Abstract
Resins and waxes made by reacting selected nucleophiles, including alcohols and/or amines, with an isocyanate are disclosed. The order of addition of the isocyanate and the different nucleophiles can tailor the distribution of di-urethane, mixed urethane/urea, and/or di-urea molecules in the final resin product. The isocyanate-derived resin and wax materials are useful as ingredients as phase change ink carrier compositions used to make phase change ink jet inks.
Claims14
An isocyanate-derived material comprising the solid reaction product of the following reactants:
- (a) at least one non-ethylenically unsaturated monohydric alcohol;
- (b) an isocyanate;
- and
- (c) at least one amine.
