Abstract: A process of making radically polymerizable compositions suitable for the production of impact resistant optically clear glass like plastic and forming the glass from such compositions is disclosed. Also taught are the polymerizable compositions and the final glass produced. An isocyanate terminated prepolymer based upon a polyol selected from polyesters, polyester amides, polycarbonates and polyacetals and diisocyanates selected from branched aliphatic isocyanates, cycloaliphatic isocyanates and aliphatic or cycloaliphatic isocyanates graft polymerized with vinyl monomers is chain extended with aliphatic or cyloaliphatic diamines while in solution in vinyl monomers consisting mainly of methacrylic acid esters. The chain extension is carried out with a deficit of amine and preferably to a viscosity at 20% solids in the vinyl monomers of between 200 and 30,000 cP at 20.degree. C. The composition is then radically polymerized to form the high impact glass like plastic alloy.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a new process for the preparation of polyisocyanates containing isocyanurate groups by the partial trimerization of the isocyanate groups of 1-isocyanato-3,3,5-trimethyl-5-isocyanatomethyl-cyclohexane (also known as isophorone diisocyanate and abbreviated IPDI), using catalysts which accelerate the trimerization of isocyanate groups, characterized in that the catalysts used are quaternary hydroxyalkyl ammonium hydroxides containing at least one hydroxyalkyl group. The present invention also relates to the polyisocyanates containing isocyanurate groups produced according to this process and to their use, optionally in the form of products which are blocked with blocking agents for isocyanate groups, as isocyanate components for polyurethane lacquers.

Abstract: This invention relates to a new process for the preparation of new organic polyisocyanates having at least three isocyanate groups and containing allophanate groups, to the polyisocyanates obtainable by this process, and to their use as components for the production of polyurethane resins.
