The present invention provides a system comprising an allophanate composition comprising a neutralized polyol, a polyuretdione resin, a tertiary amine catalyst, an additive package, and a reducer and a neutralized basecoat comprising an acid scavenger and a pigment. The resulting allophanate system may be used to make coatings, adhesives, castings, composites, and sealants in which clear-coating on neutralized pigmented basecoats is much improved in comparison to non-neutralized basecoats.

Curable composition obtained by combining and mixing an epoxy resin composition comprising an epoxy resin, a monool and/or polyol and a compound comprising a carboxamide group, and a polyisocyanate composition comprising a polyisocyanate, a lithium halide and a urea compound, wherein the number of moles of lithium halide per isocyanate equivalent ranges of from 0.0001-0.04 and the number of urea+biuret equivalents per isocyanate equivalent of from 0.0001-0.4. The epoxy resin composition is claimed as well.

The present invention relates to the discovery of new class of hydrolysable amino acid derivatives and absorbable polyester amides, polyamides, polyepoxides, polyureas and polyurethanes prepared therefrom. The resultant absorbable polymers are useful for drug delivery, tissue engineering, tissue adhesives, adhesion prevention, bone wax formulations, medical device coatings, stents, stent coatings, highly porous foams, reticulated foams, wound care, cardiovascular applications, orthopedic devices, surface modifying agents and other implantable medical devices. In addition, these absorbable polymers should have a controlled degradation profile.
