A description is given of a solvent-free polyurethane dispersion having a high solids content of polyurethane polymer or fillers, which is obtainable by a) allowing a relatively high molecular weight polyol component (A) (i) and, if desired, a low molecular weight polyol component (A) (ii) to react with a polyisocyanate component (B) in the presence or absence of a catalyst to give a polyurethane preadduct, then b) reacting the polyurethane preadduct from step a) with a low molecular weight and anionically modifiable polyol component (A) (iii) containing two or more hydroxyl groups and one or more carboxyl groups to give the corresponding prepolymer, c) allowing the prepolymer from step b) to react with a neutralization component (C) until the carboxyl groups have been completely or partially neutralized, subsequently or simultaneously d) dispersing the neutralized prepolymer from step c) in water which may further comprise a formulation component (F) comprising fillers, pigments, plasticizers, fibrous materials and other customary additives, subsequently e) reacting the dispersion from step d) with a chain extension component (D), and f) if desired, allowing the dispersion from step e) to react with a chain stopper component (E). The polyurethane dispersion of the invention has an ideal linear segmented structure due to its method of preparation and has extraordinarily high solids contents combined with comparatively low viscosities, complete freedom from solvents, excellent materials properties (e.g. elasticity, elongation and tensile strength) and is prepared by a technically simple process.
A solvent-free polyurethane dispersion, wherein the polyurethane polymer has a mean molar mass (number average) of from 25,000 to 100,000 dalton and a solids content of polyurethane polymer of from 40 to 70% by weight, based on the total amount of a pure polyurethane dispersion, said dispersion obtained by
A polyurethane dispersion as claimed 1, wherein the reaction step d) is carried out at from 30 to 50.
