Abstract

Polyurethane polyols (PUPOs) and melamine polyols (MEPOs), invented by AkzoNobel Coatings, offer valuable alternatives to the commonly used polyester and acrylic polyols and new formulating tools for the development of novel coatings. The resin chemistry is based on the predominantly selective reactivity of α,β- and α,γ-diols with commonly used polyisocyanate and melamine formaldehyde crosslinkers. The resulting low molecular weight, hydroxyl functional resins are suitable for use in low VOC coatings. By choosing the appropriate crosslinker, diol, and modifier, the chemical structures of these resins can be altered to obtain the desired properties of the coatings. Synthesis methods for novel PUPOs and MEPOs and properties of one component and two component coatings containing them are described.
