Abstract:
A coating composition including at least one water-based anionic polyurethane dispersion and 0.1 to 4 weight-% of nanoparticulate TiO2 having an average particle size of not more than 100 nm, based on the solids content of the coating composition. The cured coating composition is suitable as a top coat in a decorative multilayer coating system including at least one polyurethane base coat. The multilayer coating system exhibits improved non-yellowing property and cleanability. The liquid multilayer coating system is particularly suitable for balcony applications.
Abstract:
An amidine containing at least one structural unit of the formula (I) and the use thereof as catalyst for the crosslinking of a functional compound, especially of a polymer having silane groups. The amidine is preparable in a simple process from readily available starting materials, is largely odorless at room temperature and is of low toxicity. It accelerates the crosslinking of functional compounds surprisingly efficiently and can be adjusted for optimal compatibility with different compositions via the radical to which the structural units of the formula (I) is bonded, which means that such compositions do not have a tendency to migration-related defects such as separation, exudation or substrate soiling.
Abstract:
A conversion product which has at least one aliphatic amidine or guanidine group and at least one polysiloxane radical, and the use of the conversion product as a catalyst for cross-linking hardenable compositions, in particular based on polymers containing silane groups. The conversion product is largely odor-free, non-volatile, and of low toxicity. The conversion product accelerates the cross-linking of such compositions surprisingly well, does not impair the stability of such compositions in storage, and is very highly compatible, which means that such compositions do not tend toward separation or migration or evaporation of the catalyst.
Abstract:
A polyaldimine of the formula (I) with advantageous properties in use as latent hardener for compositions including isocyanate groups, and compositions containing the polyaldimine of the formula (I) and at least one polyisocyanate and/or at least one polyurethane polymer containing isocyanate groups. The polyaldimine of the formula (I) is odourless, pH-neutral, liquid at room temperature, has low viscosity, has little sensitivity to heat and moisture, and is stable in storage together with isocyanates. It can provide odourless single-component polyurethane compositions which have good stability in storage and which do not produce bubbles when hardened in the presence of moisture, and which cause no problematic odour emissions, giving a hardened elastic material with good mechanical properties and surprisingly little tendency towards plasticizer migration.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an amidine of the formula (I) and its use as a catalyst for crosslinking a curable composition. The amidine of the formula (I) contains at least one aliphatic amidine group. It is substantially odorless and nonvolatile at room temperature and accelerates the crosslinking of curable compositions very efficiently, without impairing the storage stability of the compositions. It is particularly suitable for compositions based on polymers containing silane groups, with which it is compatible, as a result of which such compositions do not have a tendency to separation or migration or evaporation of the catalyst.
Abstract:
A polymer preparation consisting of silane-functional polymers, including at least one polymer having at least one terminal group of formula (I) and at least one further silane terminal group, a method for producing the polymer preparation and a composition containing it. The polymer preparation has a surprisingly low viscosity, cross-links surprisingly quickly even without the use of EHS-critical catalysts such as organotin compounds or DBU, and hardens into a non-sticky material with good strength and elasticity. It is especially well suited as an elastic adhesive or sealant or as an elastic coating. The invention further relates to a method for lowering the viscosity of a polymer having at least one terminal group of formula (I) by introducing at least one further silane terminal group.
Abstract:
An amine of the formula (I) for use as hardener for epoxy resins, hardeners for epoxy resins containing the amine of the formula (I) and resultant epoxy resin compositions which more particularly can be used as low-emission room-temperature-curing epoxy-resin coatings with high hardness and surface quality. The amine of the formula (I) has little odour and is a very successful diluent for epoxy resin compositions. It is more particularly obtained by reductive alkylation from 1,2-propylenediamine and an aldehyde or ketone.
Abstract:
A catalyst containing at least one amidine or guanidine group of formula (Ia) or (Ib), which is bound to a silicon atom of a siloxane residue. At room temperature, the catalyst is liquid and odourless. It is particularly suitable as a cross-linking catalyst for curable compositions, in particular for silane group-containing compositions. It is particularly good at accelerating the hardening of such compositions without impairing stability in storage, and displays little volatility but good compatibility. As a result, the compositions do not tend towards separation or migration or evaporation of the catalyst.
Abstract:
The invention relates to polymers containing silane groups, to a method for their production and to their use as a component of curable compositions, in particular of moisture-curing sealants, adhesives or coatings that can be applied at ambient temperature, or of hot-melt adhesives containing silane groups. The polymers containing silane groups are obtained in particular by means of a special hydroxysilane which can be produced in particular from the reaction of lactides with aminosilanes.
