[PROBLEMS] The invention is to provide an aqueous one-component coating agent that is environmentally friendly and safe, and is excellent in productivity and storage stability, and also in alkali resistance and solvent resistance of a coated film. [MEANS FOR SOLVING PROBLEMS] The problems are solved by providing a method for producing polyurethane emulsion for an aqueous one-component coating agent, comprising: reacting an organic diisocyanate (a1), a high molecular weight polyol (a2) and a low molecular weight glycol containing a carboxyl group (a3) to produce an isocyanate-terminated urethane prepolymer having a carboxyl group (A); mixing the urethane prepolymer (A) with a polyisocyanate containing a nonionic polar group (B); neutralizing the carboxyl group in the system with a neutralizing agent (C); and subjecting the mixture to emulsification in water and chain extension with water or an amine.

Method for producing polyurethane emulsion for aqueous one-component coating agent

An aqueous emulsion which comprises as a resin component a self-emulsifiable copolymer in which at least one ethylenically unsaturated monomer and at least one urethane prepolymer having at least one mercapto group and at least one hydrophilic, polar group are bonded by radical polymerization or in which at least one ethylenically unsaturated monomer, at least one organic polyisocyanate, at least one compound having at least one mercapto group and at least one active hydrogen-containing group and at least one compound having at least one hydrophilic, polar group and at least one active hydrogen-containing group are bonded by urethanization reaction and radical polymerization. The aqueous emulsion is better in storage stability than conventional ones.

A self-emulsifiable polyisocyanate mixture having a hexamethylene diisocyanate monomer content of not more than 1.0% by weight and an average NCO functionality of 2.0 to 3.7 obtained by subjecting hexamethylene diisocyanate to urethanation with a branched dihydric alcohol having overall 4 to 35 carbon atoms, of which 2 to 33 carbon atoms are a total number of the carbon atoms possessed by one or more branches, a hydrophilic surfactant having one or more active hydrogen atoms capable of reacting with NCO group and 3 to 90 alkylene oxide units, an aliphatic compound having one or more active hydrogen atoms capable of reacting with NCO group and 8 or more carbon atoms and an unbranched glycol having 1 to 10 carbon atoms; uretdione-forming reaction; and isocyanurate-forming reaction. Said self-emulsifiable polyisocyanate mixture is excellent in compatibility, dispersion stability and NCO group-stability and can be combined with water or a water-soluble resin and/or an aqueous emulsion, and if necessary, an additive to provide an aqueous coating or adhesive composition excellent in heat resistance, workability, coating film appearance, weather resistance and adhesion to substrate.
