The crosslinking agents contain a single urea group, at least two hydroxyl groups, and have at least two carbon atoms disposed between the urea group and each of the hydroxyl groups. The compositions contain a poly-functional molecule which contains at least two functional groups selected from the group consisting of carboxyl, anhydride and amine.

Process For Making Aqueous Polyurethane Dispersions

View page
US Patent:
57170240, Feb 10, 1998
Filed:
Feb 23, 1996
Appl. No.:
8/606370
Inventors:
Pravin K. Kukkala - Raritan NJ
Andrew J. Kielbania - Chalfont PA
Andrew P. Full - Somerville NJ
Antonios Tontisakis - Englewood Cliffs NJ
Assignee:
National Starch and Chemical Investment Holding Corporation - Wilmington DE
International Classification:
C08J 300
C08K 320
C08L 7500
US Classification:
524591
Abstract:
A process for preparing aqueous dispersions of polyurethanes comprises dispersing polyurethane prepolymer containing unreacted --NCO functionality in water with moderate agitation at a temperature at or below 65. degree. C. , preferably at or below 38. degree. C. , and more preferably within the range 38. degree. -25. degree. C. ; simultaneously reducing the agitation to a mild rate and maintaining the temperature within the range 38. degree. -85. degree. C. , preferably, 60. degree. -65. degree. C. , until the reaction of --NCO with water levels off; adding an effective amount of a quenching agent to react with sufficient --NCO functionality to reduce the number of available --NCO groups that can react with water so that the evolution of CO. sub. 2 is reduced or eliminated during storage of the polyurethane dispersion; and at any of the previous sequential steps adding an effective amount of a deaerating agent to reduce or eliminate CO. sub. 2 foaming or to liberate any dissolved CO. sub. 2 gas.

A61K 700
US Classification:
424 701
Abstract:
