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 preparation of flexible foams are the reaction products of alkylene oxides (eg 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, glycerol, trimethylolpropane, triethanolamine, pentaerythritol and sorbitol; polyamines such as ethylenediamine , toluenediamine, diaminodiphenylmethane, and polymethylene polyphenylene polyamine; and amino alcohols, 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 polysulfides, polyamides, polyesteramides, polycarbonates, polyacetals, polyolefins, polysilo...

example 1- example 4 and comparative example A

[0118] The examples described in Table I include formulated polyol blends reacted with MDI. The MDI had the isocyanate content as described in Table I. The polyol blend (B-side material) was mixed with polymeric MDI (A-side material) in a polyurethane dispenser. Such dispensing machines are commercially available, eg standard machines from equipment suppliers such as Henneke, KraussMaffei and Cannon. In the examples prepared as described in Table 1, the formulations were subjected to the following processing conditions:

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

[0120] The dispensing pressure at a material temperature of 20°C is typically in the range of abou...

Description

[0001] Related applications [0002] This application claims the benefit of US Provisional Application No. 62 / 584,167, filed November 10, 2017. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to a foam-in-place polyurethane foam system and a method of making foam from such a system. Background technique [0004] Flexible polyurethane foam is a recognized commercial article; 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, transport upholstery, carpet backing and packaging applications. Generally, reaction mixtures of polyols, polyisocyanates, catalysts, and / or other additives are used to prepare foam-forming polyurethane reaction mixture compositions, which in turn can be used to create flexible polyurethane foams. However, there is a huge difference in the compositional characteristics of the isocyanate compound and the hydrox...
