Unsaturated polyurethanes and their use as dispersants for alkyd resins

Abstract

Unsaturated polyurethanes containing from 20 to 80% by weight of polyethylene glycol units, which can be prepared by reacting a) at least one organic polyisocyanate, b) an unsaturated fatty alcohol or its polyalkylene glycol ether, an unsaturated fatty amine or a reaction product of an unsaturated fatty acid and a monoepoxide, c) a compound which contains not only two groups which react with isocyanate groups but also at least one group which is ionic. d) a polyalkylene glycol having a molecular mass of from 750 to 10,000, and if desired e) a compound containing from three to six hydroxyl or amino groups, the ratio of the isocyanate groups in a) to the hydroxyl and amino groups in the remaining components being from 0.7:1 to 1.2:1. These unsaturated polyurethanes are used as dispersants for alkyd resins.
