Problems solved by technology

However, the use of large amounts of naturally occurring crude polyols (such as crude sucrose) for this purpose can pose various problems
First, naturally occurring crude polyols (such as crude sucrose) in the polyol component of the formulation can precipitate and deposit in shipping containers as well as handling equipment, thereby causing equipment damage during spraying
This precipitation can also affect the stoichiometry of the resulting polyurethane spray system, deteriorating reactivity and foam performance

Embodiment 1

[0086] Embodiment 1: the preparation of polyol

[0087] The ingredients and amounts listed in Table 1 were used to prepare polyether polyol compositions. To prepare the polyether polyol composition, the reactor temperature was set at 50°C and the reactor was charged with water, KOH and sucrose. The reactor temperature was raised to 100°C and the reactor pressure was vented to 5 psig. EO and PO were fed as a mixed feed at a rate sufficient to maintain a total reaction pressure of 30 to 45 psig. After complete addition of EO and PO, the reaction mixture was cooled to 80 °C and KOH was neutralized with 101% theoretical amount of 88% lactic acid in water. After neutralization, the reactor was charged with BHT and stirred for 30 minutes. Water is not removed from the polyol composition. The properties of the polyether polyol compositions are listed in Table 2.

Embodiment 2

[0103] Embodiment 2: Viscosity determination

[0104] A polyether polyol composition prepared as described in Example 1 was heated to 100°C and placed under increased vacuum to remove water. The vacuum was stopped and the pressure was restored to atmospheric using nitrogen and the samples were subjected to water and viscosity analysis (at 25 and 50°C) at several intervals. This process was repeated until the resulting polymer composition was too viscous to be removed from the stripping vessel. The results are shown in figure 1 and figure 2 middle. Viscosity was measured according to ASTM D4878 using a Brookfield RV-DVII viscometer with a small sample adapter and a #21 spindle.

Embodiment 3

[0105] Example 3: Foam formulation:

[0106] Using the polyether polyol composition described in Example 1 and using the ingredients and amounts shown in Table 3 (in % by weight, based on the total weight of the polyol formulation) to prepare a polyether polyol composition containing a flame retardant thing.

Abstract

Disclosed are compositions that comprise water and a polyether polyol derived from sucrose and an alkylene oxide, as well as polyurethane foam systems comprising such compositions, methods for their production, and the resulting polyurethane foams.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to compositions comprising water and polyether polyols derived from sucrose and alkylene oxides, as well as corresponding flame retardant-containing compositions and processes for producing polyurethane foams using them. Background technique [0002] Spray polyurethane foam is formed by combining a polyol component and a polyisocyanate component in the presence of a blowing agent. Polyether polyols are generally used for the polyol component. Such polyether polyols are generally prepared by reacting polyols with alkylene oxides in the presence of basic catalysts. [0003] In some cases, naturally occurring crude polyols, such as raw sucrose, have been included in the polyol component of spray polyurethane foam formulations because raw sucrose can be used as a flame retardant because it can "char" when burned. However, the use of large amounts of naturally occurring crude polyols, such as crude sucrose, for this purpose c...
