Abstract: The present invention is directed to coating compositions (pastes) containinga) about 20 to 90% of an aqueous polyurethane dispersion which has a solids content of about 20 to 60% and wherein the polyurethane is rendered hydrophilic by carboxylate groups, sulphonate groups, pendant polyether chains having oxyethylene units, terminal polyether chains having oxyethylene units or mixtures thereof,b) about 0.1 to 5% by weight of a water-soluble, polymeric thickening agent for aqueous polyurethane dispersions which is not a polyurethane and which is free from carboxyl groups,c) about 3 to 80% by weight of water-immiscible organic solvent which is not a solvent for polyurethanes dispersed in water and which has a boiling point up to 250 C.,d) about 0.1 to 5% by weight of a cross-linking agent for the polyurethane dispersed in water which does not contain free isocyanate groups ande) about 0.

Abstract: This invention relates to spreading pastes containing polyurethanes which are prepared from special synthesis components selected from the group of silicone resins, polyethers or polyesters containing aromatic segments or perfluorocarbon resins. The spreading pastes also contain organic solvents and optionally non-solvents for the polyurethanes so that when the coatings are used to coat textile substrates according to the direct or transfer process, the coatings may be cured based on the principle of evaporation coagulation.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to the preparation of optionally pigmented spreading paste based on multiphase mixtures of ionically-modified polyurethanes and/or polyurethane ureas which are prepared from special synthesis components based on silicone resins, aromatic hydroxypolyethers, aromatichydroxy polyesters, and perfluorocarbon resins, the multiphase mixtures additionally containing water and organic solvents for the polyurethanes and/or polyurethane ureas. The present invention is also directed to the preparation of these optionally pigmented spreading pastes and to their use for the production of coatings permeable to water vapor on fabric or leather substrates by the direct or transfer method using the technique of evaporation.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to aqueous dispersion compositions in the form of aqueous, spreadable coating or printing pastes, characterized in that they contain(A) aqueous dispersions of polyurethanes (Aa) or mixtures of polyurethanes (Aa) and aqueous dispersions of poly(meth)acrylates (Ab),(B) carboxyl group-containing, aqueous thickener polymer solutions,(C) self-crosslinking polyorganosiloxane mixture and(D) crosslinking agents for the polyurethanes, for the carboxyl group-containing thickener polymers (B) and, optionally, for the poly(meth)acrylates.The present invention is also directed to a process for the preparation of these aqueous dispersion compositions and to their use for coating or printing substrates.

Abstract: This invention relates to compositions of aqueous polyurethane dispersions containing polyurethanes having lateral OH-groups, optionally in admixture with PU-dispersions without any lateral OH-groups, which contain a combination of formaldehyde resins and blocked polyisocyanates as crosslinking agent and, optionally handle-improving agents, silicones and standard additives.The present invention also relates to the use of these compositions for the production of light coatings by the heat-activated, one-coat reverse coating process, in which the PU-composition is applied to a temporary support and dried, after which the (textile) substrate is laminated onto the dry polyurethane film at elevated temperature and pressure and the polyurethane laminate formed is subsequently crosslinked at a relatively high temperature.Mixed crosslinking with formaldehyde resins plus blocked polyisocyanates makes it possible to obtain coatings characterized by outstanding substrate adhesion and wet strength values.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a process for the preparation of finely dispersed, easily spreadable, aqueous polyurethane reactive coating compositions suitable for coating textile sheet products, artificial leather or leather by the direct or transfer coating process by(i) forming an aqueous dispersion having a solids content of about 20-69 wt. % of blocked isocyanate prepolymers in the presence of from about 0.05-5% by weight of emulsifiers,(ii) adding during or after formation of the dispersion about 0.1 to 2.5% by weight of water soluble thickeners based on long chain polyethylene oxides, salts of poly(meth)acrylic acids or salts of carboxy methyl cellulose, up to 100% by weight of aqueous polymer solutions and/or polymer dispersions and optionally levelling agents, pigments, fillers or stabilizers and(iii) forming a coating composition having a viscosity of from about 3000 to 22,000 mPa.s/25.degree.
