Aqueous polyurethone dispersions ore used widely in the coatings industry b
ecause of their high performance. A new technology has been developed to ac
hieve enhanced properties of aqueous urethanes and ureithane-acrylics throu
gh the design of unique (self) crosslinkable polyols. Synthesis and propert
ies of a wide range of urethanes and urethone-acrylics with varying crossli
nking densities and structures will be discussed.
