Abstract
Water dispersions, lattices or emulsions of polyurethane elastomers permit the application of polyurethanes from an aqueous medium. Only water evaporates during the drying process, thus rendering these systems safe with regard to the environment. They are non-toxic, non-flammable and do not pollute air or waste water. Another significant advantage is the fact that the molecular weight can be adjusted to any extent, without changing the viscosity properties or flow properties.
