Abstract
Abstract The instant invention relates to a process for producing modified polyisocyanates suitable for the production of hydrophilic foams, wherein an organic polyisocyanate is heat treated with a water-containing, organic sulphonic acid at a specified molar ratio and for a specified time. The invention further relates to the use of such modified polyisocyanates in producing a hydrophilic polyurethane foam.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
96 words
A process for the production of modified polyisocyanates suitable for the production of hydrophilic foams comprising a. heating an organic polyisocyanate with an organic sulphonic acid containing from 0.1 ≠to 5 percent by weight of water at a temperature of from 40° to 90° C, the isocyanate group to sulphonic acid group molar ratio being from 100:0.1 to 100:50, and b. stopping the heating thereof once 50 to 100 percent of the carbon dioxide theoretically expected from the reaction of the entire amount of the water with the isocyanate groups has evolved from the reaction mixture.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
96 words
A process for the production of modified polyisocyanates suitable for the production of hydrophilic foams comprising a. heating an organic polyisocyanate with an organic sulphonic acid containing from 0.1 ≠to 5 percent by weight of water at a temperature of from 40° to 90° C, the isocyanate group to sulphonic acid group molar ratio being from 100:0.1 to 100:50, and b. stopping the heating thereof once 50 to 100 percent of the carbon dioxide theoretically expected from the reaction of the entire amount of the water with the isocyanate groups has evolved from the reaction mixture.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
82 words
The process of claim 1, wherein said organic sulphonic acid is of the general formula R(SO 3 H) n wherein n represents the integer of 1 or 2; and R represents an aromatic hydrocarbon radical containing 6-14 carbon atoms, an aliphatic hydrocarbon radical containing 10-18 carbon atoms, a cycloaliphatic hydrocarbon radical with 6-15 carbon atoms, an araliphatic hydrocarbon radical containing 7-15 carbon atoms or an alkaromatic hydrocarbon radical with 7-24 carbon atoms, and wherein any of said radicals may contain inert substituents.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
23 words
The process of claim 2, wherein the amount of water contained by said sulphonic acid is from 0.2 to 2 percent by weight.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
14 words
The process of claim 2, wherein said molar ratio is from 100:0.5 to 100:10.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
16 words

Claim 7
Dependent Claim
25 words
The process of claim 2, wherein heating is stopped once 90 to 100 percent of the carbon dioxide theoretically expected from the reaction has evolved.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
16 words
The process of claim 1 wherein n is 1 and wherein R is araliphatic or alkaromatic.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
8 words
The product of the process of claim 1.
