Abstract:
This invention relates to stable, low-viscosity polymer polyols and to a process for preparing these stable, low-viscosity polymer polyols, These polymer polyols comprise (a) a base polyol component that comprises a natural oil base polyol having a mean hydroxy I functionality of 1.7 to 5.0, a number average molecular weight of about 350 to about 725, and an OH number of 190 to 500.
Abstract:
Preformed stabilizers useful for the production of low viscosity, high solids polymer polyols are produced by free-radical polymerization of: (a) at least one ethylenically unsaturated macromolecule or macromer with (b) at least three different ethylenically unsaturated monomers in the presence of (c) at least one free-radical polymerization initiator, and, optionally, (d) a liquid diluent, and, optionally, (e) a chain transfer agent.
Abstract:
This invention relates to nitrile-free azo initiators for the preparation of polymer polyols and to the polymer polyols prepared therefrom. These novel polymer polyols comprise a base polyol, a preformed stabilizer and at least one ethylenically unsaturated monomer, in the presence of at least one free-radical polymerization initiator comprising as azo compound that is free of nitrile groups, and optionally, a polymer control agent. The process of preparing these polymer polyols is a continuous process comprising free-radically polymerizing a base polyol, a preformed stabilizer, and at least one ethylenically unsaturated monomer, in the presence of at least one free-radical polymerization initiator comprising as azo compound that is free of nitrile groups, and optionally, a polymer control agent.
