A formulation to produce urethane linkages reacts cyclocarbonate groups with diamines. Aliphatic polyhydroxyl precursor molecules are first epoxidized. The invention does not require complete epoxidation, as it makes use of the unepoxidized hydroxyl groups of the precursor molecule. These hydroxyl groups are combined with isocyanate groups of prepolymer molecules to form urethane links. The use of prepolymers increases the networking, flexibility, and impact-resistance of the final product. The known formulations for amine hardeners also require complete carbonation of the epoxy groups to form reactive cyclocarbonate groups, which are reacted with diamines to form an amine hardener. In the proposed invention, both cyclocarbonate and epoxy groups are used to combine with the different diamine molecules by making use of the different reactivities of aliphatic, cycloaliphatic, and aromatic amine groups. This procedure not only increases the networking in the final polyurethane, it ensures that there are enough reactive amines to form the amine hardener. In addition, the resulting urethane contains hydroxyl groups which impart water-compatibility. The amine hardener can then be combined with any commercial epoxy resin to form a polyurethane that is water-compatible, non-toxic, has a low viscosity, and a high degree of penetrance into a surface, and after curing is impact-resistant, abrasion-resistant, chemical-resistant, strong, and flexible.
