Aqueous polyurethane dispersions containing structural units derived from alkenyl- or alkylsuccinic acid

Abstract

Aqueous dispersions containing a polyurethane built up from a) diisocyanates having 4 to 30 carbon atoms, b) diols, of which b.1) from 10 to 100 mol %, based on the total amount of the diols (b), have a molecular weight of from 500 to 5000 and are built up from b1.1) (C.sub.4 - to C.sub.30 -alkyl)succinic acid and/or (C.sub.4 - to C.sub.30 -alkenyl)succinic acid, b1.2) from 0 to 60 mol %, based on component (b1.1), of a dicarboxylic acid which is different from component (b1.1), and b1.3) a diol having a molecular weight of from 60 to 500 g/mol, b.2) from 0 to 90 mol %, based on the total amount of the diols (b), have a molecular weight of from 60 to 500 g/mol, and b.3) from 0 to 90 mol %, based on the total amount of the diols (b), have a molecular weight of from 500 to 5000 g/mol and are different from (b1), c) monomers which are different from the monomers (a) and (b) and contain at least 2 isocyanate groups or at least 2 isocyanate-reactive groups and which in addition carry at least one hydrophilic group or a potentially hydrophilic group, thus achieving the water-dispersibility of polyurethanes, d) if desired, further polyfunctional compounds which are different from the monomers (a) to (c) and contain reactive groups which are alcoholic hydroxyl groups, primary or secondary amino groups or isocyanate groups, and e) if desired, monofunctional compounds which are different from the monomers (a) to (c) and contain one reactive group, which is an alcoholic hydroxyl group, a primary or secondary amino group or an isocyanate group.
