Abstract

Novel polyester diols are described containing aliphatically saturated divalent diacyl moieties and olefinically unsaturated divalent diacyl moieties in a mole ratio of 0.25:1 to 3:1; and divalent dioxy moieties which are linear and/or branched, preferably divalent branched dioxy moieties and divalent linear dioxy moieties in a mole ratio of 0.3:1 to 3:1, the diacyl moieties being bonded through ester linkage to the dioxy moieties in a mole ratio of at least 1.75 dioxy moieties per diacyl moiety, wherein the polyester diol is end-blocked essentially only by alcoholic hydroxyl groups and has an acid number of less than 3. The novel polyester diols are highly useful in the production of polyurethane/vinyl polymer copolymers by reaction with polyisocyanates and polymerizable ethylenically unsaturated monomers. The polyester diols can be used for this purpose by mixing same with the polymerizable ethylenically unsaturated monomer, a catalyst capable of catalyzing polyurethane-forming reactions of polyisocyanates and polyhydroxyl compounds and the resulting compositions can be used in batch or automated molding operations. The novel tough polyurethane/vinyl polymer copolymers, reinforce…
