This invention relates to an aqueous
polyurethane composition comprising: a
liquid medium comprising at least one organic liquid having a
solubility in water of ≥4 g organic liquid / 100 g water at 25°C, and water; at least one
polyurethane polymer compound dispersed in the
liquid medium; and optionally at least one
coating formulation component. The
polyurethane composition further comprises at least one thickener comprising at least one anionic
polymer selected from anionic
polyacrylamide, anionic polymethacrylamide, anionic
polyacrylamide-polymethacrylamide, and / or a mixture of at least two thereof, and optionally, 0 to 0.12% by weight, preferably 0 to 0.05% by weight, more preferably 0 to 0.01% by weight, based on 100% of the total weight of the aqueous polyurethane composition, at least one compound selected from unbound or ionicly bound organic amines,
ammonia, or a mixture of at least two thereof, wherein the aqueous polyurethane composition has a pH value ≤ 8.5, and wherein the at least one thickener is different from the at least one
coating formulation component and the at least one polyurethane
polymer. The present invention further relates to a kit-of-parts for preparing a waterborne polyurethane composition, a method for preparing a waterborne polyurethane composition, and the use of the waterborne composition.
