Abstract
This invention relates to coating compositions containing (A) a polyurethane system containing either a polyurethane containing ionic groups and polyethylene oxide units or a precursor thereof prepared from a blocked isocyanate prepolymer and a cross-linking agent and, optionally, (B) organic solvents. This invention further relates to the use of such coating compositions to prepare coatings that are permeable to water vapor.
Claims21
A coating composition for the preparation of water-vapor permeable coatings comprising (A) a polyurethane system containing either
- (a) a polyurethane having an elongation at break (according to DIN 53,504) of from 200 to 1000% and containing ionic groups in a quantity of from 0.5 to 40 milliequivalents per 100 g of polyurethane (a) and from 10 to 45% by weight, based on polyurethane (a), of polyethylene oxide units --(CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 O).sub.n -- in which the sequence length n is from 3 to 55, prepared from
- (1) one or more polyisocyanates,
- (2) one or more hydroxyl-terminated polyethers having number average molecular weights of from 350 to 5000 selected from the group consisting of
- (i) a homopolyethylene glycol or an ethylene oxide/propylene oxide copolymer containing 2 or 3 hydroxyl end groups and having polyethylene oxide units distributed in blocks or at random,

- (b) a precursor that is reactive at elevated temperatures of about 70.degree. to about 100.degree. C. and capable of forming said polyurethane (a) prepared from
- (i) a blocked isocyanate prepolymer corresponding to said polyurethane (a), and
- (ii) a cross-linking agent;
