    Abstract: Polyurethanes are provided which have a polymeric backbone including recurring urethane or urea groups or both and which are reaction products including macroglycols, diisocyanates, and preferably chain extending agents. The polyurethanes may take the form of poly(fluorosilicone urethanes) and include recurring organosilicone moieties from a fluoroalkylsiloxane reactant. When it is desired that these polyurethanes be capable of forming fibers in air, then the reactant charge should be such that the ratio of isocyanate equivalents to hydroxyl equivalents is less than 1.

  • Patent number: 4683271
    Abstract: New siloxane-esters, useful as powder coating resins, are prepared by random condensation polymerization of a hindered glycol and a hydroxy functional silicone having about two ##STR1## groups per molecule wherein R is lower alkyl or phenyl groups and the remaining silicone valences form ring-structured siloxanes. Improved powder properties, including tack temperatures of 150.degree. F. to 220.degree. F., are believed to result in part from the hindered glycols especially those having carboxylic functionality.
