A polyurethane or polyurethane urea has a graft chain having a specific structure. Two functional groups included in the specific structure are each an alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, an aryl group having 6 to 12 carbon atoms, or an aralkyl group having 7 to 20 carbon atoms and may be the same or different from each other.

A moisture-curable composition having flame retardant properties and to the use thereof as an adhesive, sealant or coating. The composition according to the invention contains at least one moisture-reactive polymer in a proportion of 10% to 50% by weight, at least one precipitated, surface-coated aluminum trihydrate in a proportion of 30% to 60% by weight and in preferred embodiments up to 25% by weight of at least one phosphorus-containing compound and up to 20% by weight of at least one carbon additive. The inventive moisture-curable composition has excellent flame retardant properties and after curing remains resistant for a long time at high heat levels.

The present invention provides an anti-pilling wool fabric with a coating having pilling resistance and resistance to fiber loss from fabric surface. The coating is formed by a coating formulation including at least two diisocyanates, at least two catalyst, a water dispersing agent, a buffer and water, which provides a polycarbodiimide crosslinker reactive to the relative less reactive groups on polypeptide of the wool fabric and promotes crosslinking between polypeptides of the wool fabric under relatively mild processing conditions so as to enhance mechanical strength of the wool fabric whilst no significant effect of the original finish merino wool fabric and/or garment and fiber loss from fabric surface are observed, compared to conventional treatment methods on wool fabric. A corresponding coating formulation and method of fabricating the anti-pilling wool fabric are also provided. The present invention is applicable to finished wool fabric which fibers are already with colorant(s), and/or dye(s), and/or reactive dye(s).

The present invention is drawn to an aqueous polyurethane dispersion comprising: —anionic polyurethane particles comprising both free pending carboxylate groups of formula —COO.sup.−M.sup.+ where M.sup.+ is a cation resulting from neutralization of carboxylic acid groups with a base, and pending carboxylate ester groups resulting from esterification of free carboxylic acid groups with an epoxysilane, —crosslinking particles made of water-insoluble transition metal compounds. It is also drawn to a method of coating a substrate comprising applying such an aqueous polyurethane dispersion onto a substrate and letting it dry, preferably without applying any heat or radiation.
