Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a process for the production of urethane- or isocyanurate-modified polyisocyanates based on a starting diisocyanate selected from (i) 2,4-diisocyanatotoluene or mixtures thereof with up to about 35%, based on the mixture, of 2,6-diisocyanatotoluene, (ii) mixtures of the diisocyanates mentioned under (i) with up to 80 NCO equivalent %, based on the mixture, of 1,6-diisocyanatohexane and (iii) 1-isocyanato-3,3,5-trimethyl-5-isocyanatomethyl cyclohexane by reacting the starting diisocyanate with substoichiometric quantities of polyhydric alcohols or trimerizing a portion of the isocyanate groups of the starting diisocyanate, removing sufficient excess, unreacted starting diisocyanate to obtain modified polyisocyanates containing at most 3% by weight, based on solids, of monomeric starting diisocyanate, characterized in that, the content of starting diisocyanate is further reduced by adding at least 10 mol-% water, based on the content of unreacted 2,4-diisocyanatotoluene or 1-isocyanato-3,3,5-trimethyl-5-isocyanatomethyl cyclohexane present, to the modified polyisocyanates.The present invention is also directed to the low-monomer polyisocyanates obtained by this process and their use as the binder component in one-component or two-component polyurethane lacquers.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to N,N'-bis-(4-isocyanatocyclohexyl)urea obtained from the reaction with water of cyclohexane-1,4-diisocyanate having a high trans isomer content. This invention further relates to the process for preparing the N,N'-bis(4-isocyanatocyclohexyl)urea and to its use in the synthesis of polyurethanes.
Abstract:
Addition of controlled amounts of water to the reaction mixture produced by phosgenation of a mixture of polymethylene polyphenyl polyamines (and like polyamines produced by condensation of formaldehyde and aromatic amines) prior to complete removal of excess phosgene gives rise to the corresponding polymethylene polyphenyl polyisocyanates having significantly improved properties. Not only is the color of the product, and of polyurethane foams prepared therefrom, significantly lighter but the proportion of higher molecular weight products is significantly less and the viscosity is less. No undesirable by-products are introduced into the polyisocyanate as a result of the process.
Abstract:
SOLID PARTICLES ARE PROVIDED WITH A CROSS-LINKED POLYMERIC COATING HAVING A HIGH CONCENTRATION OF REACTIVE SURFACE ISOCYANATE GROUPS. AN ORGANIC POLYISOCYANATE WITH AN NCO FUNCTIONALITY OF AT LEAST 3 IS DISSOLVED IN AN APROTIC SOLVENT, INERT TO THE PARTICLES TO BE COATED AND THEN MIXED WITH A LIMITED AMOUNT OF WATER. THE PARTICLES TO BE COATED ARE CONTACTED WITH THE REACTION MIXTURE FORMED ABOVE UNTIL A CROSS-LINKED POLYMER IS ABSORBED OVER THE ENTIRE SURFACE OF THE PARTICLES. THE PARTICLES ARE THEN RECOVERED FROM THE REACTION MIXTURE AND STORED IN AN INERT ATMOSPHERE UNTIL FURTHER USE. A CATALYST MAY BE USED. THE SOLID PARTICLES COATED MAY BE ORGANIC, INORGANIC, POLYMERIC OR SILCEOUS. THE COATED PARTICLES ARE USEFUL AS FILLERS IN POLYMERIC SYSTEMS.
Abstract:
A process for producing an organic polyisocyanate having a long storage life which comprises reacting an aliphatic, alicyclic or araliphatic diisocyanate monomer with water in the presence of a solvent comprising a mixture of at least one ethylene glycol derivative represented by the formula (I):R.sub.1 O(CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 O).sub.n R.sub.2 (I)wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2, which may be the same or different, each represents an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, which may be straight chain or branched chain, or an acetyl group and n is an integer of 1 to 2; and at least one phosphoric acid derivative represented by the formula (II): ##STR1## wherein R.sub.3 R.sub.4 and R.sub.5, which may be the same or different, each represents a methyl group or an ethyl group.
Abstract:
An aliphatic polyisocyanate is prepared by adding water to a mixture containing an aromatic hydrocarbon or a nucleus substituted derivative thereof and hexamethylene diisocyanate, which is preliminarily heated at a temperature in the range from 100* to 140*C, under agitation in an amount of 3/1 to 2/1 in terms of molar ratio of hexamethylene diisocyanate to water to react with hexamethylene diisocyanate at said temperature.
Abstract:
A polyurethane, being the reaction product of a polyester or polyether polyol with 1.5 to 2.5 equivalents of polyisocyanate, 0.05 to 0.40 equivalents of water cured with a polyol having less than 800 molecular weight.
