Abstract:
Compounds having alcoholic hydroxyl groups are esterified with acrylic or methacrylic acid in the presence of copper(II) salts or mixtures thereof as polymerization inhibitors and in the presence of a hydrocarbon as a water-entraining agent with removal of the water of reaction at from 90 to 150° C. After the esterification, the copper salt is precipitated as copper sulfide and is separated off from the ester. The light-color (meth)acrylates resulting in the high yields are particularly suitable for coatings containing colored pigment on substrates such as wood, paper, mineral building materials, plastics or metal.
Abstract:
Radiation-curable formulations comprising i) at least one aliphatic, urethane-functional prepolymer which on average has at least two ethylenically unsaturated double bonds, ii) at least one monofunctional ester of an &agr;,&bgr;-ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid with a monofunctional alkanol which has a saturated, carbocyclic or heterocyclic structural element, and iii) if desired, a di- or polyfunctional ester of an &agr;,&bgr;-ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid with an aliphatic di- or polyol are used to coat substrates.
Abstract:
A mixture of acrylic or methacrylic compounds, containing from 40 to 95% by weight, based on the total amount of the acrylic or methacrylic compounds, of epoxide (meth)acrylates, is obtainable by a process comprising the process stepsa) esterification of hydroxy compounds with acrylic acid or methacrylic acid,b) if required, subsequent addition of further acrylic acid or methacrylic acid andc) subsequent reaction of the excess acrylic or methacrylic acid with epoxides in the presence of the esterification product of a).
