Aqueous dispersions of vinyl polymers are disclosed. The polymers are copolymers of a vinyl halide, a vinyl ester, e.g., vinyl acetate, and a poly(alkylene glycol)-based macromonomer, e.g., poly(ethylene glycol)-maleic anhydride. Also disclosed are processes for the preparation of the aqueous dispersions which comprise forming the copolymer by solution polymerization, converting the dissolved polymer into an aqueous dispersion and removing the solvent from the aqueous dispersion.

Aoueous vinyl polymer dispersions

Stable, water-dispersible block copolymer coating compositions are produced from water-indispersible organic polymers having a plurality of hydroxyl groups and water-dispersible organic polymer having a plurality of carboxylic acid anhydride groups by controlled esterification.

Water-dispersible coating compositions and process

Curable isocyanate prepolymers have been made in which all or a portion of the available isocyanate terminal groups have been reacted with a secondary amine-containing silane monomer having two trialkoxy silane groups.

Silane-containing isocyanate-terminated polyurethane polymers

An apparatus for the continuous production of a curable polyurethane froth which apparatus comprises separate sources of a polyol, an isocyanate, a catalyst and an inert gas, means including separate conduits for feeding said polyol, isocyanate and inert gas separately and under pressure at controlled flow rates from said sources to a mixing device containing inlet openings to receive said polyol, isocyanate and inert gas, means for mixing said polyol, isocyanate and inert gas to produce a froth, and an outlet opening for the resulting froth, means for delivering the froth from said mixing device to a second mixing device, a conduit for feeding the catalyst under pressure at a controlled flow rate to the second mixing device, and means for mixing the froth and catalyst, said mixing device containing inlet openings to receive the froth and catalyst and an outlet opening for the resulting catalyzed froth and means for delivering the catalyzed froth from the mixing device onto a substrate.

Apparatus for producing a curable polyurethane froth

Described herein is a frothable thermosetting polyurethane-forming composition, a process for producing a curable froth from said composition, a process for applying the curable froth to a substrate and a cured cellular polyurethane produced from the curable froth.
