Synthesis of biurets and isocyanates with alkoxysilane functions, formulations containing same and use thereof
The invention relates to a composition and a method of preparing one such composition and an isocyanatoalkoxysilane; the polyisocyanate composition contains at least two different oligomeric compounds comprising at least three units and at most five units selected from aminoalkylsilane units and diamine units and at least one function selected from isocyanate functions and from those derived therefrom, the aforementioned compounds having at least two aminoalkylsilane units and another compound having at least two diamine units; the invention is suitable for coatings.
1. A process for the preparation of an isocyanate composition comprising biuret functional groups, comprising the steps of (a) reacting at least one isocyanate monomer with an aminoalkylsilane to form an isocyanatoalkylsilane and (b) reacting the isocyanatoalkylsilane with an isocyanate to form a biuret,
where the amino portion of the aminoalkylsilane unit in the isocyanate composition is an amino group of the biuret.
2. The process as claimed in claim 1 , wherein at least 5% of biuret functional groups not carrying a silanoalkyl chain are formed with respect to the combined biuret functional groups in the composition.
3. The process as claimed in claim 1 , wherein, expressed as equivalents, the ratio of the isocyanate functional groups to the number of hydrogens carried by the amine functional groups is at least 4.
4. The process as claimed in claim 1 , wherein at least 10% of biuret functional groups not carrying a silanoalkyl chain are formed with respect to the combined biuret functional groups.
5. The process as claimed in claim 1 , wherein, expressed as equivalents, the ratio of the isocyanate functional groups to the number of hydrogens carried by the amine functional groups is at least 8.
