Abstract
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates to low viscosity polymer polyols that have a high hydroxyl number and a solids content of about 30 to about 65% by weight. This invention also relates to a process for the preparation of these novel polymer polyols. These polymer polyols have hydroxyl numbers of ≧20, solids contents of about 30 to about 65% by weight and a viscosity that is less than or equal to: be[2.7c]. These comprise the reaction product of a base polyol, a preformed stabilizer and at least one ethylenically unsaturated monomer, in the presence of a free-radical polymerization initiator and at least one polymer control agent.
[0002] Polymer polyol compositions are commercial products that have found use in a variety of applications primarily as constituents in the production of polyurethanes. Polyurethanes are suitable for the production of coatings, adhesives, sealants, elastomers, and flexible, semi-flexible and rigid foams. The primary function ...
