  • Publication number: 20120201982
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an aqueous polyurethane coating composition comprising: 1) 1 to 99 wt. % of the reaction product of: a) a polyol component, which is soluble or dispersible in water and is the reaction product of a polyisocyanate component containing 50 to 100 wt. % of an aliphatic diisocyanate, a polyol component containing one or more polyether polyols and having an OH number of 25 to 350 mg KOH/g solids and an isocyanate-reactive component containing at least one group capable of salt formation; and b) polyisocyanate component, which is soluble or dispersible in water, has blocked isocyanate groups and is the reaction product of one or more polyisocyanates having an isocyanurate group content of 0 to 30 wt. %, a reversible, monofunctional blocking agent for isocyanate groups, a nonionic hydrophilic component and a stabilizing component which has 1 to 2 hydrazide groups and a molecular weight of 74 to 300 g/mol; and 2) 1 to 99 wt.

  • Patent number: 7268172
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a composition curable by radiation having a wavelength of 300 nm or more, a method of producing a coated substrate using such composition and the coated product so-produced. More particularly, the composition of the present invention comprises A) from about 1 to about 99% by weight of an unsaturated polymer or oligomer, B) from about 1 to about 99% by weight of an unsaturated epoxy acrylate, C) one or more photoinitiators, and, optionally, D) one or more solvents.

  • Patent number: 7144955
    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.

  • Patent number: 5854301
    Abstract: The present invention relates to ethylenically unsaturated polyurethanes whichi) are substantially free from isocyanate groups,ii) are liquid at 25.degree. C.,iii) have a total content of ethylenically unsaturated groups (calculated as C=C, MW 24) of 1 to 20% by weight andiv) contain the reaction product of 4-isocyanatomethyl-1,8-octamethylene diisocyanate (NTI) with a hydroxyalkyl (meth)acrylate.The present invention also relates to a one-component coating composition containing these ethylenically unsaturated polyurethanes.

  • Patent number: 5545705
    Abstract: The present invention relates to aldimines corresponding to the formulaX.sub.1 --[N.dbd.CHCH(R.sub.1)(R.sub.2)].sub.2whereinX.sub.1 represents the group obtained by the removal of the amino groups from 2-methyl-1,5-pentane diamine,R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 may be the same or different and represent optionally substituted hydrocarbon radicals, or R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 together with the .beta.-carbon atom from a cycloaliphatic or heterocyclic ring.The present invention relates to a clear, solvent-containing coating composition which containsa) an isocyanurate group-containing polyisocyanate which contains less than 5% by weight, based on the weight of component a), of allophanate and uretdione groups andb) an aldimine corresponding to the formulaX.sub.1 --[N.dbd.CHCH(R.sub.1)(R.sub.2)].sub.nwherein X.sub.1, R.sub.1 and R.sub.
