Abstract
Abstract A stable copolymer dispersion is prepared by addition copolymerization of (1) an adduct of an active hydrogen compound, e.g., a polyether polyol, and an active ethylenically unsaturated isocyanate, e. g., 2-isocyanatoethyl methacrylate with (2) ethylenically unsaturated monomers(s), e.g., styrene or mixture thereof with acrylonitrile, while (1) and (2) are dispersed or dissolved in an excess of an active hydrogen polyfunctional compound. The resulting dispersion has a controlled particle size and a viscosity such that it is suitably employed in the production of polyurethane foams.

Claim 2
Dependent Claim
101 words
A copolymer dispersion which is stable and which comprises: (A) a polyahl having dispersed therein; (B) an addition copolymerizate of (1) an adduct of a polyahl and an active ethylenically unsaturated isocyanate with (2) at least one other ethylenically unsaturated monomer; or (C) an adduct of (1) a polyahl and (2) an addition copolymer of an active ethylenically unsaturated isocyanate with at least one other ethylenically unsaturated monomer which is nonreactive with the isocyanate; or (D) a mixture of (B) and (C); or (E) a mixture of (B) and/or (C) and a polymer of at least one other ethylenically unsaturated monomer.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
59 words
A method for making the copolymer dispersion of claim 1 which method comprises: (A) reacting an active ethylenically unsaturated isocyanate with a polyahl to form an adduct and (B) copolymerizing the adduct with another ethylenically unsaturated monomer or a mixture of at least two of such other monomers in a polyahl liquid medium which medium is a continuous phase.
