Abstract The present invention is directed to a process for coating substrates with polyurethane ureas which is characterized in that a substrate is coated with a product, which has been obtained by the reation of (A) a prepolymer based on an aromatic polyisocyanate containing on average two ketoxime-blocked NCO groups and having an average molecular weight of about 500 to 15,000 with (B) a chain-extending agent corresponding to the formula H.sub.2 N--R'--NH.sub.2 in which R' is an aliphatic or cycloaliphatic radical, in the presence of solvents at temperatures above 50° C. and at an equivalent ratio of blocked NCO groups to NH 2 groups of 1.43 to 1.02, wherein after about 40 to 90% of the available amino groups have reacted, the reaction is completed with crosslinking at temperatures above 120° C. The present invention is also directed to the coated substrates produced by this process.
A process for coating a substrate with a polyurethane urea which comprises reacting a prepolymer based on an aromatic polyisocyanate containing an average of two ketoxime blocked NCO groups and having an average molecular weight of about 500 to 15,000 with (B) a chain-extending agent corresponding to the formula H.sub.2 N--R'--NH.sub.2 in which R' is an aliphatic or cycloaliphatic radical, in the presence of a solvent at a temperature of greater than 50° C. and at an equivalent ratio of blocked isocyanate groups to NH 2 groups of 1.43 to 1.02 until about 40 to 90% of the amino groups have reacted, applying the partially reacted prepolymer to a substrate and crosslinking the coating at a temperature of greater than 120° C.
