Compositions of an acrylated epoxidized soybean oil, which is the reaction product of epoxidized soybean oil with acrylic acid or methacrylic acid, and a photosensitizer are useful for coatings and inks; a pigment can optionally be present. The compositions can be cured by radiation.

Ink and coating compositions and method

Lower alkanoate esters of alcohols are contacted in the vapor phase and at elevated temperatures with certain metal oxide catalysts to produce the aldehyde or ketone corresponding to said alcohol. Preferred catalysts include nickel oxide, zinc oxide and chromium oxide.

Catalytic decarbonylation of esters

The urethane derivatives of acrylated epoxidized soybean oil, which is the reaction product of epoxidized soybean oil with acrylic acid or methacrylic acid, are produced by the reaction of acrylated epoxidized soybean oil with an organic isocyanate. The derivatives are useful alone, or in conjunction with a photosensitizer, and/or a pigment as inks and coatings in the methods of this invention whereby they are cured by exposure to radiation.

Coating and ink compositions and method

Cellular urethane polymers essentially free of the strong, objectionable amine odor characteristic of N-ethylmorpholine, are provided by effecting the polyurethane forming reaction in the presence of beta-tertamino nitriles. In view of their low residual odor and effectiveness in the catalysis of the water-isocyanate reaction, the beta-amino nitriles either alone or in combination with other tertiary amines, are used with particular advantage as direct replacements for N-ethylmorpholine in the manufacture of water-blown flexible polyurethanes, both molded and free-rise, including high-resilience foam as well as foams stabilized with either organosilicone or silicon-free organic surfactants. Especially effective for the formation of flexible polyester foam stabilized with either type of surfactant are blends of the beta-amino nitrile catalyst such as, in particular, 3-(N,N-dimethylamino)propionitrile, with dimethylethanolamine or a bis[2-(N,N-dimethylamino)alkyl]-ether.

Provided as catalysts for the formation of cellular urethane polymers ranging from flexible to rigid foams, are beta-amino carbonyl compounds wherein carbonyl is present as an amido or carboxylic acid ester group and the beta-amino group is present as dialkylamino or an N-morpholino or N,N'-piperazino heterocyclic nucleus. Effective in the catalysis of the water-isocyanate reaction, these beta-amino amides and beta-amino esters are used with particular advantage in the manufacture of water-blown flexible foams, both molded and free-rise, including high-resilience and flame-retarded foam. The beta-amino carbonyl catalysts allow for the formation of foam products essentially free of the odor associated with amines such as N-ethylmorpholine. In view of this highly desirable characteristic and their other beneficial properties, the catalysts of the invention are advantageously employed as direct replacements for N-ethylmorpholine in high-resilience and other foam formulations.

Liquid ink or coating compositions that can be cured by thermal treatment or by a combination of ionizing or non-ionizing radiation and a thermal treatment are disclosed. The components are all essentially non-volatile during cure and the compositions have high viscosities making them eminently suitable for printing applications.

The amine derivatives of acrylated epoxidized soybean oil, which is the reaction product of epoxidized soybean oil with acrylic acid or methacrylic acid, are produced by the reaction of acrylated epoxidized soybean oil with an organic amine and cured by radiation. They are useful alone, or in conjunction with a photosensitizer, and/or a pigment as inks and coatings.

Dinorbornene compounds, many of them novel, have been found to form polymers having a ladder structure. The dinorbornene compounds and dinorbornene polymers with other polymers such as the polyolefins, vinyl polymers, acrylic polymers, polyesters, polyamides, polyethers, polyureas, polyurethanes, natural polymers, etc., are readily crosslinked by irradiation.
