Abstract

Abstract Disclosed is a process for making carboxylic acid-containing mono- and polyether polyol addition products by reacting maleic acid, fumaric acid, or mixtures thereof with at least one polyhydroxy-containing mono- or polyether compound (e.g. a polyether diol or triol) in the presence of a peroxy-type free radical initiator. Also disclosed are the processes of making polyurethane prepolymers and aqueous polyurethane dispersions from these carboxylic acid-containing mono- and polyether polyol addition products and processes for using these dispersions in coatings, adhesives and other useful products.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim 73 words
A process for making carboxylic acid-containing monoether and polyether polyol addition products comprising the step of: (a) reacting at least one polyhydroxy-containing monoether or polyether compound with an ethylenically unsaturated dicarboxylic acid selected from the group consisting of maleic acid, fumaric acid, and mixtures thereof in the presence of a peroxy-type free-radical initiator, said weight ratio of said polyhydroxy-containing monoether or polyether compound to said acid being from about 99:1 to about 70:30.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 73 words
A process for making carboxylic acid-containing monoether and polyether polyol addition products comprising the step of: (a) reacting at least one polyhydroxy-containing monoether or polyether compound with an ethylenically unsaturated dicarboxylic acid selected from the group consisting of maleic acid, fumaric acid, and mixtures thereof in the presence of a peroxy-type free-radical initiator, said weight ratio of said polyhydroxy-containing monoether or polyether compound to said acid being from about 99:1 to about 70:30.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 30 words
The process of claim 1 wherein said polyhydroxy-containing monoether or polyether compound is derived from polyhydric initiators selected from the group consisting of aliphatic diols, aliphatic triols, and mixtures thereof.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 25 words
The process of claim 1 wherein said reaction is carried out at a temperature in the range from about 25° C. to about 150° C.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 68 words
