Abstract

The present subject matter relates to a polyurethane composition comprising a polyurethane with at least one free acid group salted with a biguanide free base.

First claim

1 . A polyurethane composition comprising a polyurethane with at least one free acid group salted with a biguanide free base.

2 . The composition of claim 1 , wherein the at least one free acid group comprises at least one of carboxylic acid, sulfonic acid, or phosphonic acid.

3 . The composition of claim 1 , wherein the biguanide free base comprises a bisbiguanide free base.

4 . The composition of claim 1 , wherein the biguanide free base comprises at least one of chlorhexidine free base, alexidine free base, polyhexanide free base, or polyaminopropyl biguanide free base.

5 . The composition of claim 1 , wherein the polyurethane comprises the reaction product of:
a. a polyisocyanate component having on average two or more isocyanate groups; b. a poly(alkylene oxide) tethered and/or terminal macromonomer, wherein the alkylene of the alkylene oxide has from 2 to 10 carbon atoms, wherein the macromonomer has a number average molecular weight of at least 300 g/mole and one or more functional reactive groups characterized as active hydrogen groups, the reactive groups primarily at one end of the macromonomer, such that the macromonomer has at least one non-reactive end, and at least 50 wt. % of the alkylene oxide repeat units of the macromonomer are between the non-reactive end of the macromonomer and the closest reactive group of the macromonomer to the non-reactive terminus; c. an isocyanate-reactive compound having at least one free acid group; and d. optionally at least one active-hydrogen containing compound other than (b) or (c).

6 . The composition of claim 1 , wherein the polyurethane has from 12 wt. % to about 80 wt. % of alkylene oxide units present in the poly(alkylene oxide) macromonomer.

7 . The composition of claim 1 , wherein the at least one free acid group is salted with a biguanide free base to create an ionic salt bond between the at least one free acid group and the biguanide.

8 . The composition of claim 1 , wherein the molar ratio of biguanide to the at least one free acid group is from 1.2:1 to 0.1:1.

9 . The composition of claim 1 , wherein the at least one free acid group is present in the polyurethane at a concentration of from 0.002 to 5 millimoles/gram of polyurethane before being salted with the biguanide free base.

10 . The composition of claim 1 , wherein the biguanide free base is present in the composition at an amount of from 0.25 to 10 wt. %, based on the total weight of the polyurethane.

11 . The composition of claim 1 , wherein the polyurethane has from 40 to 80 wt. % alkylene oxide repeat units present in repeat units of the macromonomer.

12 . The composition of claim 1 , wherein the poly(alkylene oxide) chains of the macromonomer have number average molecular weights from about 88 to 10,000 g/mole.

13 . The composition of claim 1 , wherein the poly(alkylene oxide) chains of the macromonomer have at least 50% ethylene oxide units based on their total alkylene oxide units.

14 . A coating comprising the composition of claim 1 , used as a coating on a surface.
