Abstract: Mixture of I. nucleus-unsubstituted or m-substituted N.N-dialkanol arylamides and II. p-substituted arylamines obtained by reaction of I. with diisocyanates and/or dicarboxylic acids work as excellent accelerators in unsaturated polyester resin compositions which then show a favorable pot-life, high stability in storage and rapidly obtainable sandability.

Abstract: Curable two-part flexible film laminating adhesives are prepared from:(a) an alcoholic solution of a ketimine and/or amine terminated polyetherurethane-urea prepared by the addition of at least 50% of the stoichiometric equivalent of a diketimine having --NH functionality of 0, 1 or 3 to an isocyanate terminated polyalkylene ether diol urethane prepolymer; and(b) a polyepoxide in a chain-extending and crosslinking amount of about 10-30% by weight, based on the weight of said ketimine and/or amine terminated polyetherurethane-urea solids. Laminates formed using these adhesives are characterized by rapid curing, high bond strength, superior heat resistance as well as chemical and water resistance.

Abstract: A urea compound having carboxylate radical is obtained by reaction of aminoaminocarboxylate represented by the formula: ##STR1## (where R.sub.1 l is a hydrocarbon-based radical, and R.sub.2 is ethylene radical or a substituted ethylene radical) with diisocyanate, optionally in the presence of diamine and/or water. The reaction may be achieved by interfacial polymerization, solution polymerization, or solvent-free polymerization.

Abstract: A storage stable polyester based polyurethane composition is provided which contains from about 0.05 to 0.75 percent by weight of an organic epoxide compound which has a molecular weight of not less than 60.

Abstract: Process for the production of polyurethanes dissolved in a solvent by mixing linear pre-adducts having terminal NCO groups dissolved in solvents with hydrazines and/or dihydrazine compounds and or diamines dissolved in solvents, for the purpose of forming partially cross-linked polyurethanes, whilst continuously measuring the viscosity until the viscosity shows a value which is located in the shaded zone of the section of curves shown in FIG. 1, the addition of the pre-adduct solution being carried out at such a speed that the final solution has solids content of between 25 and 35 per cent by weight, and coagulation of the obtained solution to fabricated shapes, especially to microporous sheet structures.

Abstract: A polyurethane adhesive, suitable for bonding of shoe uppers to shoe soles, is based on an isocyanateterminated prepolymer made from tolylene diisocyanate, a poly(tetramethyleneoxy) glycol, and a poly(ethyleneoxy) compound having 7-30 ethyleneoxy groups and 1 or 2 hydroxyl groups. This prepolymer can be cured with a mixture of a methylenedianiline/sodium chloride complex with urea at a temperature of 70.degree. C, which is safe for the usual shoe materials. Adhesive compositions containing both the prepolymer and the curing agent have at room temperature a potlife of at least 24 hours.

Abstract: The present invention is concerned with a process for producing biuret polyisocyanates and the polyisocyanates so produced. These isocyanates are produced by the reaction of at least about a four fold molar excess of a diisocyanate having aliphatically bound isocyanate groups with amino alcohols having a particular structure at a temperature between about 90 and 200.degree. C. The amino alcohols contain at least three carbon atoms, have their hydroxyl and amino groups separated by at least two carbon atoms, and may contain urea, urethane, ether or amino bonds. The present invention is also concerned with a process for producing two component and one component moisture curing lacquers using the biuret polyisocyanates of the present invention and the lacquers so produced.

Abstract: This invention relates to a continuous process for the production of polyisocyanate polyaddition products using a multi-phase reaction flow tube as reactor.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the production of polyurethane ureas from a prepolymer which contains isocyanate groups and a mixture of hardeners containing amino groups, in the presence of water, and optionally in the presence of solvents, characterized in that the mixture of hardeners comprises compounds corresponding to the following general formulae:H.sub.2 N--R--NH.sub.2 (A)h.sub.2 n--r--n .dbd. r.sub.1 (b)andR.sub.1 .dbd. N--R--N .dbd. R.sub.1 (C)whereinR represents a divalent aliphatic, cycloaliphatic or araliphatic group having from 2 to 18 carbon atoms and optionally also containing --O-- or ##STR1## (wherein X represents H, --CH.sub.3, --C.sub.2 H.sub.5, --C.sub.3 H.sub.7 or --C.sub.4 H.sub.9) andR.sub.

Abstract: Polyurethanes having a fine particle size are prepared according to a suspension process wherein silicone surfactants are utilized and the polymerization is carried out under agitation in a nonaqueous and a nonsolvent system according to either a two step, or preferably a one step process. The produced suspension-type polyurethanes are generally powders or very small granules and, therefore, can be utilized directly for rotational or spin molding processes wherein they are cured through the use of specific curing agents. Additionally, generally any suspension polyurethanes having a plasticity value of at least 2,000 square mm. at 150.degree. C, can be cured in a rotational or spin molding operation utilizing specific curing agents and curing at a temperature below the decomposition temperature of the polyurethane, for example, below 250.degree. C.
