Abstract:
LINEAR THERMOPLASTIC POLYADDITION PRODUCTS WHICH ARE SOLUBLE IN ORGANIC SOLVENTS ARE PROVIDED AND A PROCESS FOR THEIR PREPARATION IN WHICH (1) DIISOCYANATES ARE REACTED WITH (2) COMPOUNDS HAVING A MOLECULAR WEIGHT OF 400 TO ABOUT 8000 AND TWO TERMINAL HYDROXY GROUPS AND (3) THE REACTION PRODUCT OF (A) WATER AND/OR DIOLS HAVING A MOLECULAR WEIGHT BELOW ABOUT 400 AND/OR DIAMINES HAVING A MOLECULAR WEIGHT BELOW ABOUT 400 AND/OR HYDRAZINES HAVING A MOLECULAR WEIGHT BELOW ABOUT 400 AND (B) A LACTAM HAVING THE FORMULA
R-X WHEREIN X IS CH OR NITROGEN WITH THE PROVISO THAT WHEN X IS CH, R IS HYDROGEN AND M IS AN INTEGER OF FROM / TO 9 AND WHEN X IS NITROGEN, R IS AN ALIPHATIC RADICAL, AN ARALIPHATIC RADICAL OR A PYRIDINE RADICAL WHICH MAY ALSO BE SUBSTITUTED WITH A LOWER ALKYL RADICAL AND M IS 3; THE MOLAR RATIO OF CHAIN LENGTHENING AGENT (A) AND LACTAM (B) BEING FROM ABOUT 0.1:1 TO ABOUT 10:1. THE PRODUCTS ARE EMINENTLY SUITABLE FOR COATINGS, LACQUERS AND IMPREGNATIONS.
Abstract:
Light stable polyurethane coatings with a considerably increased softening range and melting points coupled with improved resistance to perchlorethylene is obtained by using a chain extender comprising at least 80 mol % 1,4-diamino cyclohexane with a cis/transisomer ratio of from 10/90 to 60/40.
Abstract:
A process is provided for making a polyurethane mechanical foam adapted to be used as an interlayer between a plastic surface layer and a textile, the process involving frothing a non-ionic aqueous dispersion free from emulsifying agents of a polyurethane having a particle size of less than 1 micron, said dispersion containing more than 45% by weight polyurethane and a thickening agent whereby its viscosity of the dispersion is from about 10 to about 70 seconds with a Ford Cup having a 4 mm orifice to form a foamable mixture, spreading the frothed dispersion into a foamed film, and drying the resulting product.

Abstract:
The instant invention is directed to novel polyurethanes which have a substantially linear molecular structure and which are dispersible in water, and the method of producing such polyurethanes. The polyurethanes of the present invention are characterized by an ethylene oxide unit content of from 0.5 to 10%, by weight, and by an ionic content of from 0.1 to 15 milliequivalents per 100 grams of polyurethane.
