The invention relates to dispersions of crosslinked polymer microparticles in aqueous media, which are characterized in that they have been prepared by (1) dispersing a mixture of components (A) and (B) in an aqueous medium, the component ( A) one or more polyester polyol (s) containing at least 2 hydroxyl groups, and component (B) consists of one or more polyisocyanate compound (s), and component (A) has a sufficient number of ionic groups to form a stable dispersion , preferably carboxylate groups, and at least some of the components (A) and / or (B) contain more than 2 hydroxyl groups or isocyanate groups per molecule and (2) the dispersion thus obtained has subsequently been heated to such an extent that the components (A ) and (B) have been converted into crosslinked polymer microparticles. |
