POLYURETHANE
Polyurethanes are the fastest growing segment of the coating industry. Although the common approach to prepare polyurethanes is from isocyanates, there are also non-isocyanate processes to prepare polyurethanes.
Polyurethanes Polyols as Reactive Diluents
There are many potential technologies of preparing reactive diluents for coatings. Low molecular weight polyurethane diols have the advantage of good water solubility and excellent hydrolytic stability. Reaction of an amine with a cyclic carbonate represents a low cost route to polyurethanes.

Polyurethane polyols
Polyurethane polyols with good solubility in conventional solvents can be prepared by from K-FLEX UD-320-100 urethane diol (King Industries) by self-condensation. A good catalyst is potassium hydroxide (50-100 pm). Vacuum is required to remove the propylene glycol. A reaction temperature of 150-170ºC is necessary. The resulting polymer crosslinked with HMMM gives an excellent combination of hardness, flexibility and chemical resistance. Exterior durability is outstanding.
Crosslinking with K-FLEX UD-320
UD-320 can be considered a propylene glycol blocked isocyanate (see paper below). In presence of a catalyst (K-KAT 348) can react with hydroxyl functional polymers at 160ºC or higher. Because of the difunctionality of the urethane diol the polymer backbone has to be multifunctional. Hydroxyl functional acrylic resins and epoxy resins can be used. If you are interest in a starting formulation give me a call.
