Provided herein is a dual cure resin useful for the production of an object by additive manufacturing, comprising or consisting essentially of: (a) a photoinitiator; (b) not more than 5, 10 or 20 ppm of a polyurethane catalyst (e.g., tin, tertiary amine, bismuth, zinc, zirconium, or nickel catalysts); (c) a polyol; (d) free (i.e., unblocked) polyisocyanate; and (e) blocked polyisocyanate, the isocyanate groups of which are blocked by reaction with an amine (meth)acrylate blocking agent.

The present application provides a storage-stable polyisocyanate composition and a preparation method. The polyisocyanate composition is obtained by selecting one or more diisocyanate from aliphatic diisocyanates and alicyclic diisocyanates, and reacting same with an alcohol compound; the polyisocyanate composition contains an isocyanurate group, a uretdione group, a carbamate group, and an allophanate group; within the polyisocyanate composition, the molar ratio of the carbamate group/(uretdione group+isocyanurate group) is 0.01-0.2, and preferably 0.01-0.1. Compared to existing techniques, the present application has the advantage of a noticeable increase in system viscosity of uretdione polyisocyanate during storage. With the present application, by means of controlling the ratio of the carbamate group/(uretdione group+isocyanurate group) within the system, the increase in viscosity of a product during storage is inhibited, thereby improving the storage stability of the product.

The present invention provides a carbodiimide composition containing a water-soluble modified polycarbodiimide (A) and a water-insoluble polycarbodiimide (B), a curing agent composition using the same, a coating composition, and a resin cured product.
