The present invention relates to a one-component processing method and system for preparing polyurea materials. This method and system involves a polymerization process using cyclic oligomeric polyurea precursors. These cyclic oligomeric precursors have dynamic urea bonds such as hindered urea bonds (HUBs). These cyclic oligomeric precursors exhibit dynamic properties to reversibly dissociate .sub.in situ yielding isocyanate and amine components which polymerize to yield the polyureas, such as linear, branched or cross-linked polyureas. This method and system has advantages over conventional methods that utilize two-component systems. Such two-component systems require the segregation of the isocyanate and amine components to prevent premature or too rapid polymerization. The resulting polyureas are useful for a variety of applications including coatings.

The present technology provides a polyurethane composition including: a main agent; and a curing agent, wherein the main agent includes a urethane prepolymer having an isocyanate group, a morpholine compound having one morpholine ring, and an ether compound having two dimethylamino groups, and the curing agent includes an active hydrogen compound having two or more active hydrogen-containing groups in one molecule.

The invention relates to aqueous polyurethane dispersions that are curable with UV radiation. The polyurethanes are chain-extended with aromatic, cycloaliphatic or aliphatic diamine compound and cross-linked with aliphatic triamine compound. The polyurethanes are useful dispersions for coating various substrates. The use of the invented dispersions results in high hardness, very good flexibility and good chemical resistance in both clear coats and pigmented coatings before and after UV curing combined with very good adhesion to different substrates.
