Abstract: Radiation-curable, polyester acrylate-containing compositions (I) obtainable by reacting 0.5 to 20 mol % of a polyester polyol (A) and 0.5 to 30 mol % of a polyester diol (B) with 1 to 10 mol % of phthalic anhydride (C) and 65 to 75 mol % of (meth)acrylic acid (D) in the presence of an acidic esterification catalyst, a hydrocarbon (L), and a polymerization inhibitor. Reaction temperatures range from 60 to 140° C. The hydrocarbon (L) functions as solvent, forms an azeotropic mixture with water, and is removed distillatively after esterification. Water formed in the reaction is removed azeotropically. After neutralization of the esterification catalyst, free (meth)acrylic acid is reacted with an epoxide compound (E) in an amount equivalent to the acid number of the reaction mixture. The compound (E) has at least two epoxide groups per molecule. The compositions are suitable for coating the surfaces of solid substrates.

Abstract: Aqueous polymer compositions and their use as coatings are disclosed. A composition includes at least one polyurethane (meth)acrylate A and at least one compound B having a molecular weight of below 1000 g/mol and having at least two ethylenically unsaturated double bonds per molecule. The polyurethane (meth)acrylates A include the following components: component A1 includes at least one polyisocyanate A1a and at least one diisocyanate A1b; component A2 includes at least one compound having at least one ethylenically unsaturated double bond, and at least one functional group F; component A3 includes at least one neutral polyol including at least one aliphatic, polymeric polyol A3a and at least one low molecular weight diol A3b; component A4 includes at least one compound having at least one ionic or ionizable group I? and at least one functional group F?; and component A5 includes at least one poly-C2-C3 alkylene ether.

Abstract: The present invention relates to polyurethanes (A) being obtainable by reaction of (a) 15% to 70% by weight of di- or polyisocyanate comprising on average from 1 to 10 allophanate groups and on average from 1 to 10 C—C double bonds per molecule, and optionally (b) 0% to 60% by weight of further di- or polyisocyanate, with (c) 5% to 50% by weight of compounds having at least two isocyanate-reactive groups, comprising at least one polycarbonate diol with a molecular weight from 500 to 3000 g/mol weight % ages being based on total polyurethane (A), with the proviso that the total is 100%.

Abstract: The invention relates to aqueous polyurethane dispersions that are curable with UV radiation. The polyurethanes are chain-extended with aromatic, cycloaliphatic or aliphatic diamine compound and cross-linked with aliphatic triamine compound. The polyurethanes are useful dispersions for coating various substrates. The use of the invented dispersions results in high hardness, very good flexibility and good chemical resistance in both clear coats and pigmented coatings before and after UV curing combined with very good adhesion to different substrates.
