Carbodiimides with carboxyl or carboxylate groups

摘要

New compounds with carbodiimide units and carboxyl or carboxylate groups are obtained from reaction of : (a) (ar)aliphatic 4-20C polyisocyanates with (b) hydroxycarboxylic acids or their salts and optionally also (c) further compounds giving an addition reaction with NCO groups and/or (d) other isocyanates. The carbodiimide units are derived exclusively from the NCO groups of reactant (a). An independent claim is also included for preparation of the compounds.
