Full Description:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION 
     The present invention relates to solvent-free, two-component, polyurethane reactive compositions (2C-PUR) modified with special soft resins, for the production hydrophobic coatings that have good elongation, withstand cathodic protection and have long term temperature resistance. 
     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     To protect oil and gas pipelines, and also the ballast tanks of ships, from corrosion, coatings are required that are highly hydrophobic, are impact-resistant, have good elongation and withstand cathodic protection. Fusion bonded epoxide (FBE) systems, applied as a primer (optionally 2 coats) are known for coating pipelines. Here the powder is reacted on the hot pipe. The FBE coating is coated with polyethylene/polypropylene (PE/PP) by the sintering process, or a coating is built up with adhesive, PU foam and polyethylene. PUR systems applied as wet coatings both to the cold pipe or the field joints also known in the prior art. The pre-coated pipes are bent on site before incorporation into the pipeline network. 
     A disadvantage of the prior art is that the FBE coatings are brittle and do not have either stone impact resistance or elongation. The bending stresses arising when laying pipelines lead to the formation of cracks in the coating and thus the loss of corrosion protection. FBE systems can be applied for repairs on site or to coat field joints only at great cost (higher energy requirement) and with low productivity. EP-Wet systems cannot be used on site below 0° C. The disadvantages of the pure some cases have lower tolerance of cathodic protection. The hydrophilic properties of the 2C-PUR systems require layer thicknesses of &gt;1000 μm for corrosion protection of pipes and ballast tanks. 
     An object of the present invention is to provide solvent-free, liquid primers for the corrosion protection of pipes, which 
     a) have a long term temperature resistance of up to 30° C. and at the same time withstand cathodic protection, 
     b) have an elongation at break of at least &gt;5% and are impact resistant, 
     c) provide long term protection even in thinner coats of 600-900 pm because they are more hydrophobic, 
     d) can be applied both on site and in a workshop, and cure at temperatures below 0° C., 
     e) can be used both for the pipe and for the field joints and 
     f) have a longer pot life (up to 15 minutes) and a longer surface-working time (up to 50 minutes). 
     These objects may be achieved with the polyurethane reactive compositions of the present invention as described hereinafter.
