Abstract
Abstract A process for providing water based anionic polyurethanes having improved thermal oxidation color stability. Water dispersed amine salts of anionic prepolymers prepared from the reaction of polyhydroxy compounds and dihydroxy carboxylic acids with diisocyanates are chain-extended with hydrazine or hydrazide and thereafter optionally with a diamine, when cured at temperatures in excess of 150° C., form polyurethane products having substantially no discoloration and good mechanical properties. Alternately, the hydrazide may be employed as an additive rather than as a chain-extender. The process is particularly useful when employing cross-linking agents which react only at high temperatures.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
149 words
A process for the preparation of thermal oxidation color stabilized cured anionic polyurethanes, comprising preparing a water dispersed polyurethane having pendant acid groups, said polyurethane being prepared from the reaction of a polyhydroxy polyol and a polyhydroxy polyol having a pendant carboxylic acid group, with a polyisocyanate, said acid groups having been neutralized with a volatile alkyl or alkanol tertiary amine which vaporizes at a temperature below about 150° C., said water dispersed anionic polyurethane being further treated with a hydrazide being an additive selected from the group consisting of monohydrazide and a polyhydrazide in an amount sufficient to impart thermal oxidation color stability to the polyurethane during curing, there being an absence of reactive NCO terminal groups when a polyhydrazide is selected and curing the polyurethane at a temperature of from about 150° C. to about 190° C. to provide a product which has thermal oxidation color stability.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
149 words
A process for the preparation of thermal oxidation color stabilized cured anionic polyurethanes, comprising preparing a water dispersed polyurethane having pendant acid groups, said polyurethane being prepared from the reaction of a polyhydroxy polyol and a polyhydroxy polyol having a pendant carboxylic acid group, with a polyisocyanate, said acid groups having been neutralized with a volatile alkyl or alkanol tertiary amine which vaporizes at a temperature below about 150° C., said water dispersed anionic polyurethane being further treated with a hydrazide being an additive selected from the group consisting of monohydrazide and a polyhydrazide in an amount sufficient to impart thermal oxidation color stability to the polyurethane during curing, there being an absence of reactive NCO terminal groups when a polyhydrazide is selected and curing the polyurethane at a temperature of from about 150° C. to about 190° C. to provide a product which has thermal oxidation color stability.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
21 words
The process of claim 1, wherein the hydrazide is one selected from the group consisting of a carbohydrazide, adipicdihydrazide and oxalyldihydrazide.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
11 words
The process of claim 2, wherein the hydrazide is a carbohydrazide.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
20 words
The process of claim 1, wherein curing is for a period of at least 10 minutes to about 60 minutes.
