Claim 1
Independent Claim
119 words
A process for inhibiting corrosion of metals which comprises applying an anti-corrosion polyurethane coating composition to a metal substrate, said composition comprising a polyurethane resin produced by reaction of (A), as a polyol component, a castor oil polyol having a hydroxyl value of 160 to 350 mg KOH/g or a polyol mixture of a castor oil polyol and a low molecular polyol having a functionality of at least 2, the average hydroxyl value of said polyol mixture being from 160 to 350 mg KOH/g, and (B) an organic polyisocyanate compound as a polyisocyanate component in an NCO/active hydrogen ratio of 0.85-1.15/1 by equivalent, said polyurethane resin having a density of crosslinking of 1.10 to 2.00 per 1,000 atomic weight.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
119 words
A process for inhibiting corrosion of metals which comprises applying an anti-corrosion polyurethane coating composition to a metal substrate, said composition comprising a polyurethane resin produced by reaction of (A), as a polyol component, a castor oil polyol having a hydroxyl value of 160 to 350 mg KOH/g or a polyol mixture of a castor oil polyol and a low molecular polyol having a functionality of at least 2, the average hydroxyl value of said polyol mixture being from 160 to 350 mg KOH/g, and (B) an organic polyisocyanate compound as a polyisocyanate component in an NCO/active hydrogen ratio of 0.85-1.15/1 by equivalent, said polyurethane resin having a density of crosslinking of 1.10 to 2.00 per 1,000 atomic weight.
