Problems solved by technology

[0008] Some of the disadvantages encountered using the above known foam systems include, for example, that the resulting foam products produced with the known systems do not exhibit favorable processing characteristics, such as fast reactivity and fast demoulding, while still maintaining reduced emission behavior
In addition, the use of lower emissive catalysts in foam systems to prepare "in-situ fast-response and fast-release foam polyurethane foams" is challenging as compared to other polyurethane foams used in other applications systems, such foam systems require the use of large amounts of catalyst

preparation example Construction

[0056] Of particular importance for the production of flexible foams are the reaction products of alkylene oxides, such as ethylene oxide and / or propylene oxide, with initiators containing 2 to 8, preferably 3 to 8, active hydrogen atoms per molecule . Suitable initiators include: polyols such as ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, propylene glycol, dipropylene glycol, butylene glycol, glycerin, trimethylolpropane, triethanolamine, pentaerythritol, and sorbitol; polyamines such as ethylenediamine , toluenediamine, diaminodiphenylmethane, and polymethylenepolyphenylenepolyamine; and aminoalcohols, such as ethanolamine and diethanolamine; and mixtures of such initiators. Other suitable polyols include polyesters obtained by condensation of appropriate proportions of diols and higher functionality polyols with polycarboxylic acids. Still further suitable polyols include hydroxyl-terminated polythioethers, polyamides, polyesteramides, polycarbonates, polyacetals, polyolefins, pol...

[0118] The examples described in Table I include formulated polyol blends reacted with MDI. The MDI has the isocyanate content as described in Table I. The polyol blend (B side material) was mixed with the polymeric MDI (A side material) in a polyurethane dispenser. Such dispensing machines are commercially available as standard machines from equipment suppliers such as Henneke, KraussMaffei and Cannon. In the examples prepared as described in Table I, the formulations were subjected to the following processing conditions:

[0119] The dispenser is capable of mixing a given foam forming system at a given ratio of isocyanate to polyol. Ratio is controlled by pump / motor size. The dispensing temperature of the material is generally in the range of about 15°C to about 50°C. In the example, the temperature of the polymer T(poly) is 20°C; and the temperature of the isocyanate T(iso) is 20°C.

[0120] Dispensing pressures are typically in the range of about 100 bar to about 200 ...

Description

[0001] related application [0002] This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 584,167, filed November 10, 2017. technical field [0003] This invention relates to a blow-in-place polyurethane foam system and a method of making foam from such a system. Background technique [0004] Flexible polyurethane foam is a recognized article of commerce; and various polyurethane foam systems are known for producing flexible polyurethane foam for a wide variety of commercial applications, such as in cushioning, seating , bedding, furniture, transportation upholstery, carpet underlayment and packaging applications. Generally, a reaction mixture of polyol, polyisocyanate, catalyst, and / or other additives is used to prepare a foam-forming polyurethane reaction mixture composition, which in turn can be used to produce flexible polyurethane foam. However, there are great differences in the compositional characteristics of isocyanate compounds and hydroxy c...
