurethanes.
