Patent ID: 7005002

Claim:
A branched macropolyol comprising reacted units of A) at least one dicarboxylic acid component comprising 1) at least 85 mol % of at least one of a cycloaliphatic 1,2-dicarboxylic acid, an anhydride thereof or an ester thereof, and 2) not more than 15 mol % of at least one of a further dicarboxylic acid, an anhydride thereof or an ester thereof; and B) at least one alcohol component comprising 1) from 5 to 30 mol % of at least one at least trifunctional alcohol, and 2) from 70 to 95 mol % of at least one further diol, wherein the branched macropolyol has a functionality of from 3.5 to 10.0, an M n of from 2,000 to 10,000 g/mol, an M w of from 8,000 to 60,000 g/mol, a polydispersity of from 2.5 to 30, an OH number of from 0 to 150 mg KOH/g, an acid number of from 0 to 4.9 mg KOH/g, and a dynamic viscosity at 65% in a 3:1 mixture of aromatic hydrocarbons having a distillation range of 180 to 207° C. and butyl glycol of from 1,000 to 20,000 mPa·s.
