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 RIGID FIRE RETARDANT POLYURETHANE FOAM HAVING GOOD DIMENSIONAL STABILITY, MORE THAN 90% CLOSED CELLS AND A K FACTOR LESS THAN 0.13 IS PRODUCED BY REACTING WITH A POLYOL BLEND CONTAINING A SUCROSE POLYOL WHICH IS THE REACTION PRODUCT OF 8 TO 12 MOLS OF PROPYLENE OXIDE PER MOL OF SUCROSE OR A SUCROSE POLYOL WHICH IS THE REACTION PRODUCT OF 9 TO 12 MOLS OF PROPYLENE OXIDE PERMOL OD SUCROSE AN ISOCYANATO TERMINATED PREPOLYMER FORMED BY REACTING AN EXCESS OF A POLYMETHYLENE POLYPHENYL ISOCYANATE WITH A PHOSPHOURS-CONTANING POLYOL IN THE PRESENCE OF A BLOWING AGENT, SURFACTANT AND A CATALYST OF URETHANE FORMATION. THE RIGID FINE RETARDANT POLYURETHANE FOAMS THUS FORMED ARE PARTICULARY USEFUL FOR INSULATION PURPOSES.
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:
Superior sealing performance can be imparted to pail and drum covers by equipping them with flowed-in gaskets made from a composition comprising a nitrile rubber, a polyurethane prepolymer and a carbon dioxide blocked polyamine curing agent.
Abstract:
A METHOD FOR MAKING RIGID FOAM IS PROVIDED BY USING AN AMINE CATALYST AND BLOWING AGENT WITH A STABLE PREMIX OF AN ISOCYANATE TERMINATED PREPOLYMER AND AN EPOXY RESIN. THE PREMIX IS STABILIZED BY THE USE OF A DICARBONYL COMPOUND, SUCH AS AN ALIPHATICALLY UNSATURATED IMIDE OR ANHYDRIDE.
Abstract:
NOVEL HALOGEN OR PHOSPHORUS-CONTAINING PREPOLYMERS ARE EMPLOYED TO PREPARE POLYURETHANE COMPOSITIONS HAVING IMPROVED FIRE RETARDANT PROPERTIES.
Abstract:
Rigid polyurethane foam is formed by processes employing an organic compound or mixture of organic compounds that are nonreactive to isocyanate groups, which organic compound or mixture of organic compounds has an average molecular weight of at least 500 and contains chlorine, bromine and phosphorus. The rigid polyurethane foam moldings obtained by the processes are flameresistant while being resistant to impact and boiling water.
Abstract:
PROCESS FOR PREPARING A FOAMABLE COMPOSITION BY FORMING AMIXTTURE OF A POLYMER OF POLYMER PRECURSOR, CURABLE ON CONTACT WITH THE ATMOSPHERE, AND A POLYMER-SOLUBLE INERT BLOWING AGENT UNDER SUCH A PRESSURE THAT THE BLOWING AGENT IS SUBSTANTIALLY IN CONDENSED FORM, THE MIXTURE BEING CAPABLE, UPON RELEASE OF THE PRESSURE, OF EXPANDING DUE TO VAPORISATION OF THE BLOWING AGENT TO FORM A FOAM WHICH THEN CURVES WITHOUT SUBSTANTIAL CHANGE IN VOLUME.
Abstract:
THIS INVENTION RELATES TO A METHOD FOR PREPARING POLYURETHANE FOAMS AND MICROCELLULAR ELASTOMERS WITH INTEGRAL SKINS WHICH ARE SUBSTANTIALLY NON-POROUS, SAID METHOD COMPRISING CONTACTING A MIXTURE OF SPECIFIED POLYOLS WITH A SPECIFIED QUASI-PREPOLYMER OF TOLUENE DIISOCYANATE IN THE PRESENCE OF A BLOWING AGENT AND A CATALYST SYSTEM CONSISTING OF A TETRAALKYLGUANIDINE AND SPECIFIED ORGANOMETALLIC COMPOUNDS.
