Abstract

A two-component polyurethane composition comprising: a specific emulsion polymer, and a water-dispersible polyisocyanate; the emulsion polymer comprising, by weight based on the weight of the emulsion polymer, (a) greater than 15% to less than 30% of structural units of tert-butyl methacrylate, (b) greater than 10% of structural units of a hydroxy-functional alkyl (meth)acrylate, (c) structural units of a phosphorous-containing acid monomer and/or a salt thereof, (d) structural units of an additional acid monomer and/or a salt thereof, and (e) structural units of an additional monoethylenically unsaturated nonionic monomer; wherein the weight ratio of (d)/(c) is in the range of from 7.1:1 to 9.9:1; and a process of preparing the two-component polyurethane composition.

First claim

What is claimed is:

(a) greater than 15% to less than 30% of structural units of tert-butyl methacrylate,
(b) greater than 10% of structural units of a hydroxy-functional alkyl (meth)acrylate,
(c) structural units of a phosphorous-containing acid monomer and/or a salt thereof,
(d) structural units of an additional acid monomer and/or a salt thereof, and
(e) structural units of an additional monoethylenically unsaturated nonionic monomer;
wherein the weight ratio of (d)/(c) is in the range of from 7.1:1 to 9.9:1; and
(B) a water-dispersible polyisocyanate.

2. The polyurethane composition of claim 1 , wherein the phosphorous-containing acid monomer and the salt thereof are selected from the group consisting of phosphoethyl (meth)acrylate, phosphopropyl (meth)acrylate, phosphobutyl (meth)acrylate, allyl ether phosphate; salts thereof; and mixtures thereof.

3. The polyurethane composition of claim 1 , wherein the hydroxy-functional alkyl (meth)acrylate is selected from the group consisting of 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate, 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate, 2-hydroxypropyl acrylate, 2-hydroxypropyl methacrylate, 3-hydroxypropyl acrylate, 3-hydroxypropyl methacrylate, and mixtures thereof.

4. The polyurethane composition of claim 1 , wherein the additional acid monomer and the salt thereof is selected from the group consisting of methacrylic acid, acrylic acid, itaconic acid, sodium vinyl sulfonate, sodium styrene sulfonate, 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid and a salt thereof, and mixtures thereof.

5. The polyurethane composition of claim 1 , wherein the emulsion polymer has a measured glass transition temperature of from 15 to 85° C.

6. The polyurethane composition of claim 1 , wherein the emulsion polymer comprises, by weight based on the weight of the emulsion polymer, from 18% to 25% of structural units of tert-butyl methacrylate.

7. The polyurethane composition of claim 1 , wherein the weight ratio of (d)/(c) is in the range of from 7.5:1 to 8.5:1.

8. The polyurethane composition of claim 1 , wherein the emulsion polymer has a particle size of from 50 to 300 nm.

9. The polyurethane composition of claim 1 , wherein the equivalent ratio of the total number of isocyanate group equivalents in the polyisocyanate, to the total number of hydroxyl group equivalents in the emulsion polymer is in the range of from 0.8:1 to 3:1.

10. The polyurethane composition of claim 1 , wherein the emulsion polymer comprises, by weight based on the weight of the emulsion polymer,
(a) from 18% to 25% of structural units of tert-butyl methacrylate,
(b) from 12% to 35% of structural units of the hydroxy-functional alkyl (meth)acrylate,
(c) structural units of the phosphorous-containing acid monomer and/or the salt thereof,
(d) structural units of the additional acid monomer and/or the salt thereof, and
(e) from 37% to 69.5% of structural units of the additional monoethylenically unsaturated nonionic; wherein the weight ratio of (d)/(c) is in the range of from 7.5:1 to 9.5:1.

11. The polyurethane composition of claim 1 , further comprising a pigment, an extender, or mixtures thereof.

12. A process of preparing a two-component polyurethane composition, comprising:
(i) providing an emulsion polymer comprising, by weight based on the weight of the emulsion polymer,
(a) greater than 15% to less than 30% of structural units of tert-butyl methacrylate,
(b) greater than 10% of structural units of a hydroxy-functional alkyl (meth)acrylate,
(c) structural units of a phosphorous-containing acid monomer and/or a salt thereof,
