Abstract
Abstract The instant invention relates to thermoplastic polyurea powders, optionally containing urethane groups, characterized by A. a smooth, substantially spherical or lenticular surface, B. an average particle diameter of 5 to 1,000μ, preferably 10 to 200μ, C. a urea group content, and, optionally, a urethane group content, of 8 to 30% by weight, D. an ionic group content of 0.01-0.15 milliequivalents per gram of solids, preferably 0.02-0.1 milliequivalent per gram and E. 0.1 to 10% by weight, preferably 0.2 to 5% by weight, of an organic dye incorporated in the polymer molecule by way of at least one urethane and/or urea group, And the process of manufacture thereof.
