Abstract:
This invention relates to a process for preparing low density polyurethane foams using relatively large amounts of methylene chloride as the foaming agent in the presence of a stannous carboxylate as the gel catalyst and a foaming catalyst comprising an antimony compound, a base, and a nitrogen-containing organic compound.
Abstract:
Structural discontinuities, commonly referred to as splits and voids, which are prevalent in flexible and semiflexible polyurethane foams that have been rendered flame resistant using halogen-containing polymers in combination with antimony oxide are eliminated by the use of barium carbonate.
Abstract:
Vinyl chloride polymers are stabilized against the deteriorative effect of heat using a primary stabilizer selected from the group consisting of butyltin-S,S'', S''''-tris(isooctylmercaptoacetate) and butyltin tris(lauryl mercaptide); and an auxiliary stabilizer selected from the group consisting of tributyltin-Sisooctylmercaptoacetate, triphenyltin lauryl mercaptide and triphenyltin thiophenate.
