Abstract:
High density polyurethane foam is prepared by a quasiprepolymer technique. A ''''prepolymer composition'''' is formed by polymerising an organic polyol with a polyisocyanate and then adding a relatively large quantity of organo-tin catalyst (0.02 to 1% by weight) thereto, and is then reacted with a ''''reactant mixture'''' comprising an organic polyol, a polylfunctional cross linking agent, a blowing agent and 0.01 to 4% by weight of tertiary amine catalyst. By distributing the two catalysts between the prepolymer compositions and the reactant mixture in this manner, the two liquid compositions are stable, but, when mixed, the catalyst acts synergistically to give extremely low demould times for the foam.
Abstract:
Flexible high density polyurethane foam is produced by a quasiprepolymerisation technique in which a ''''prepolymer composition'''' which is obtained from a diisocyanate and a copolymer of an Epsilon -caprolactone, an epoxide and a monomeric diol chain initiator; is reacted with a ''''reactant mixture'''' which is a mixture of the copolymer and monomeric diol. The prepolymer composition and reactant mixture are stable, easily handled liquids which intermix easily and react quickly with each other, the presence of the diol in the reactant mixture facilitating mixing with the prepolymer composition to ensure good foam formation.
Abstract:
A PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF A COPOLYMER COMPRISING OXYALKYNE AND CARBOXYALKYLENE UNITS. A LACTONE AND AN OXYALKYLENE AND CARBOXYALKYLENE UNITS. A LACTONE AND ENCEOF A CATALYST. THE LACTONE AD EPOXIDE ARE ADDED SIMULTANEOUSLY TO THE CHAIN INITIATOR AT SUCH RATES THAT EACH OF THE LACTONE AND THE EPOXIDE REACT WITH THE CHAIN INITIATOR OR GROWING CHAIN AT SUBSTANTIALLY CONSTANT RATE DURING THE TOTAL ADDITION.
