Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4.4 grams of polyoctadecyl carbamate-co-vinyl acetate having 50 mole % octadecyl carbamate (prepared in xylene at 40 percent solids as described above) and 1.58 grams of polyvinyl butyral (available under the trade designation "BUTVAR" B72 from Monsanto Company, St. Louis, Mo.) in a solvent mixture of 178.6 grams of 2-propanol, 20.6 grams of xylene and 59.9 grams of heptane was added 0.40 grams of 5,000 Mn polydimethylsiloxane diamine (PDMS, prepared following U.S. Pat. No. 5,512,650) and 0.50 grams of 1,3-diaminopentane (available under the trade designation "DYTEK" EP from DuPont) with stirring at 25° C. Next, 1.10 grams of isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI available from Huls or Bayer) was added at 25° C. with stirring and a slow nitrogen purge. The mixture was stirred for 30 minutes, and, in the presence of the polyoctadecyl carbamate-co-vinyl acetate and the polyvinyl butyral, the IPDI reacted with the PDMS diamine and the 1,3-diaminopentane to form a polydiorganosiloxane urea-containing component with 20 weight % PDMS and 80 weight % 1,3-diaminopentane/IPDI. The final product mixture was a homogeneous, hazy, approximately 3% solids solution of a polymer component (polyoctadecyl carbamate-co-vinyl acetate), a polydiorganosiloxane urea-containing component and polyvinyl butyral in a 55:25:20 solids weight ratio.
