Abstract

Abstract Improved electron beam curable compounds are prepared by mixing 100 weight parts of (1) polyurethanes prepared from polymeric polyols, organic diisocyanates and polyethers having terminal hydroxyl and unsaturated groups, or terminal hydroxyl and pendant unsaturated groups with (2) 1 to 25 weight parts of an acrylate or alkacrylate terminated polyurethanes prepared by reacting isocyanate terminated prepolymers of hydroxyl terminated polymers with hydroxyl-terminated acrylates or alkacrylates. Compositions of this blend may be crosslinked or cured in a few seconds by electron beam to provide an improved stable coating that can be cured to a variety of hardnesses. These polyurethanes combined with phenoxy resins also form particularly useful binder systems for magnetic tape.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim 137 words
An electron beam-curable composition comprising (A) 100 weight parts of a polyurethane reaction product of (1) hydroxyl terminated polyesters, polyethers, polycarbonates, polylactones or, polyhydrocarbon macropolyols, (2) unsaturated polyethers having an average of 1/2 to 5 double bonds per molecule selected from the group consisting of polyethers having one terminal hydroxyl group and one terminal double bond group and polyether glycols having pendant double bond groups, and (3) an organic diisocyanate, and (B) from about 2 to about 100 parts by weight of a thermoplastic, linear copolymer of bisphenol A and epichlorohydrin, said copolymer having the molecular structure ##STR7## where y is a number of such magnitude that the molecular weight of said copolymer is within the range of about 20,000 to about 40,000 and (C) one to 25 parts of a liquid acrylate or alkacrylate terminated polyurethane.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 137 words
An electron beam-curable composition comprising (A) 100 weight parts of a polyurethane reaction product of (1) hydroxyl terminated polyesters, polyethers, polycarbonates, polylactones or, polyhydrocarbon macropolyols, (2) unsaturated polyethers having an average of 1/2 to 5 double bonds per molecule selected from the group consisting of polyethers having one terminal hydroxyl group and one terminal double bond group and polyether glycols having pendant double bond groups, and (3) an organic diisocyanate, and (B) from about 2 to about 100 parts by weight of a thermoplastic, linear copolymer of bisphenol A and epichlorohydrin, said copolymer having the molecular structure ##STR7## where y is a number of such magnitude that the molecular weight of said copolymer is within the range of about 20,000 to about 40,000 and (C) one to 25 parts of a liquid acrylate or alkacrylate terminated polyurethane.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 192 words
The composition of claim 1 wherein in (A) the (1) polyethers have the formula HO[(CH 2 ) x O] y H wherein x is 2 to 6 and y is an integer, the polyesters are polyesters of acids of the formula HOOC--R--COOH wherein R is an alkylene radical containing 1 to 10 carbon atoms and glycols containing 2 to 10 carbon atoms, and the polyurethane contains from 0 to 10 mole per mole of polyester or polyether of an aliphatic glycol or aliphatic ether glycol chain extender containing 2 to 10 carbon atoms, (3) the organic diisocyanate has the formula OCN--Ar--X--Ar--NCO wherein Ar is cyclic radical and X is a valence bond an alkylene radical containing 1-5 carbon atoms, and (B) is from about 2 to about 100 parts by weight of a thermoplastic, linear copolymer of bisphenol A and epichlorohydrin, said copolymer having the molecular structure ##STR8## where y is a number of such magnitude that the molecular weight of said copolymer is about 30,000 and wherein (C) is a polyurethane reaction product of a hydroxyl terminated polyester, polyether, polylactone, polycarbonate or polyhydrocarbon, an organic diisocyanate and a hydroxyacrylate or hydroxyalkacrylate.
