Abstract
Abstract This invention relates to a new and useful process for color pigmented moisture curing polyurethanes. The process is comprised of preparing a slurry of specified color pigments, solvents, and additives to which is added a specified quantity of a chosen monomeric diisocyanate. A polyol (or other suitable hydrogen donor) is added to the slurry and the monomeric diisocyanate. Pigments are then dispersed in the aforesaid admixture. To the aforesaid admixture, called a color pigment dispersion, isocyanate prepolymers are added. The completed admixture results in a stable colored moisture curing (air drying) polyurethane for use as a protective and decorative coating.
