The present invention relates to a modified polyisocyanate and use thereof, in particular as a crosslinking component of water-soluble or water-dispersible coatings. The modified polyisocyanate is obtained by a reaction of a system comprising the following components: at least an aminosulfonic acid; at least a polyisocyanate; at least a tertiary amine; and optionally a polyether alcohol containing an ethylene oxide group. The modified polyisocyanate comprises at least an iminooxadiazinedione structure and at least an isocyanurate structure, the weight ratio of the iminooxadiazinedione structure to the isocyanurate structure being 1:300 to 1:5. The amount of sulfonate group of the modified polyisocyanate is 0.75% by weight to 1.1% by weight, based on the amount of the modified polyisocyanate as 100% by weight. The viscosity thereof is 500 mPa.Math.s to 10000 mPa.Math.s, as determined according to DIN EN ISO 3219:1994-10 at a temperature of 23° C. and a shear rate of 10 s.sup.−1. The coating comprising the modified polyisocyanate of the present invention can be manually stirred well, and the resulting coating layer has high gloss and good transparency.

A single-component sealant or adhesive composition, including: a) an aqueous polymer dispersion comprising water and at least one water-dispersed polymer P having a median particle size D50 of less than 150 nm, b) at least one water-dispersed or water-dissolved epoxy- or carbodiimide-functional cross-linker C, wherein the pH of the composition is adjusted in the range of 7 to 12, and wherein the at least one water-dispersed polymer P is included in the composition with an amount of at least 45 wt.-%, based on the total composition, and wherein the epoxy- or carbodiimide-functional cross-linker C is included in the composition with an amount of between 0.5 and 5 wt.-%, based on the total composition.

The disclosure relates to a thermoset omniphobic composition, which includes a thermoset polymer with first, second, and third backbone segments, urethane groups linking the first and third backbone segments, and urea groups linking the first and second backbone segments. The first, second, and third backbone segments generally correspond to urethane or urea reaction products of polyisocyanate(s), amine-functional hydrophobic polymer(s), and polyol(s), respectively. The thermoset omniphobic composition has favorable omniphobic properties, for example as characterized by water and/or oil contact and/or sliding angles. The thermoset omniphobic composition can be used as a coating on any of a variety of substrates to provide omniphobic properties to a surface of the substrate. Such omniphobic coatings can be scratch resistant, ink/paint resistant, dirt-repellent, and optically clear. The thermoset omniphobic composition can be applied by different coating methods including cast, spin, roll, spray and dip coating methods.

The present invention provides a coating film including a structure represented by formula (I)-1, a multilayer coating film including said coating film and a method for producing the same.
