Soft feel lacquers comprising water dilutable binders A which possess functional groups, selected from hydroxyl, amino and carboxyl groups, and of curing agents B which have functional groups capable of reacting with the functional groups of the components A, and forming chemical bonds as cross-linking sites, wherein at least one of the components A and B contains a sufficient quantity of aromatic constituent units to ensure that the mass fraction of the aromatic constituent units in relation to the solid matter in the combination of binder and curing agent is not less than 3%.

Water-dilutable binder for &ldquo;soft feel&rdquo; lacquers

Aqueous binders for soft feel materials, comprising predominantly aliphatic, water-soluble or water-dispersible polymers A having terminal or lateral cyclic carbonate groups and an amine B having at least two primary amino groups, the ratio of the number of primary amino groups in the component B to the number of cyclic carbonate groups in the component A being from 7:3 to 3:7.

Binders for soft feel coating materials

An aqueous coating composition useful as electro-deposition coatings includes (A') an aqueous dispersion of a resin (A) having functional groups which are reactive toward isocyanate, and (B') an aqueous, solvent-free dispersion of a solubilized masked polyisocyanate (B). The coating is cured by baking at a temperature which regenerates the isocyanate groups.

Aqueous coating compositions comprising curing agents which can be

Cationic polyurethane-based polymer dispersions

A process for the preparation of water-dilutable polyvinylbutyral dispersions by (1) reacting an aliphatic acid having from one to three isocyanate-reactive groups and from one to three acid groups, or a mixture of such acids, with one or more polyfunctional isocyanates whose average functionality is at least two, where the quantity of the isocyanate component is chosen such that the ratio of the number of isocyanate groups to the number of isocyanate-reactive groups of the acid component is between 2.2:1 and 1.7:1; (2) then reacting from 25 to 75% of the remaining isocyanate groups with at least one monofunctional compound selected from monoalcohols and monoamines; and (3) reacting this NCO-functional emulsifier resin further with polyvinylbutyral and, if desired, with an appropriate plasticizer resin using a suitable auxiliary solvent. The polyvinylbutyral dispersions prepared in this way can be used as binders and binder components for coatings with good adhesion.

Anionically stabilized aqueous polyvinylbutyral dispersions and process

Polyurethane dispersions prepared by polymerization, initiated by free radicals, of polyurethane macromonomers containing carboxyl, phosphonic acid or sulfonic acid groups and lateral vinyl groups and optionally terminal vinyl, hydroxyl, urethane, thiourethane and/or urea groups. These polyurethane dispersions are suitable for the production of coatings on substrates, as adhesives or as binders in printing inks.

Polyurethane dispersions

Catalysts useful for the curing of, for example, cataphoretic deposition coating materials, including water-soluble bismuth compounds and an epoxy-amine adduct, the preparation of the bismuth compound involving acid being employed in a quantity such that there are less than 2 mol of dissociable protons per mole of bismuth.

Bismuth catalysts useful for curing of cataphoretic deposition coating

Polyesters obtained by reacting from 5 to 50 parts of at least one linear or branched, aliphatic or cycloaliphatic, at least dihydric alcohol, from 2 to 40 parts of at least one at least dibasic, aromatic carboxylic acid, from 0 to 40 parts of at least one 2-alkenyldicarboxylic anhydride, from 10 to 30 parts of at least one at least dibasic, linear or branched, aliphatic carboxylic acid, from 0 to 15 parts of an aliphatic, linear or branched hydroxy acid, from 0 to 15 parts of an aliphatic, linear or branched polyamine having at least one primary and at least one secondary or tertiary amino group, from 0 to 15 parts of a glycidyl ester of a branched, aliphatic monocarboxylic acid or of a glycidyl ether of a branched, aliphatic alcohol, and from 0 to 15 parts of polyhydroxyamine are useful, for example, as additives in coating compositions.

Polyesters and their use as additives in coating compositions

Aqueous emulsions which include polyvinyl butyral are prepared by mixing a nonionic emulsifier with polyvinyl butyral and, if desired, with a plasticizer resin and, if desired, with one or more solvents, and adding water under the action of shear forces.

Aqueous emulsions comprising polyvinyl butyral

Solvent-free aqueous synthetic-resin dispersions comprising a polymer (A) which is obtained by polymerization of (A1) capped polyisocyanates in which some of the capping groups contain an ethylenically unsaturated group, and (A2) ethylenically unsaturated monomers in the presence of an ionic resin (B). The resin is useful in electrodeposition coatings.

Solvent-free aqueous synthetic-resin dispersion and process for the

Polyurethane dispersions, obtained by reacting an ionic polyester polyol, polycarbonate polyol or polyether polyol or mixture thereof with a polyisocyanate or mixtures of polyisocyanates. Such polyurethane dispersions, whose special feature is that the ionic groups are present in the polyol required for synthesizing the polyurethane molecule, are suitable in particular as binders for coatings, adhesives or printing inks.

The invention relates to copolymers containing carboxyl groups and having a thickener action and also containing, inter alia, units (a) and/or (b) and/or (c) derived from monoethylenically unsaturated monomers of the formula (I) ##STR1## and/or from polyunsaturated monomers of the formula (II) ##STR2## and/or from urethane group-containing monomers of the formula (III) ##STR3## where only one of the two radicals R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 in the formula (I) is ethylenically unsaturated, while both radicals R.sup.5 and R.sup.6 in the formula (II) are ethylenically unsaturated.
