摘要:
A method of forming a polyol includes the steps of reacting an initiator with an alkylene oxide, and optionally carbon dioxide, in the presence of a double metal cyanide catalyst and a sterically hindered chain transfer agent capable of protonating the growing polyol polymer. The presence of the chain transfer agent reduces the polydispersity of the resultant polyol.

A polyethercarbonate polyol includes polyethercarbonate segments, polycarbonate segments, and polyether segments. A method of forming the polyethercarbonate polyol provides a catalyst, including a multimetal cyanide compound, and reacts an H-functional initiator, an alkylene oxide, and carbon dioxide in the presence of the multimetal cyanide compound to form the polyethercarbonate polyol. Amounts of each segment in the polyethercarbonate polyol are selectively controlled.

A resin composition includes a polyol and is used to form flexible foams. The resin composition also includes water and an alkoxylate of an active hydrogen containing species. The alkoxylate of the active hydrogen containing species acts in two separate ways. The alkoxylate acts as a blowing reaction modifier, thus maintaining slow-blow behavior of a foaming process that accompanies a reaction of the polyol with an isocyanate. The alkoxylate also acts as a compatibilizer. As the compatibilizer, the alkoxylate stabilizes the resin composition such that no phase separation occurs between the polyol, the water, and the alkoxylate. Stabilizing the resin composition allows for multiple day storage of the resin composition with no phase separation, thus extending useable shelf life and reducing production costs. Stabilizing the resin composition also allows for formation of flexible foams with consistent physical properties such as flexibility.
