Abstract:
The present invention relates to polyaspartates corresponding to the formula wherein X represents the residue obtained by removing the amino groups from a polyether polyamine having a functionality of n and a number average molecular weight of less than 600, wherein the amino groups are attached to primary carbon atoms and the ether groups are separated by at least two carbon atoms, R and R are identical or different and represent organic groups which are inert to isocyanate groups at a temperature of 100Â C. or less, R and R are identical or different and represent hydrogen or organic groups which are inert towards isocyanate groups at a temperature of 100Â C. or less and n is 2 to 4. The present invention also relates to polyureas prepared by reacting the polyaspartates and optionally other isocyanate-reactive compounds with polyisocyanates.
