The present invention relates to processes for the manufacture of aqueous polyurethane/acrylic hybrid dispersions that can be used as adhesives or coatings, are solvent free and have low VOC emissions, and are environmentally friendly. Also encompassed are the dispersions as such, compositions containing them and their use as coatings and adhesives.

An aqueous dispersion of polyurethane resin is obtained by a chain elongation reaction in water wherein (C) at least one chain extender selected from a group consisting of water-soluble polyamines, hydrazine and derivatives thereof is added to a dispersion liquid obtained by emulsifying and dispersing a mixture in water. The mixture comprises: (B) at least one compound selected from the phosphorous compounds represented by the following formula (1) and (A) an urethane prepolymer and/or a neutralized urethane prepolymer material which has an isocyanate group at the terminal. The urethane prepolymer of component (A) is an urethane prepolymer obtained from (a1) an organic polyisocyanate and (a2) a polymeric polyol. The neutralized urethane prepolymer material of component (A) is a neutralized material obtained by neutralizing an urethane prepolymer which is obtained by further using (a3) a compound having an anionic hydrophilic group and at least two active hydrogens in a molecule together with the components (a1) and (a2).

A photo-curable composition can include a photo-curable resin and a photoinitiator. The photo-curable composition can typically have a shear viscosity of less than 1 Pa.Math.s at 100° C. at a shear rate of 50 s.sup.−1 and can typically include a first prepolymer, a second prepolymer, and a reactive diluent.

Silicone polyurea block copolymers are prepared by copolymerizing: (a) a diamine composition that includes a polyethylene glycol diamine, and optionally, a dipiperidyl alkane; (b) a monofunctional silicone isocyanate; and (c) a diisocyanate. Compositions useful as passivating coatings comprising the block copolymer are also provided, and substrates coated with the compositions. Methods of preparing and using the compositions are also described.

The present disclosure provides: an adhesive composition capable of realizing good adhesion even when neither resorcin nor formalin is included therein; and a rubber-organic fiber cord composite and a tire, which are excellent in adhesion between rubber and organic fiber cords and make a low impact on the environment. Specifically, the present invention provides an adhesive composition for an organic fiber cord, comprising therein: an epoxy compound (A); a compound (B) having an amide group and an amino group per molecule; and rubber latex (C). Further, the present disclosure provides a rubber-organic fiber cord composite, comprising a rubber member and an organic fiber cord, wherein at least a portion of the organic fiber cord is coated with the adhesive composition described above.

A polyurethane dispersion PUD comprises at least one polyurethane P based on at least one polyisocyanate and at least one polyester polyol PES, wherein the polyester polyol PES is based on at least one polyhydric alcohol A and at least one dicarboxylic acid D, wherein at least one polyhydric alcohol A and/or at least one dicarboxylic acid D were at least partly derived from renewable raw materials.

The present invention relates to a process for producing polyaspartic ester compositions by reacting cyclic ethers bearing primary amino and/or primary aminoalkyl groups with fumaric and/or maleic esters, to the polyaspartic ester compositions thus obtainable, and to the use thereof in two-component coating compositions.

Implementations described herein relate to an etheramine mixture containing a cyclobutane based amine and its method of production by alkoxylating an initiator with an alkylene oxide to produce a precursor polyol and reductively aminating the precursor polyol to form the ehteramine mixture. The etheramine mixture may be used in a variety of applications including as a curing agent for an epoxy resin or as a reactant in the production of polyurea materials.
