  • Patent number: 5662966
    Abstract: A process for producing an aqueous polyurethane coating is provided. A polyisocyanate, a polyol and a dimethylol alkane acid of the following formula, ##STR1## where R is an alkyl group of 2 to 10 carbon atoms, are simultaneously reacted in the presence of an organic solvent having a boiling point of 50.degree. to 120.degree. C. to thereby prepare an urethane polymer solution. The organic solvent is removed from the urethane polymer solution after the polymer has been dissolved or dispersed in water. The coating is of a substantially solvent-free form without reliance on any solvent having a high boiling point which results in impaired coating environment and reduced coat quality. The coat therefrom is widely useful for construction materials, automotive parts, electrical parts and textile products in particular and also is highly effective for preventing volatile of organic compound from becoming emitted in the atmosphere.

  • Patent number: 5652291
    Abstract: An aqueous dispersion containing urethane vinyl composite resin which exhibits superior dispersability properties. The composite resin is obtained by graft polymerizing vinyl monomers with dispersable polyurethane. The polyurethane exhibits an acid value of at least 20. The dispersable polyurethane is obtained by reacting a urethane prepolymer having isocyanate groups at its end with a polyol compound obtained by the semi-esterification of polycarboxylic acid with benzene rings or its anhydride with trimethylol ethane or trimethylol propane. The urethane prepolymer is produced by reacting polyol compounds with poly-isocyanate compounds and ranges in molecular weight of from about 800 to 3000.
