Abstract
Description
POLYOL COMPONENT AND ITS USE IN PRODUCING RIGID POLYURETHANE FOAMS Description The invention relates to a polyol component P), a method for producing rigid polyurethane foams using the polyol component P), and rigid polyurethane foams produced with the polyol component P). Rigid polyurethane (PU) foams can be produced in a known manner by reacting organic polyisocyanates with one or more compounds having at least two isocyanate-reactive groups, preferably polyether, polyester and / or polyether ester alcohols (polyols), in the presence of blowing agents, catalysts and optionally auxiliaries and / or adjuvants. Rigid PU foams are frequently used in the production of refrigeration equipment. In this case, the refrigeration unit casings are typically filled with the polyisocyanate mixture, and the rigid PU foam forms in situ between the two layers that constitute the inner and outer linings of the refrigeration unit. To ensure the stability of the resulting composite structure, the rigid PU foams must exhibit good adhesion to the inner and outer lining materials (e.g., metal, high-impact polystyrene, etc.). Important for high performance during the foaming stage, and therefore for high productivity in refrigerator production, good demolding behavior is a fundamental property of the rigid PU foams used.This behavior is evident, for example, from the minimal subsequent expansion of the freshly cured rigid PU foam. Furthermore, the rigid PU foam is required to exhibit good thermal insulation. There is a need for rigid PU foams whose properties in this combination are further improved compared to those known in the prior art. WO 2018 / 177941 A1 describes a polyol component for producing rigid PU foams, comprising a polyether polyol having a functionality of 5.7 to 6.4 and a hydroxyl number of 300 to 500 mg KOH / g, a polyether polyol having a functionality of 3.0 to 5.0 and a hydroxyl number of 300 to 500 mg KOH / g, and a polyether polyol having a functionality of 2.8 to 5.0 and a hydroxyl number of 100 to 290 mg KOH / g. It is an object of the present invention to provide a polyol component that, in relation to known polyol components in the prior art, leads to further improvements in rigid PU foams produced therefrom. The objective was to combine improved demolding times with good adhesion and thermal insulation properties of rigid PU foams prepared according to the present invention. This object is achieved by means of a polyol component P) comprising: a) one or more polyether polyols A) having a number of OH in the range of 300 to 520 mg of ci ci ι η / ι ζηζ / E / γ KOH / g, selected from reaction products of monosaccharides, oligosaccharides, polysaccharides, polyhydric alcohols, alkoxylation products of the aforementioned compounds or mixtures thereof with alkylene oxides; b) one or more polyether polyols B) with a number of OH in the range of 320 to 500 mg KOH / g, selected from reaction products of aromatic diamines with alkylene oxides; c) one or more polyether polyols C) having a number of OH in the range of 15 to 60 mg KOH / g, selected from reaction products of monosaccharides, oligosaccharides, polysaccharides, polyhydric alcohols, water or mixtures thereof with alkylene oxides; d) optionally one or more polyols D) that are different from polyether polyols A), B) and C); e) optionally one or more catalysts E); f) optionally one or more additional components F) selected from auxiliaries and adjuvants; and g) optionally one or more blowing agents G) selected from chemical blowing agents G1) and physical blowing agents G2). The object is also achieved through a method for producing rigid polyurethane foams by means of the reaction of I) diisocyanates or polyisocyanates Pl) or mixtures of these with II) a polyol component P). The object is also achieved by means of a rigid polyurethane foam that can be obtained by the method of the invention and also by using the polyol component P) of the invention to produce rigid polyurethane foams. The object is also achieved by using polyurethane foam produced by the method of the invention for insulation and cooling applications. Surprisingly, the presence of polyether polyol C) in the polyol component P) of the invention results in a significant improvement in the adhesion properties of the rigid PU foams produced with it, accompanied by good to improved demolding times and good to improved thermal insulation. Polyether polyols along the lines of polyether polyol C) could be conveniently obtained as recycled products from flexible foam applications, such as, for example, from used mattresses. The invention is described in more detail below. The number of OH groups (hydroxyl number) can be determined using common methods. For example, the number of OH groups can be determined according to DIN 53240 (1971-12). In the context of the present invention, the functionality of a polyol, especially that of polyether polyols A), B), C), and D), for use according to the invention, indicates the number of hydrogen atoms per mole of initiator compound or per mole of mixture of initiator compounds that are reactive with alkylene oxide before the alkylene oxide is fed. This feeding of the alkylene oxide marks the beginning of the addition of the Cl Cl I n / l 7P7 / B / Y alkylene oxide component to the initiating compounds. The calculation takes into account all the hydrogen atoms reactive with alkylene oxide that are present in the initiating mixture and that are the atoms of the initiating compounds. Functionality F within the meaning of the present invention is calculated using the following Formula (I): Cl Cl I n / l 7Π7 / Β / Υ = mole of initiator i fí = functionality of initiator im = amount of initiators in the initiator mixture F = functionality The functionality F of a polyol prepared from a mixture of two starter compounds (m = 2) is calculated as follows: F = (mol of initiator compound A * functionality of initiator compound A + mol of initiator compound B * functionality of initiator compound B) / (mol of initiator A + mol of initiator B). In the case of additional starter molecules, the formula is supplemented accordingly. Thus, for example, a polyether polyol has a functionality of 5.12 if 626.48 mol of glycerol (functionality 3), 559.74 mol of sucrose (functionality 8), and 67.31 mol of dimethylethanolamine (functionality 1) are used. The functionality F determined by the formula presented above is also called equivalent functionality and is known to the person of the middle level of the trade as an easily accessible method for determining the functionality of polyols; see M. Ionescu Chemistry and Technology of Polyols for Polyurethanes, 2005 Rapra Technology Limited, pages 34 to 39. The functionality defined above according to the invention for polyether polyols A), B), C), and D) may differ from the functionality after the start of the addition of at least one alkylene oxide, i.e., during the reaction of the at least one alkylene oxide with an initiator compound, or from the reaction product, due to the formation during the reaction of byproducts such as glycols and unsaturated monofunctional constituents. Such side reactions are known in the literature. The functionality of polyether polyols A), B), C), and D) may therefore also be referred to as the functionality of the initiator or initiator mixture used to prepare the polyol in question. According to the definition of functionality given above, for example, a polyether polyol having a functionality in the range of 4.6 to 6.5, selected from reaction products of monosaccharides, oligosaccharides, polysaccharides, polyhydric alcohols, alkoxylation products of the aforementioned compounds, or mixtures thereof with alkylene oxides, means that the monosaccharides, oligosaccharides, polysaccharides, polyhydric alcohols, alkoxylation products of the aforementioned compounds, or mixtures thereof used for reaction with the alkylene oxides have an equivalent functionality of 4.6 to 6.5 according to Formula (I). A polyether polyol according to the present invention is an organic compound having at least ether groups and OH groups as functional groups. The polyether polyol typically has from 2 to 20 OH groups, preferably from 2 to 10 OH groups, and more preferably from 2 to 8 OH groups. Within the scope of the present invention, the limits of the specified ranges are preferably included. Therefore, for example, the range from 5.2 to 6.4 includes the values 5.2 and 6.4. The respective polyether polyols A), B), C) and polyol D) are different from each other according to the present invention. Polyether polyols A), B), C), and D) are selected from reaction products of various initiators with alkylene oxides. Suitable alkylene oxides are selected, for example, from C2-C4 alkylene oxides. These include ethylene oxide, propylene oxide, 1,2- and 2,3-butylene oxide, and mixtures thereof. Propylene oxide, ethylene oxide, and mixtures thereof are particularly preferred. The alkylene oxides can be used individually, alternately in succession, and / or as mixtures. Polyether polyol A) The polyol component P) comprises one or more polyether polyols A) having a number of OH in the range of 300 to 520 mg KOH / g, preferably in the range of 390 to 520 mg KOH / g. Polyether polyols (A) are selected from reaction products of monosaccharides, oligosaccharides, polysaccharides, polyhydric alcohols, alkoxylation products of the aforementioned compounds, or mixtures thereof with alkylene oxides. The monosaccharides, oligosaccharides, polysaccharides, polyhydric alcohols, and alkoxylation products of the aforementioned compounds used according to the invention comprise at least two OH groups reactive with alkylene oxide and, in the context of the present invention, are also referred to as initiator compound (SA) or initiator (SA). The term initiator compound encompasses the concepts of initiator compound and initiating compounds. In the reaction with alkylene oxides, the alkylene oxides are added to the initiator compounds, generally with the use of a catalyst. This reaction is known per se to a person of intermediate skill. The polyhydric alcohols used as starter compounds (SA) for polyether polyols (A) are preferably organic compounds having 2 to 20 OH groups, with a higher preference for 2 to 10 OH groups and a very particular preference for 3 to 8 OH groups. They are preferably selected from monomers, dimers, and trimers. The molecular weight is preferably up to 400 g / mol, with a higher preference for up to 300 g / mol and a very particular preference for up to 200 g / mol. Examples of polyhydric alcohols used as starter compounds are sugar alcohols such as sorbitol and mannitol, the monomeric polyhydric alcohols ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, glycerol, trimethylolpropane and pentaerythritol, the dimeric polyhydric alcohols diethylene glycol and dipropylene glycol, and also the trimeric polyhydric alcohol triethylene glycol. Examples of monosaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides used according to the Cl Cl I n / l 7Π7 / Β / Y invention are glucose and sucrose. As starter compounds (SA), alkoxylation products of the monosaccharides, oligosaccharides, polysaccharides, polyhydric alcohols mentioned, or mixtures thereof, may also be used. The expression "mixtures thereof" in this context indicates mixtures of at least two different starter compounds selected from the indicated monosaccharides, oligosaccharides, polysaccharides, and polyhydric alcohols. Examples of such mixtures are mixtures of two different polyhydric alcohols such as glycerol and sorbitol, mixtures of a polyhydric alcohol and a monosaccharide such as glycerol and sucrose, and mixtures of glycerol, ethylene glycol, and sucrose. Monosaccharides, oligosaccharides, polysaccharides, polyhydric alcohols, or mixtures thereof are reacted as described above with alkylene oxides to obtain alkoxylation products, wherein the alkoxylation products are typically prepared with C2-C4 alkylene oxides, preferably ethylene oxide and / or propylene oxide. In this case, the alkoxylation products are further reacted as SA initiator compounds in the preparation of polyether polyols (A) with alkylene oxides. The use of alkoxylation products as SA initiator compounds is particularly advantageous if additional SA initiator compounds are used that are initially present in solid form or have high viscosity, as described below. Preference is given to the use of sorbitol, mannitol, glycerol, trimethylolpropane, pentaerythritol, sucrose, and mixtures thereof as starter compounds (SA), and also mixtures of one or more compounds selected from sorbitol, mannitol, glycerol, trimethylolpropane, pentaerythritol, and sucrose and one or more additional polyhydric alcohols selected from ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, diethylene glycol, dipropylene glycol, and triethylene glycol. Within the meaning of the present invention, dipropylene glycol comprises 2,2'-oxydi-1-propanol, 1,1'-oxydi-2-propanol, and 2-(2-hydroxypropoxy)-1-propanol. The starter compounds for polyether polyols A) are preferably selected so that the functionality of component SA) is from 4.6 to 6.5, with greater preference from 4.8 to 6.5, with very particular preference from 5.2 to 6.5 and with special preference from 5.7 to 6.5. Mixtures of sucrose and at least one compound selected from glycerol, diethylene glycol, and dipropylene glycol are particularly preferred for use as SA initiator compounds. A mixture of sucrose and glycerol is especially preferred. Polyether polyols A) are preferably selected from the reaction products of 60% by weight of at least one initiator compound SA> and 90% by weight of at least one alkylene oxide, depending on the total weight of the polyether polyol A) plus any catalyst used. The fraction of the initiator compounds SA) in the polyether polyols A) used according to the invention is preferably 20 to 45% by weight, more preferably 25 to 42% by weight, with a very particular preference of 30 to 40% by weight, with a special preference of 33% to 38% by weight, depending on the weight of the polyether polyol A). With particular preference, polyether polyols A) are selected from the reaction products Cl OI I n / l 7P7 / B / Y of ai) 5 to 55% by weight of at least one starter compound SA) selected from glucose, mannitol, sucrose, pentaerythritol, trimethylolpropane and sorbitol, aii) 5 to 55% by weight of at least one starter compound SA) other than ai), preferably selected from glycerol, monopropylene glycol, diethylene glycol, triethylene glycol, dipropylene glycol, alkoxylation products of the aforementioned compounds and alkoxylation products of glucose, mannitol, sucrose, pentaerythritol, trimethylolpropane and / or sorbitol or mixtures thereof, aiii) 40 to 90% by weight of at least one alkylene oxide, preferably selected from propylene oxide and ethylene oxide, wherein the sum of ai), aii) and / or aiii) is 100% in weight, plus any catalyst used such as imidazole. The catalyst is used optionally in addition to components ai), aii), aiii). The catalysts used for the reaction of initiating compounds (SA) with alkylene oxides are generally basic compounds. In industrial methods, the compounds in question are usually alkali metal hydroxides, such as sodium, cesium, or, in particular, potassium hydroxide, for example. Alkali metal alkoxides, such as sodium methoxide, sodium or potassium ethoxide, or potassium isopropoxide, for example, are also known catalysts. The preparation can also take place with amine catalysis. The amine catalysts are preferably selected from the group containing trialkylamines such as, for example, trimethylamine, triethylamine, tripropylamine, and tributylamine; dimethylalkylamines such as, for example, dimethylethanolamine, dimethylcyclohexylamine, dimethylethylamine, and dimethylbutylamine; aromatic amines such as, for example, dimethylaniline, dimethylaminopyridine, dimethylbenzylamine, and pyridine; imidazoles such as, for example, imidazole, 4(5)-methylimidazole, 3-methylimidazole, and 1-hydroxypropylimidazole; and guanidines and amidines such as, for example, 1,5-diazabicyclo[4.3.0]non-5-ene and 1,5-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene. Preferably, the catalyst is dimethylethanolamine. With particular preference, the catalyst is an imidazole. The alkylene oxide addition reaction is preferably carried out at a temperature between 90 and 150°C and a pressure between 0.1 and 8 bar. The feeding of the alkylene oxides is generally followed by a post-reaction stage in which the alkylene oxide is consumed by the reaction. This may be followed, if necessary, by a further post-reaction stage. Distillation normally follows to remove volatile components, preferably under reduced pressure. Particularly when solid initiator compounds, such as sucrose, are used to prepare the polyether polyol A) of the invention, the feed rates at the start of the operation are necessarily slow, since the alkylene oxide dissolves poorly in the reaction mixture, leading to slow reaction rates. Furthermore, the high viscosity developed in the initiator mixture when solid initiator compounds are used means that heat removal is relatively inefficient. This can result in localized instances of overheating, which is detrimental to product quality. Additionally, the high viscosity accelerates pump wear. Cl Cl I n / l 7P7 / B / Y and heat exchangers. Adding at least one additional polyol to the starter mixture reduces adverse effects. For example, this is described in EP 2542612. Therefore, in some of the experiments described, the starter mixtures were blended with polyetherols to reduce the viscosity of the starter mixture and to allow for improved operating conditions. In the preparation of polyetherols (A), it is preferred, to decrease viscosity, to add alkoxylation products of monosaccharides, oligosaccharides, polysaccharides, polyhydric alcohols, or mixtures thereof. Particularly preferred are a propoxide prepared from sucrose / glycerol having a molar mass of 488 g / mol, an OH number of 490 mg KOH / g, and a functionality of 4.3, and also a propoxide prepared from sucrose / glycerol having a molar mass of 639 g / mol and a functionality of 5.1. The main purpose of using the alkoxylation products as an additional starting compound (SA) is to simplify the operating procedure. When calculating the functionality of the polyether polyol A) of the invention, the alkoxylation products mentioned above are therefore considered. Polyether polyols A) preferentially have functionalities in the range of 4.6 to 6.5, with a greater preference for 4.8 to 6.5, a very particular preference for 5.2 to 6.5, and a special preference for 5.7 to 6.5. The use of polyether polyols A) with relatively high functionalities improves demolding during the production of rigid PU foams. In another preferred embodiment, the polyether polyol A) has a functionality in the range of 4.8 to 6.5 and an OH number in the range of 300 to 520 mg KOH / g, more particularly a functionality in the range of 5.2 to 6.5 and an OH number in the range of 390 to 520 mg KOH / g. In general terms, the fraction of polyether polyols A) is 35 to 70% by weight, preferably 37 to 55% by weight, with greater preference 40 to 60% by weight, depending on the total amount of components A) to G1) of the polyol component P). Polyether polyols B) The polyol component P) comprises one or more polyether polyols B) having a number of OH in the range of 320 to 500 mg KOH / g, preferably in the range of 380 to 450 mg KOH / g.

Polyether polyols (B) are selected from the reaction products of aromatic diamines with alkylene oxides. Aromatic diamines are also referred to as initiator compounds (SB).

The expressions that comprise and include also preferably encompass the expressions that consist, that consist of or consists of. The invention is clarified in more detail by the examples below, without any limitation on the invention. Examples I. Measurement methods: Measurement of the hydroxyl number: Hydroxyl numbers are determined in accordance with DIN 53240 (1971-12). Determination of viscosity: The viscosity of polyols is determined, unless otherwise stated, at 25°C in accordance with DIN EN ISO 3219 (1994), using a Haake Viscotester 550 or a Brookfield CAP2000 with plate / cone measuring geometry (PK100) using the PK 1 1° cone (diameter: 28 mm; cone angle: 1°) at a shear rate of 40 l / s. Determination of demolding behavior: The demolding behavior is determined by measuring the post-expansion of the foam bodies produced using a 700 × 400 × 90 mm box mold at a mold temperature of 45 ± 2°C, according to the demolding time and the degree of overpacking (OP, corresponding to the ratio of total bulk density to minimum filling density, which describes the percentage of extra starter material actually needed to fill the mold with a rigid PU foam. The experimental examples described herein were performed with an OP of 17.5%). Post-expansion is determined by measuring the height of the foam cuboids after 24 h. Start time: The time from the start of mixing the reaction mixture until the start of foam expansion. Setting time (gel time / fiber time) The time from the start of mixing the reaction mixture until the moment at which Cl Cl I n / l 7P7 / B / Y The fibers can be extracted in contact with the foam (with a wooden rod, for example). Therefore, this point represents the transition from the liquid state to the solid state. Minimum fill density for a component part / free rise density: The minimum fill density is determined by introducing a quantity of the polyurethane reaction mixture into a mold measuring 2000 × 200 × 50 mm at a mold temperature of 45 ± 2°C, ensuring the mold is filled only with foam without contact with the mold's edge. The flow path length is measured, and the minimum fill density is calculated according to MFD = (m*L / (V*s)), where m = mass, L = mold length, s = flow path, and V = mold volume. The free rise density is determined by foaming the polyurethane reaction mixture in a plastic bag at room temperature. The density is measured using a cube taken from the center of the foam-filled plastic bag. Determination of flowability: Flowability is reported in terms of flow factor = (minimum filling density / free rise density). Accession: A test specimen is taken from the sample body. This test specimen corresponds to the first 50 cm, measured from the gating channel, of the lance mold, with an overpacking degree of 14.5%. Using a template, the aluminum foil on the top surface is cut to a width of 56 mm and a length of 200 mm, and a tab approximately 50 mm long is lifted from the foam. This tab is attached to the sample holder of the universal testing machine. When the test time has elapsed, the measurement begins. The force required to peel the aluminum foil from the foam is reported in newtons (N). Adhesion values intended for comparison with other foam formulations must be measured under identical foaming and testing conditions. To evaluate the adhesion limit of the cover film to the foam, the mold temperature is reduced in 5°C increments, the samples are foamed, and the adhesion is measured on these samples.The adhesion limit is reached when the covering layer detaches from the foam and when the sample is demolded. Thermal conductivity: Thermal conductivity was determined using a Taurus TCA300 DTX instrument at a midpoint temperature of 10°C. To produce the test samples, the polyurethane reaction mixture was placed in a mold measuring 2000 × 200 × 50 mm (15% overpacking) and demolded after 5 minutes. After storage under standard conditions for 24 hours, several foam cuboids measuring 200 × 200 × 50 mm were cut from the center (at positions 10, 900, and 1700 mm, depending on the lance start). The top and bottom sides were then removed to obtain test samples measuring 200 × 200 × 30 mm. II.
