Abstract

A process for the preparation of an aqueous dispersion of an auto-oxidatively drying polyurethane, comprising the steps of: a) forming the auto-oxidatively drying polyurethane by reacting an unsaturated fatty acid esterified polyol, a hydroxyl functional polyalkene having one or more unsaturated bonds in the backbone chain between 2 hydroxyl groups, a polyhydroxy carboxylic acid, a polyisocyanate, and optionally a diol having no polyunsaturation; b)optionally adding a neutralizing agent; and c) dispersing the product of step (a) or (b) in water to form an aqueous dispersion. The invention further relates to aqueous dispersions and coating compositions of an auto-oxidatively drying polyurethane, to hybrid dispersions further comprising a co-binder, preferably an acrylic binder as a co-dispersion, as a molecular hybrid or as a blend and to the use thereof for coating fabrics, plastics, wood, or metal.
