Abstract
Abstract A process is disclosed comprising mixing selected shrinkage-minimizing halocarbons with selected two-carbon hydrogen-containing halocarbons, HCFC-123, HCFC-123a and HCFC-141b, and using this mixture as a blowing agent to produce minimal shrinkage closed-cell polyurethane foams.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
78 words
A process comprising mixing at least 1 wt. percent and less than about 60 wt. percent of a shrinkage-minimizing halocarbon selected from the group consisting of CFC-11, CFC-12, HCFC-22, HFC-32, CFC-113, CFC-114, HCFC-124, HCFC-133a, HFC-134a, HCFC-142b and HFC-152a, and a minimum of about 40 wt. percent of a two-carbon hydrogen-containing halocarbon selected from the group consisting of HCFC-123, HCFC-123a and HCFC-141b, to form a mixture, and, thereafter, using the mixture to produce a minimal shrinkage closed-cell polyurethane foam.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
78 words
A process comprising mixing at least 1 wt. percent and less than about 60 wt. percent of a shrinkage-minimizing halocarbon selected from the group consisting of CFC-11, CFC-12, HCFC-22, HFC-32, CFC-113, CFC-114, HCFC-124, HCFC-133a, HFC-134a, HCFC-142b and HFC-152a, and a minimum of about 40 wt. percent of a two-carbon hydrogen-containing halocarbon selected from the group consisting of HCFC-123, HCFC-123a and HCFC-141b, to form a mixture, and, thereafter, using the mixture to produce a minimal shrinkage closed-cell polyurethane foam.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
49 words
The process of Claim 1 wherein the mixture is first dissolved in a polyol containing a surfactant and catalyst to form a B-side system which is, in turn, reacted with isocyanates to produce said polyurethane foam, said mixture comprising about 2 to 60 wt. percent of the B-side system.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
37 words
The process of Claim 1 wherein the mixture is combined with surfactant and an isocyanate to form one component and, thereafter, the component is reacted with a polyol and a catalyst to produce said closed-cell polyurethane foam.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
31 words
The process of Claim 1 wherein the mixture comprises about 5 to 59 wt. percent of the shrinkage-minimizing halocarbon and about 95 to 41 wt. percent of the two-carbon hydrogen-containing halocarbon.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
31 words
The process of Claim 4 wherein the mixture comprises about 10 to 40 wt. percent of the shrinkage-minimizing halocarbon and about 90 to 60 wt. percent of the two-carbon hydrogen-containing halocarbon.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
20 words
The process of Claim 1 wherein the mixture comprises about 80 wt. percent HCFC-123 and about 20 wt. percent HCFC-11.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
28 words
The process of Claim 1 wherein the shrinkage-minimizing halocarbon comprises about 0.1 to 25 wt. percent, preferably about 0.5 to 15 wt. percent of the polyurethane reaction formulation.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
21 words
The process of Claim 1 wherein the polyurethane foam has a density of about 1.5 to 2.5 pounds per cubic foot.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
21 words
The process of Claim 1 wherein the polyurethane foam has a density of about 1.2 to 1.5 pounds per cubic foot.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
12 words
A polyurethane foam which is formed using the mixture of Claim 1.
