摘要:
Very low viscosity polymer polyols having high styrene/acrylonitrile ratios and good stability may be achieved by the use of epoxy modified polyols as dispersants. The epoxy modified polyols useful as dispersants may be made by one of three methods: (1) adding the epoxy resin internally to the modified polyol, (2) capping or coupling a polyol not containing an epoxy resin with such a resin, and (3) providing the epoxy resin both internally to the polyol and as a cap or coupler. Epoxy modified polyols having a hydroxyl to epoxy ratio of about 8 or less, made by one of these techniques, are superior dispersants and provide polymer polyols having higher styrene contents, and improved stability and viscosity properties. In one aspect, the epoxy modified polyols contain a significant amount of high moleular weight polyol adducts; generally from about 5 to about 30 wt. % of materials having a GPC molecular weight of greater than 100,000; and at least greater than 80,000. Base polyols unmodified with an epoxy resin are used to make the polymer polyols.
摘要:
Low viscosity polymer polyol polyols having high styrene/acrylonitrile ratios and good stability may be achieved by the use of a high molecular weight (HMW) dispersant polyol comprising less than 5 wt. % of the total polyol component of the polymer polyol. The HMW dispersant should have a molecular weight higher than about 6000. Preferably, a semi-batch reactor is used, and a relatively high concentration of the HMW dispersant is initially charged to the reactor, relative to the portion of base polyol, which has a molecular weight of less than 4000.

Polymer dispersion polyols made by the free radical polymerization of a monomer mixture of at least a maleimide monomer and a copolymerizable styrenic monomer in an organic polyl medium are disclosed. The resulting polymer polyols are suitable for use to prepare flame retardant polyurethanes.

Low viscosity polymer polyols having high styrene/acrylonitrile ratios and good stability may be achieved by the use of a base polyol having a molecular weight higher than 4000, for example, from 4000 to 6500 and a high molecular weight (HMW) dispersant. The dispersant polyol may range from 1 to 20 wt. %, but may be less than 5 wt. % of the total polyol component of the polymer polyol. The HMW dispersant should have a molecular weight higher than about 6000. Preferably, a semi-batch reactor is used, and a relatively high concentration of the HMW dispersant is initially charged to the reactor, relative to the portion of base polyol. Monomer ratios of styrene to acrylonitrile of 85/15 may be achieved with this method.
摘要:
Polyacrylate graft-polyols are found to be homogeneous liquids useful as dispersants in vinyl polymer polyols. The novel polyacrylate graft-polyols are made by polymerizing at least one acrylate monomer in a polyol where the resultant polyacrylate is soluble in the polyol used. The polyol may be a polyoxyalkylene polyether polyol. No copolymer or unsaturated polyol is required to make vinyl polymer polyols having high styrene/acrylonitrile ratios, good stability and improved viscosity properties when these polyacrylate graft-polyol dispersants are employed. The vinyl polymer polyols are in turn useful in reactions with polyisocyanates in the presence of suitable catalysts to make polyurethane products.

Stable, fluid polymer polyols made by the free radical polymerization of a monomer mixture of an .alpha.,.beta.-ethylenically unsaturated dicarboxylic acid anhydride and a copolymerizable monomer in an organic polyol medium of secondary hydroxyl terminated polyol are disclosed. In one embodiment, the polymer polyols form stable, acrylonitrile-free dispersions.
摘要:
Monomers having at least two reactive ethylenically unsaturated sites may be polymerized via a free-radical reaction in the presence of a polyol to produce a dispersant useful in preparing polymer polyols that find uses as coreactants to produce polyurethane foams. The monomers include, but are not limited to, polyethylenically unsaturated maleimides and acrylates. The dispersants prepared in this manner can be used in very small quantities, about 2 to 5 wt. % of the total polyol and still produce a styrene/acrylonitrile polymer polyol with high solids and high styrene levels.
摘要:
A stable, low viscosity polymer polyol composition comprising a continuous phase, a disperse phase within the continuous phase, and a dispersant for enhancing the stability of the resultant polymer polyol is disclosed. In one embodiment, the dispersant is formed by polymerizing at least one acrylate monomer in a polyether polyol to form a single phase homogeneous liquid intermediate reaction product which is transesterified to form a polyol polyacrylate dispersant.
摘要:
Low viscosity polymer polyols having high styrene/acrylonitrile ratios and good stability may be achieved by the use of epoxy resin-modified polyols as the base polyols. The styrene/acrylo-nitrile ratio may be as high as 95/5 and even 100/0 in the polymer polyols. The epoxy resin-modified polyols useful as base polyols may be made by reacting a polyol initiator having an active hydrogen functionality of 3 to 8 and one or more alkylene oxides with an epoxy resin. It is preferred that only a small part of the epoxy resin-modified base polyol be initially charged to the reactor, and that the balance, a relatively larger part, be a part of the monomer feed stream to the reactor.
摘要:
Dispersants that are the reaction product of polyoxyalkylene polyether polyols with polymers containing anhydride groups are discussed. These dispersants may be used in the production of polymer polyols having high styrene contents and high solids contents. The polymers containing the anhydride groups may be preformed polymers which are then reacted with the polyol, or may be formed in the polyol directly prior to esterification with the polyol to form the dispersants. Maleic anhydride and methacrylic arthydride and derivatives thereof are examples of monomers suitable for the dispersants. Polymer polyols made using these dispersants may be reacted with polyisocyanates to produce polyurethanes.
