Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for purifying mixtures comprising 4,4'-methylene diphenyl diisocyanate, comprising the distillative purification of a mixture I comprising 4,4'-methylene diphenyl diisocyanate by means of a column K1, wherein the gaseous stream consisting of mixture I is contacted in column K1 with at least one liquid compound A which has a boiling point which is the same as or higher than 4,4'-methylene diphenyl diisocyanate, and wherein the gaseous stream O which is obtained at the top of the column and comprises 4,4'-methylene diphenyl diisocyanate is cooled to a temperature of 20°C to 60°C within not more than 5 seconds.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing an isocyanate, comprising hydrogenation of an amimne-ciontaining mixture (Gi) in the presence of a copper containing hydrogenation catalyst to give a mixture (Gii) containing the amine and reacting the mixture (Gii) with phosgene to give a mixture (Gii) containing the isocyanate. The invention further relates to the isocyanate which may be produced by said method.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for producing prepolymers containing isocyanate groups and urethane groups. The inventive method comprises the following steps a) at least one polyisocyanate having a stoichiometric deficit of at least one compound is reacted with at least two hydrogen atoms reacting with isocyanate groups, and b) the reaction product from step a) is distilled by means of a molecular evaporator.
