Abstract

This invention relates to PU-coating compositions containing solvent and combinations of crosslinking agents and to a process for producing polyurethane coatings on the principle of heat-activated, one-coat reverse coating by knife-coating the polyurethane coating composition onto a temporary support, drying the layer and laminating the textile substrates using preferably heated pressure rollers, followed by heating at elevated temperatures, the coating compositions used being solvent-containing, 20 to 60% compositions of a polyurethane mixture I containing (A) relatively soft polyurethanes and (B) relatively hard one-component polyurethanes and a crosslinker combination II containing (C) formaldehyde-urea and/or formaldehyde-melamine resins and crosslinking catalysts and (D) aliphatic and/or aromatic polyisocyanates, particularly blocked polyisocyanates, and, optionally, additions of soluble cellulose esters, handle-improving agents, optionally polysiloxanes containing oxyalkylene groups and other standard additives, such as pigments. The heat-active one-coat reverse coatings obtained in this way show surprisingly high dry and wet adhesion values on textile substrates through the mixed crosslinking of the selected polyurethane mixtures and, hence, high article fastness values.

Dependent claims

A polyurethane coating composition having a solids content of from about 20 to 60% by weight in at least one organic solvent wherein the solids comprise:

(I) from about 60 to 97.5 parts, based on I, of a polyurethane mixture of
(A) from about 60 to 90% by weight, based on I, of a relatively soft, substantially linear polyurethane of moderately high molecular weight based on
(a) hydroxy polyesters and/or polyethers having a molecular weight of about 600 to 6000,
(b) from 0 to about 1.5 moles, based on (a), of a chain-extending agent comprising a member selected from the group consisting of dialcohols, amino-alcohols, diamines, hydrazine hydrate, dihydrazide compounds and mixtures thereof, and
(c) aromatic and/or aliphatic polyisocyanates,
(B) from about 10 to 40% by weight, based on I, of a high molecular weight, relatively hard one-component polyurethane based on
(a) hydroxy polyesters and/or polyethers having a molecular weight of about 600 to 6000,
(b) from about 1.5 to 6 moles, based on (a), of a chain-extending agent selected from the group consisting of dialcohols, amino alcohols, diamines, hydrazine hydrate, dihydrazide compounds and mixtures thereof and
(c) aromatic and/or aliphatic polyisocyanates,
(II) from about 2.5 to 15 parts of a crosslinker combination of
(C) from about 10 to 60% by weight, based on II, of formaldehyde-urea and/or formaldehyde-melamine resins and
(D) from about 40 to 90% by weight of aliphatic and/or aromatic, unblocked or blocked polyisocyanates containing at least two isocyanate functions and
(III) said coating composition additionally containing
(E) from about 0.1 to 5 parts of cellulose acyl esters and mixed acyl alkyl esters,
(F) from about 0.3 to 3 parts of handle-improving agents,
(G) from 0 to about 5 parts of silicones and
(H) from 0 to about 20 parts of pigments, fillers and stabilizers.
