Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This disclosure relates to polyol compositions for polyurethane foams. [Background technology]

[0002] Polyurethane foam is manufactured by mixing polyether polyols and / or polyester polyols with isocyanate compounds and blowing agents, and then reacting and foaming them.

[0003] Traditionally, flame retardants have been added to polyurethane foam to make it flame-retardant. These flame retardants have primarily been liquid at room temperature, such as phosphate ester monomers.

[0004] Generally, when liquid phosphate ester monomers at room temperature are used as flame retardants in polyurethane foam, they have a plasticizing effect, which can easily lead to a decrease in the moldability of the polyurethane foam as the amount of flame retardant used increases.

[0005] To solve the above problem, a method has been proposed using a chlorine-containing polyether polyol obtained by adding a chlorine-containing alkylene oxide to a bifunctional or more active hydrogen compound to a predetermined molecular weight using a Lewis acid catalyst or a complex metal cyanide catalyst (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

By using a foam stabilizer, the size of the bubbles in the polyurethane foam can be controlled. Generally, polyether / siloxane-type organosilicon surfactants having linear, branched, or pendant structures are used. For example, polydimethylolsiloxane-polyalkylene oxide block copolymers and vinylsilane-polyalkyl polyol polymers can be used. The amount of foam stabilizer added is preferably in the range of 0.1 to 5 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the polyol composition, as this helps to stabilize the bubble structure and size. <<Catalyst>> As the catalyst included in the polyurethane foam composition, known catalysts can be used. Examples include tertiary amine compounds and organometallic compounds.

[0074] Examples of tertiary amine compounds are not particularly limited, but include triethylamine, triethylenediamine, N,N-dimethylbenzylamine, N-methylmorpholine, and diazabicycloundecene. Commercially available products can be used, and for example, triethylenediamine (TEDA-L33) and bis(dimethylaminoethyl) ether (TOYOCAT-ET) are preferably used.

[0077] Among the urethane catalysts mentioned above, dibutyltin dilaurate (also known as DBTDL), dioctyltin dilaurate (also known as DOTDL), and tin 2-ethylhexanoate are preferred in terms of reactivity and hygiene.

[0078] The catalysts mentioned above, such as tertiary amine compounds and organometallic compounds, can be used individually, but two or more can also be used in combination. <Preparation of compositions for polyurethane foam> The method for preparing the polyurethane foam composition is not particularly limited, but a preferred method is to prepare a mixture (polyol premix) consisting of the remaining components excluding the isocyanate compound, which is then mixed with the isocyanate compound, as this method offers excellent handling and polyurethane production efficiency.

[0079] The preparation of the polyol premix involves adding a catalyst to a polyol composition for polyurethane foam, followed by the addition of a foam stabilizer and a blowing agent. <Polyurethane foam> A polyurethane foam according to one aspect of the present invention is obtained by reacting and foaming the polyurethane foam composition (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the foaming stock). For example, it can be produced by reacting and foaming a polyol composition for polyurethane foam according to one aspect of the present invention with an isocyanate compound in the presence of a foaming agent, a foam stabilizer, a catalyst, etc.

[0080] Polyurethane foams are broadly classified into flexible and rigid types, but when obtaining polyurethane foam using a polyol composition for polyurethane foam according to one aspect of the present invention, conventionally known manufacturing methods can be applied to both flexible and rigid foams. For example, to obtain a flexible foam, either a conventionally known method (slab foaming) in which the foaming liquid is discharged onto a belt conveyor and foamed at atmospheric pressure and room temperature, or a conventionally known method (mold foaming) in which the foaming liquid is injected into a mold and foamed and molded can be employed.

[0081] From the viewpoint of preventing the separation of each component of the foaming concentrate, it is preferable to prepare the foaming concentrate in advance immediately before discharging or injecting it onto the belt conveyor or into the mold. In this case, the temperature of the foaming concentrate is preferably 10 to 50°C, more preferably 20 to 45°C, and even more preferably 20 to 40°C.

[0082] In the case of slab foaming, foaming and curing are carried out on a belt conveyor belt under atmospheric pressure and at room temperature. As the foaming machine exits, it is cut into large blocks to produce flexible polyurethane foam. In mold foaming, the foaming liquid is injected into the mold under atmospheric pressure, then foamed and cured inside the mold, demolded, and obtained as a flexible polyurethane foam. The mold temperature is preferably 40 to 80°C, more preferably 50 to 70°C.

[0083] The polyurethane foam according to one aspect of the present invention is not subject to any special limitations on its use. Due to the characteristics of the polyurethane foam made from the reaction products of the composition according to one aspect of the present invention, it can be used in applications where soft polyurethane foam is typically applied, such as seats and pillows for automobiles and vehicles, furniture and interiors, bedding, shoe soles, sponges, various cushions, tennis balls, landing mats, etc. Furthermore, the polyurethane foam made from the reaction products of the composition of the present invention can be used in applications where rigid polyurethane foam is typically applied, such as heat insulation and cooling materials, vibration damping and sound absorbing materials, cushioning materials, and buoyancy materials. For example, it can be used for marine applications such as insulation for fishing boats, large vessels, refrigerated cargo ships, LNG carriers, LPG carriers, liquefied gas carriers, and containers, as well as core materials for FRP boats and buoyancy materials for large vessels, lifeboats, buoys, and floats; for automotive applications such as insulation for refrigerated trucks, insulated trucks, railway containers, tank trucks, and roof insulation for vehicles and trucks; for plant applications such as insulation for chemical industry equipment tanks and piping, heat insulation for heavy oil tanks and piping, insulation for LPG and LNG low-temperature liquefied gas refrigeration and piping, insulation covers, and tank lids; for refrigerators and freezers, insulation components for air conditioners, and insulation for various insulated equipment such as showcases, storage units, vending machines, water heaters, and hot water storage tanks; and furthermore, for residential use. Applications include insulation for residential and office buildings (walls, underfloors, ceilings, under roofs, etc.), insulating building materials (laminated boards, composite panels, siding materials, etc.), insulation for bathtubs (stainless steel, FRP, enamel), insulation for cold storage warehouses, agricultural warehouses, livestock barns, etc., void filling (insulated sashes), insulation for constant temperature rooms and district heating and cooling systems, civil engineering applications such as road floor insulation and vibration damping materials, and other applications such as chair cores, door panels, decorative crafts, recreational equipment (cooler boxes, water bottles), educational materials (3D maps, etc.), molds and jigs, surfboard cores, RIM method products (ski cores, racket cores, housings, etc.), and packaging materials.
