Estimating the term…
Disclosed are new coatings compositions based on an HDI isocyanurate or biuret polyisocyanate and a bis(imine) reaction product of a diaminoalkane containing between two and five carbon atoms with an alkyl aldehyde containing between four and seven carbon atoms (advantageously a bis(imine) product of the reaction of 1,4-diaminobutane and isobutyraldehyde). The latter bis(imine) is completely miscible in HDI isocyanurate and biuret polyisocyanates, and, as a reactive diluent, allows the preparation of high performance coatings formulations that require only small amounts of solvents to achieve a conveniently sprayable viscosity.
A coating composition comprising:
A process for making a low VOC coating composition which comprises contacting a bis(imine) reaction product of a diaminoalkane containing between two and five carbon atoms with an alkyl aldehyde containing between four and seven carbon atoms, with a polyisocyanate composition containing HDI trimer or HDI biuret to provide said low VOC coating composition, said low VOC coating composition being suitable for spray application onto a substrate at a solvent loading level of less than 2.0 pounds per gallon of said low VOC coating composition.
