Provided herein are surface treating compositions for imparting beneficial surface properties to substrates. The compositions can be prepared by reacting a bio-based polyol with an isocyanate and an ionogenic molecule. The compositions can be used to treat a variety of substrates to provide enhanced properties to a surface of the substrate. Also provided are methods for the chemical modification of triglycerides and fatty acids and use thereof in creating beneficial surface treating compositions.

The present invention relates to adhesives which contain a polyester polyol on the basis of furandicarboxylic acid obtained from renewable raw materials, and to a method for bonding substrates, in particular film-like substrates, using said adhesive.

A process for producing a polyester polyol includes the steps of: (a) preparing a diol composition which includes a C.sub.2-C.sub.9 short-chain diol component and a diol monomeric component of Formula (I) defined herein in a weight ratio of the C.sub.2-C.sub.9 short-chain diol component to the diol monomeric component of Formula (I) of larger than 0 and less than 1.6, (b) preparing a dicarbonyl composition which includes one selected from the group consisting of a dicarboxylic acid component, a dicarboxylic anhydride component, and a combination thereof, and (c) subjecting the diol composition and the dicarbonyl composition to a polycondensation reaction.
