Abstract
Abstract Emulsifier-free aqueous polyurethane dispersions are prepared by reacting (a) dihydroxy compounds, (b) diisocyanates and (c) chain extenders to give a prepolymer having terminal isocyanate groups, then reacting the prepolymer with (d) salts of aliphatic aminocarboxylic or -sulfonic acids or amino-containing or hydroxyl-containing tertiary ammonium salts, dispersing the resulting polyurethane in water and, if required, removing the organic solvent by distillation. In the process, an organic condensation resin which is dissolved in a solvent is admixed before the polyurethane obtained is dispersed in water.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
165 words
A process for the preparation of an emulsifier-free aqueous polyurethane dispersion by reacting (a) dihydroxy compounds having a molecular weight of from 500 to 5,000, (b) diisocyanates and (c) chain extenders having two or more hydrogen atoms reactive to isocyanate groups and having a molecular weight of less than 300, in the melt or in the presence of a water-miscible inert organic solvent (S) boiling below 100° C., to give a prepolymer having terminal isocyanate groups, then reacting the prepolymer, which may be dissolved in a water-miscible inert organic solvent (S), with (d) salts of aliphatic aminocarboxylic or -sulfonic acids or amino-containing or hydroxyl-containing tertiary ammonium salts, which salts may be dissolved in water, dispersing the resulting polyurethane in water, wherein from 5 to 60 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of the polyurethane, of a phenol/formaldehyde or epoxy organic condensation resin which is dissolved in a solvent boiling below 100° C. is admixed before the polyurethane obtained is dispersed in water.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
165 words
A process for the preparation of an emulsifier-free aqueous polyurethane dispersion by reacting (a) dihydroxy compounds having a molecular weight of from 500 to 5,000, (b) diisocyanates and (c) chain extenders having two or more hydrogen atoms reactive to isocyanate groups and having a molecular weight of less than 300, in the melt or in the presence of a water-miscible inert organic solvent (S) boiling below 100° C., to give a prepolymer having terminal isocyanate groups, then reacting the prepolymer, which may be dissolved in a water-miscible inert organic solvent (S), with (d) salts of aliphatic aminocarboxylic or -sulfonic acids or amino-containing or hydroxyl-containing tertiary ammonium salts, which salts may be dissolved in water, dispersing the resulting polyurethane in water, wherein from 5 to 60 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of the polyurethane, of a phenol/formaldehyde or epoxy organic condensation resin which is dissolved in a solvent boiling below 100° C. is admixed before the polyurethane obtained is dispersed in water.
