Problems solved by technology

The process also introduces a large number of primary hydroxyl groups into the final product, which can affect its reactivity in a way that makes the production less suitable for conventional slabstock foam manufacture

example 1

[0125] Example 1 and Comparative Samples A, B and C

[0126] Polyol A is a 3500 molecular weight nominal trifunctional copolymer with 92% propylene oxide and 8% ethylene oxide. It is manufactured using a potassium hydroxide catalyst from which residues have been removed. It contains about 0.1% by weight of water. Less than 2% of its hydroxyl groups are primary and the remainder are secondary.

[0127] The seed PIPA polyol is a 10% solids PIPA polyol manufactured in a conventional manner using a base polyol with predominantly primary hydroxyl groups and TEOA (see WO2012 / 154831 ).

[0128] Charge 88 parts polyol A and 2 parts seed PIPA polyol into a high speed laboratory mixer. With rapid stirring, 5.32 parts of room temperature toluene diisocyanate (80% 2,4-isomer, "80 / 20 TDI") were added. After the toluene diisocyanate addition was complete, the mixture was stirred for 60 seconds followed by the addition of 0.4 parts of tin octoate catalyst. After an additional 60 seconds...

example 2 and 3

[0132] Polyol B is a nominally trifunctional copolymer of propylene oxide and ethylene oxide with a hydroxyl number of approximately 48. It is manufactured using a zinc hexacyanocobaltate catalyst complex. It contains about 0.1% by weight of water. Not more than 15% of its hydroxyl groups are primary and the remainder are secondary.

[0133] To make Example 2, 87.68 parts of room temperature polyol B were mixed with 0.2 parts of zinc formate catalyst, 2 parts of seed PIPA polyol, 0.1 parts of triethylenediamine catalyst solution, and 5.52 parts of 80 / 20 TDI on a laboratory speed mixer for two minutes, during which time 4.5 parts of triethanolamine were added with continued mixing. Mixing was continued for an additional 5 minutes without application of heat, during which time a stable PIPA dispersion was obtained.

[0134] Particle size is measured using a Beckman Coulter LS particle size analyzer. Essentially all particles are between 0.1 and 1 μm in size. The viscosity o...

example 3

[0137] Example 3 has a narrower particle size distribution than Example 2. This can be attributed to the preheating of the base polyol in Example 3. This reduces the viscosity of the TEOA, which may allow better dispersion of the triethanolamine in the base polyol mixture. In any event, such a narrow distribution of fine PIPA particles in the final PIPA polyol is unexpectedly obtained using the method of reacting the TEOA at the end.

Abstract

PIPA polyols are made in a two-step process. In the first step, a base polyether polyol and a polyisocyanate are reacted to form a mixture that contains unreacted base polyol, unreacted polyisocyanate and adducts of the base polyol and polyisocyanate. A low equivalent weight polyol is then added and reacted in a second step to form the dispersion. The process unexpectedly produces a stable dispersion of the fine PIPA particles in the base polyol, even when the base polyol contains mostly secondary hydroxyl groups. The process also permits the tuning of product viscosity by increasing or decreasing the extent of reaction in the first step.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a process for the production of dispersions of polyisocyanate polyaddition particles in polyols which are suitable for the production of flexible polyurethane foams. Background technique [0002] Different types of "polymer polyols" are widely used as raw materials for the manufacture of flexible polyurethane foams and other polyurethane products. It has a continuous phase consisting of one or more compounds having multiple hydroxyl groups (ie the "base polyol") dispersed in small particles of another polymer. When polymer polyols are used to make polyurethane foam, the dispersed polymer particles help to form open cells and increase the load bearing of the foam. [0003] Several different types of polymer polyols are produced industrially. One type is known as "polyisocyanate polyaddition" polyol or "PIPA" polyol, which is produced by the reaction of a low equivalent weight polyol with a polyisocyanate in the presence of a b...
