Abstract

The present invention provides a multicomponent composition that is substantially isocyanate-free and comprises a polycarbamate as a first component having a filler, pigment, extender or matting agent and a second component containing an acidic catalyst an alkanol having one OH group, a polyaldehyde and an acetal or hemiacetal of the polyaldehyde. The compositions are shelf stable and useful as two components and avoid problems caused by combining the catalyst with any filler, pigment, extender or matting agent.

First claim

1 . A substantially isocyanate-free two component composition having a pH of 7.0 or less comprise as a first component one or more polycarbamate having two or more carbamate groups and one or more polymeric matting agent, filler, extender or pigment in the amount of from 1 to 80 wt. %, based on the total solids of the first component, and, as a second component, from5 to 90 wt. %, based on the total weight of the second component, of one or more alkanol having one OH group, one or more polyaldehyde and that has two or more aldehyde groups, such as a dialdehyde, preferably, a cyclic dialdehyde, or, preferably, a cycloaliphatic dialdehyde, one or more acetal or hemiacetal of the polyaldehyde from 0.01 to 10 wt. % of one or more catalyst having a pKa of less than 5.0, based on the total weight of solids in the composition, such that the first and second components when combined form a composition that reacts to cure at a temperature of from 0° C. to less than 80° C. to form a crosslinked polyurethane.

2 . The two-component composition as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the alkanol having one OH group is a primary alcohol.

3 . The two-component composition as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the catalyst is an organic or inorganic protic acid or salt thereof.

4 . The two-component composition as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the catalyst is a sulfonic acid.

5 . The two-component composition as claimed in claim 1 , wherein in the first component of the composition, the polycarbamate is the condensation product of one or more polyols with an unsubstituted carbamic acid alkyl ester or urea.

6 . The two-component composition as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the one or more polyols is an acrylic polyol, or an alkyd polyol.

7 . The two-component composition as claimed in claim 1 , wherein in the second component of the composition, the polyaldehyde from which the acetal or hemiacetal is formed preferably has a solubility in water of less than 0.15 gram of polyaldehyde per milliliter of water at 25° C.

8 . The two-component composition as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the polyaldehyde in the second component is chosen from (cis,trans)-1,4-cyclohexane dicarboxyaldehydes, (cis,trans)-1,3-cyclohexanedicarboxyaldehydes and mixtures thereof.

9 . The two-component composition as claimed in claim 1 , comprising one or more pigments, fillers or extenders chosen from any metal oxides, metal carbonates, silica, and alkali metal silicates.

10 . The two-component composition as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the blend ratio of the first component to the second component from is 2:1 to 5:1 by weight.
