Abstract:
Disclosed is a liquid composition comprising a homogeneous reaction product of a hydrophobic polyol and an organosilicon-containing material. The organosilicon-containing material comprises an organosilicon-containing substance free of functional groups attached to carbon and essentially free of alkali metal ions, having atoms bonded directly to silicon, all of which atoms are selected from O, N, and/or Cl. The organosilicon-containing substance additionally has moieties directly bonded to silicon which are displaceable by reaction with water and/or alcohol. At least a part of the organosilicon-containing substance is hydrolyzed to a compound or a mixture of compounds containing a residual amount of the moieties directly bonded to silicon which are displaceable.The reaction product is not capable of being gelled according to a specific three-step gel test; has a ratio of milliequivalents of the residual displaceable moieties to milliequivalents of hydroxyl moieties from the polyol greater than 1, and is capable of self-curing to a continuous film in the presence of moisture.
Abstract:
A low temperature curing composition prepared from an essentially silicon-free polymer and a silicon group-containing material is improved by utilizing a silicon group-containing material which is a hydrolyzable organosilicon group-containing polymer which is non-gelled and formed from an essentially silicon-free polymer having isocyanate or active hydrogen functional groups and an organosilicon group-containing material having functional groups reactive with the isocyanate and active hydrogen.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a resin comprising a reaction product prepared by partially reacting to homogeneity a hydrophobic polyol and an organosilicon-containing material comprising an organosilicon-containing substance. The organosilicon-containing substance has atoms bonded directly to silicon, all of which atoms are selected from oxygen, nitrogen, and/or chlorine, and additionally has moieties directly bonded to silicon which are easily displaceable by reaction with water and/or alcohol. At least a part of the organosilicon-containing substance is hydrolyzed. The reaction product is homogeneous and contains residual hydroxyl moieties from the hydrophobic polyol and residual moieties bonded directly to silicon which are easily displaceable. the reaction product is capable of self-curing, optionally with a catalyst, by reaction with moisture and/or with the residual hydroxyl moieties, of the residual moieties directly bonded to silicon which are easily displaceable.
Abstract:
Thermosetting elastomeric coating compositions are disclosed. The resinous binder of the coating compositions is based on a hard polyester polyol containing cycloaliphatic moieties plasticized with a soft polyurethane polyol and cured with a curing agent capable of reacting with active hydrogens, for example, an aminoplast curing agent. The coating compositions are particularly useful on elastomeric substrates such as high density polyurethane foams, as well as on metal substrates such as steel and aluminum.
Abstract:
An implosion-protected evacuated glass enclosure such as a cathode ray tube or an electric lamp is disclosed. The enclosure is made implosion resistant by depositing on the exterior surface thereof a polyurethane film. The mechanical properties of the polyurethane film result in outstanding glass retention properties when the evacuated glass enclosure implodes.
Abstract:
Low organic solvent-containing coating compositions are prepared by blending (i) an ester-containing polyol, having a number average molecular weight of from about 140 to about 700, a hydroxyl value of from about 160 to about 1100 and a viscosity of less than about 1200 poises, which is derived from an aromatic or alicyclic monobasic acid and, optionally, a minor proportion of a polybasic acid and a polyol having an average hydroxyl functionality of from about 2.1 to about 5.0 with (ii) an aminealdehyde crosslinking agent. Particularly valuable coating compositions which can be cured at relatively low temperatures are obtained by incorporating a cure accelerating catalyst into the composition. The compositions aid in environmental pollution control and form films having good adhesion, flexibility, hardness, stain resistance, detergent resistance, solvent resistance and durability.
Abstract:
Cured coatings having a high degree of extensibility, gloss retention, good sprayability and other desirable properties are obtained from compositions comprising (A) an interpolymer of a hydroxyalkyl ester of an ethylenically-unsaturated carboxylic acid and a copolymerizable material; (B) an organic polyisocyanate; (C) a polymeric polyol of low glass transition temperature; and (D) a curing agent, present either externally and/or as a part of the interpolymer. These compositions, when used as coatings, are durable, adherent and highly extensible. The coatings are particularly useful on resilient and rubbery substrates such as EPDM rubber, foam rubber, polyurethane foam and vinyl foam and on soft metal surfaces such as steel and aluminum.

Energy-absorbing interlayers and glass laminates prepared therefrom for use as automobile windshields and other safety glass applications are disclosed. The interlayers are made from a poly(lactone-urethane) in which the molecular weight and structure of the lactone moiety is carefully controlled so as to get optimum energy-absorbing and optical properties.
Abstract:
Quaternary ammonium hydroxide-containing polymers and their use in cationic electrodeposition are disclosed. The quaternary ammonium hydroxide-containing polymers are particularly useful as feed resins for controlling the pH of aqueous dispersions of acidified cationic resins used in electrodeposition. Upon electrodeposition, such resins generate acid which can build up to undesirable levels in the electrodeposition bath. The quaternary ammonium hydroxide-containing polymers are strong bases and when fed into the bath react with the acid to form the corresponding quaternary ammonium salt. This controls the pH of the bath at acceptable levels and provides additional cationic resin for electrodeposition. Utilizing the invention in this manner minimizes the need for controlling acid build-up in the electrodeposition bath by conventional techniques such as by treating the bath with ultrafiltration or electrodialysis.The quaternary ammonium hydroxide-containing polymers are also useful as electrodeposition resins themselves in that they electrodeposit without generating acid counter ion.
Abstract:
A water-diluted, ungelled, non-sedimenting polyurethane and a process for preparing such a polyurethane in the presence of water is disclosed. The polyurethanes are prepared so that they contain a high percentage of highly active hydrogens which enable the polyurethanes to be further reacted with a curing agent to form thermoset products. The polyurethanes of the present invention are prepared by first dispersing a partially reacted NCO-containing polymer in water, which is then chain extended with a material such as an organic diamine. Thermosetting compositions are made by adding curing agent to the chain extended material. Curing agents can also be incorporated into the polymer molecule either in the making of the partially reacted NCO-containing prepolymer or by further reaction with the partially reacted NCO-containing prepolymer. The water-dispersed polyurethanes of the present invention are excellent film formers, capable of making coatings with a wide spectrum of desirable properties. In addition, they can be added to other water-compatible compositions to improve flexibility, hardness, drying and other coating properties.
