Abstract:
A dispersion of a polyurea in an aromatic polyisocyanate is prepared by mixing the polyisocyanate with one or more aliphatic diprimary diamines having (a) at least one amine group attached to a carbon atom having not more than one hydrogen atom attached thereto or (b) at least one amine group attached to a carbon atom which is itself attached to a carbon atom having not more than one hydrogen atom attached thereto, provided that both amine groups are not attached directly to separate rings of an alkylene-linked polycyclic aliphatic ring system. The reaction preferably takes place at a temperature in the range 20.degree. C. to 60.degree. C. The polyurea dispersion products are useful for manufacture of polyurethane foams and elastomers of superior physical properties.
Abstract:
A process for the production of a modified isocyanate by reacting a composition containing carbodiimide groups and free isocyanate groups with a diester of an aliphatic dicarboxylic acid in the presence of oxalic or formic acid.The process permits the production of liquid forms of diphenylmethane diisocyanate useful in the manufacture of polyurethanes.
Abstract:
A cassette for a draw-out circuit breaker apparatus is disclosed. The cassette comprises a base having a front edge and a back edge, the back edge defining a back plane, a set of shutters disposed at the back plane and configured to open and close, and a set of shutter locks extending from the front edge to the back edge and in operable communication with the set of shutters. The shutter locks are biased toward a first position. In response to the shutter locks being driven toward a second position, the shutters are restrained from opening. The shutter locks are configured to be restrained in the second position.
Abstract:
An accessory for providing mechanical communication between a rotatable latching shaft and an actuation device of an electrical circuit breaker includes a lever, a working surface, and a snap fitting. The lever includes an engagement orifice. The engagement orifice is receptive to the rotatable latching shaft. The working surface is in mechanical communication with the actuation device. The snap fitting is securely mated with the rotatable latching shaft.
Abstract:
A method for the preparation of a liquid diphenylmethane diisocyanate composition which comprises reacting one molar proportion of substantially pure 4,4'-diphenylmethane diisocyanate, as hereinbefore defined, with from 0.01 to 0.8 molar proportions of a monoalkoxy polyalkylene glycol of the formula: ##STR1## wherein R represents an alkyl group containing from 1 to 12 carbon atoms, R.sup.1 represents hydrogen or an alkyl group containing from 1 to 3 carbon atoms and n is an integer of from 2 to 58, the reaction being performed at a temperature of from 100.degree. to 250.degree. C. and in the presence of a catalyst for the NCO/OH reaction.The liquid diisocyanate compositions are useful in the manufacture of polyurethanes, especially elastomers and flexible foams.
