Paint, clear coat, stain, adhesive, or other aqueous formulations that contain at least one [(dimethylamino)alkyl]-imino-dialcohol and a alkyd emulsion, polymer latex or polyurethane dispersion binder. Also disclosed are methods for manufacture and use of these formulations. The [(dimethylamino)alkyl]-imino-dialcohols provide aqueous formulations having low odor and reduced volatile organic compounds (VOC). The [(dimethylamino)alkyl]-imino-dialcohols also aid in dispersing pigment and other solids so less co-dispersant is needed for aqueous paint or coating formulations.

Polyurethanes containing at least one bisphosphonate group, as well as related compositions, articles, and methods, are disclosed.

The present invention relates to an aqueous polyurethane dispersion obtainable by the reaction of at least: (A) one polyisocyanate with two or more isocyanate groups, (B) one polyester component comprising (B1) a polyesterpolyol with a mean molecular weight of 300 to 900 g/Mol, having structural units derived from terephthalic acid, (C) one ionic group introducing compound with at least one sulphonate and/or carboxylate group and at least one isocyanate reactive group, (D) one diol with a mean molecular weight of 62 to 400 g/Mol, (E) one polyol with a mean molecular weight of 62 to 400 g/Mol, having three or more hydroxyl groups, (F) one amino functional and/or aminohydroxyl functional compound, its use to coat a substrate and a coating obtained by using the dispersion.

To provide an image forming set including: an aqueous ink including a colorant, a water-soluble organic solvent, and water; and a post-treatment liquid including a water-soluble organic solvent, water, and at least one of a urethane resin and an acrylic resin, wherein a solubility parameter of a mixed solution of the water-soluble organic solvent and the water in the post-treatment liquid is lower than a solubility parameter of a mixed solution of the water-soluble organic solvent and the water in the aqueous ink by 1.5 (cal/cm.sup.3).sup.1/2 or greater.

An embodiment of the invention provides an anionic/non-ionic water based polymer comprising polyurethane and polyurea. The polymer is approximately 30 to 40 weight percent non-volatile and has a viscosity of between approximately 1400 and 1500 cps. Also provided is a method for producing an anion/non-ionic water based polyurethane/polyurea polymer, the method comprising heating dimethylolpropionic acid; combining the dimethylolproprionic acid with heated PEG to create a slurry; adding isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI) to the slurry to create a mixture; and heating the mixture in the presence of a catalyst. The prepolymer is then salted out after catalyst is added and reaction complete. This salted prepolymer is then added to ethylene diamine in water to chain extend and promote water solubility. Also provided is a film comprising the polymer.

A two-component polyurethane composition comprising a polyisocyanate and an emulsion polymer having greater than 2.2% of hydroxy groups in the emulsion polymer and comprising structural units of a polymerizable surfactant, a first hydroxy-functional monomer, an acid monomer and/or a salt thereof, an additional monoethylenically unsaturated nonionic monomer, and optionally a second hydroxy-functional alkyl (meth)acrylate; the two-component polyurethane composition providing improved alcohol resistance without compromising both acid and alkali resistance.

The present invention relates to a two-component system comprising a component A) comprising at least one polymeric polyol which has an OH content of ≤4.5 wt %, based on the total solids content of the polymeric polyol, and a component B) comprising at least one polyisocyanate which has a number average isocyanate group functionality of ≥4.0 to ≤10.0, based on the total solids content of the polyisocyanate, a fraction of ≤25 wt %, based on the total solids content of the polyisocyanate, of oligomers containing isocyanate groups and having a number-average molecular weight of ≤780 g/mol, and an isocyanurate group fraction of ≥5 mol % to ≤70 mol %, based on the total amount of isocyanurate groups and allophanate groups in the polyisocyanate. The invention further relates to a method for producing a coating on a substrate, to the coating obtainable by this method, and to the coated substrate.

The present invention relates to novel coatings which are applied from an aqueous phase to substrates such as plastics, and which are overlaid with other coatings. These coatings are characterized by particularly good adhesive strength, in particular on plastics, and are thus particularly commercial.

A water comprising, two component polyurethane dispersion adhesive comprising an anionic polyester polyurethane resin and a solvent-free liquid aliphatic polyisocyanate cross-linker. The dispersion can be reactivated one or more times for edge bonding a flexible sheet material onto a substrate having a main surface, a peripheral surface and an edge connecting the main surface and the peripheral surface.

The invention provides a waterborne polyurethane emulsion and preparation method and use thereof. The method comprises the steps of: heating and dehydrating a macromolecular diol, and then reacting with a first polyisocyanate to obtain a first prepolymer; reacting the first prepolymer with a second polyisocyanate to obtain a second prepolymer; reacting the second prepolymer with a hydrophilic chain extender and a small-molecule chain extender to obtain a third prepolymer; reacting the third prepolymer with a salt forming agent, followed by emulsification upon addition of a post-chain extender, and by desolvation to obtain a polyurethane emulsion; wherein the molar amount of the first polyisocyanate is less than that of the second polyisocyanate, and the molar ratio of the first polyisocyanate to the macromolecular polyol is less than 1:3. The condom prepared using the polyurethane emulsion of the present invention has the characteristics of high elasticity and high strength.
