Process for producing polymeric resin

Claim 1

A process for producing a self-hardening polymer which comprises subjecting to polymerization at 40° to 100° C. a mixture comprising: (A) a blocked isocyanate group-containing ethylenically unsaturated polymerizable compound and (B) an active hydrogen atom-containing ethylenically unsaturated compound selected from the group consisting of an unsaturated hydroxyalkyl compound, an unsaturated carboxylic acid and an unsaturated carboxylic acid amide, the ratio of blocked isocyanate groups in component (A) to one active hydrogen atom in component (B) being 0.2 to 2, component (A) being obtained by: (1) addition of an unsaturated hydroxyalkyl compound, an unsaturated carboxylic acid or an unsaturated carboxylic acid amide to a polyisocyanate compound, prepared by reacting a polyisocyanate with a blocking agent in a proportion of 0.01 to 0.8 of the active hydrogen atom in the blocking agent to one isocyanate group in the polyisocyanate, or (2) addition of a blocking agent to an ethylenically unsaturated monomer containing an isocyanate group, prepared by addition of an unsaturated hydroxyalkyl compound, an unsaturated carboxylic acid or an unsaturated carboxylic acid amide to a polyisocyanate, said polyisocyanate being: hexamethylene diisocyanate, ethylene diisocyanate, propylene diisocyanate, tetramethylene diisocyanate, decamethylene diisocyanate, triphenylmethane triisocyanate, 4,4'-ethylene-bis-(cyclohexylisocyanate), 4,4'-methylene-bis(cyclohexylisocyanate), ω,ω'-diisocyanate-1,3-dimethylbenzene, phenylene diisocyanate, lysine diisocyanate methyl ester, isophorone diisocyanate, trimethylhexamethylene diisocyanate, diphenylmethane-4,4'-diisocyanate or 3,3'-dimethyldiphenylmethane-4,4'-diisocyanate or their adducts with ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, propylene glycol, trimethylolpropane, hexamethylene glycol, 1,3-butylene glycol, cyclohexanedimethanol, neopentyl glycol or pentaerythritol, their biuret type compounds or their allophanate type compounds.
