Daniel Otts - Jacksonville FL, US
International Classification:

C08G 18/08
US Classification:

524591000
Abstract:

A method for a waterborne photopolymerizable thiol-ene polyurethane dispersion including water, low molecular weight polyurethane prepolymer with terminal unsaturation and pendant acid groups, and a polyfunctional thiol. The dispersion can also include a neutralizing agent. After application of the dispersion to a surface, the water is evaporated and visible light or UV radiation is applied to form a crosslinked network film.
