Abstract

Abstract The present invention relates to aqueous polyurea dispersions wherein the polyureas contain 0.1 to 25% by weight, based on the weight of the polyureas, of en-urea groups (calculated as -NH-C(O)-N-, MW 57) obtained by the reaction of an isocyanate group with an aldimine group prepared from a cyclic polyamine containing (cyclo)aliphatically bound amino groups. The present invention also relates to a process for preparing these aqueous polyurea dispersions and to their use for preparing coatings.
