Abstract:
Polyurethane elastomers are formed by curing a reaction mixture containing at least one polyisocyanate at least one polyol, an aliphatic diol chain extender and a small amount of a secondary amino compound that may have none or one or more hydroxyl groups. The reaction is catalyzed with a metal catalyst. In certain embodiments, the catalyst is an organozirconium, organotitanium or tertiary amine-based catalyst. The presence of the secondary amine compound in those cases provides for a good surface appearance and good physical properties.

Abstract:
The present invention comprises a curable composition comprising: (i) a blocked reactive component comprising a blocked isocyanate or a blocked isothiocyanate; (ii) a functional component containing reactive hydrogen; (iii) a triorganotin catalyst for promoting the reaction of the blocked reactive component with the functional component. The composition may also be admixed with water. A co-catalyst may also be employed based on Cu, Zn, Ni, Fe, Co, V, Sb and Bi and especially oxides, salts or chelates of said metal where said metals are divalent. The invention also relates to a method for curing a blocked isocyanate or blocked isothiocyanate at a temperature below about 150 DEG C which comprises combining a triorganotin catalyst with the blocked reactive component and functional component and heating at a temperature less than about 150 DEG C to obtain a cured urethane or thiourethane.

Abstract:
A water based, solvent free, two component polyurethane-polyurea dispersion containing up to 65% solids. The first component is a polyester-polyol phase and an aqueous amine phase mixture. The polyester-polyol is a combination of modified polyester-polyols, low viscosity polyether or polyester-polyols, chain extending low molecular weight polyols, neutralizing amines and a detergent. It has a solids content of 90-100% and is totally hydroxyl functional with a carboxylic acid number of 10 and 50, a hydroxyl number of 180 and 300, an equivalent weight range of 165 and 365 and a viscosity of 600-1500 cps at 25 DEG C. The amine phase is a combination of neutralizing and chain extending amines having ratios preformulated to provide a balanced chain extending cross-linking reaction in aqueous phase with -NCO reactive groups. The aqueous amine blend has an equivalent weight of 40 to 50 and a solids content of 40-60%. The polyester-polyol and amine phases are combined in water at room temperature to form an aqueous component having a solids content of 33 to 48% and has an equivalent ratio between polyester-polyol phase and amine phase of 1.75:1 to 2.25:2. The second component is a 100% solids aliphatic isocyanate having a viscosity of between 1000-3500 cps at 25 DEG C and provides an NCO to functional groups in the polyester-polyol/amine component ratio of between about 1:1.3 to 1:1.7. This solvent free dispersion dries to a film coating having properties equal to conventional solvent based polyurethane coatings.
