A coating composition includes an isocyanate compound, an isocyanate-reactive compound, a reactive diluent with (meth)acrylate functionality, optionally a carbon dioxide scavenger and an autooxidation catalyst. Moreover, a method prepares a reactive composition of an isocyanate compound with an isocyanate-reactive compound by adding a reactive diluent with (meth)acrylate functionality, optionally a carbon dioxide scavenger and an autooxidation catalyst. Finally, acrylates and/or methacrylates are used as reactive diluents for the reaction of an isocyanate compound with an isocyanate-reactive compound in the presence of an autooxidation catalyst and optionally a carbon dioxide scavenger.

A heat-curable structural adhesive includes a non-rubber-modified epoxy resin, a reaction product of a carboxyl-or amine-terminated butadiene polymer or copolymer and a bisphenol F-based epoxy resin, a elastomeric toughener containing capped isocyanate groups, one or more epoxy curing agents a moisture scavenger and a heat activatable catalyst comprising a mixture of a solid or liquid tertiary amine compound that has a boiling temperature of at least 130 C. and a novolac resin. The structural adhesive develops excellent bonding properties when cured at moderate temperatures, especially from 120 to 170 C., and in addition performs very well in environmental aging stress testing. The adhesive is particularly good for bonding aluminum to another metal, or bonding aluminum to aluminum.

Disclosed herein are expanded thermoplastic polyurethane beads polymerized from an isocyanate, an isocyanate-reactive compound having a molecular weight between 500 and 10 000 g/mol and a chain extender, wherein customary adjuvants may be additionally present, and the thermoplastic polyurethane has a hard phase fraction ranging from 0.1 to 0.95 and the hard phase fraction is defined by: $\mathrm{Hard}\mathrm{phase}\mathrm{fraction}=\frac{\underset{x=1}{\overset{k}{.Math.}}\left(\left(\frac{m_{\mathrm{KVx}}}{M_{{\mathrm{KV}}_x}}\right).Math.M_{\mathrm{Iso}}+m_{\mathrm{KVx}}\right)}{m_{\mathrm{ges}}}$ where M.sub.KVx represents a molar mass of chain extender x in g/mol, m.sub.KVx represents a mass of chain extender x in g, M.sub.Ixo represents a molar mass of isocyanate in g/mol, m.sub.ges represents a total mass of all starting materials without adjuvants, and k represents a number of chain extenders. Also disclosed herein are processes for producing expanded thermoplastic polyurethanes and processes for producing molded parts therefrom.
