Abstract
Abstract The hydrolytic stability of catalyst-containing precursors for both flexible and rigid polyurethane foams wherein the catalyst is a tin compound is considerably increased when the catalyst is a triorganotin compound wherein the hydrocarbon groups bonded to the tin atom are methyl or methoxymethyl.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
136 words
A hydrolytically stable precursor for preparing flexible or rigid cellular polyurethanes, said precursor consisting essentially of 100 parts by weight of a polyalkylene polyol, between 0.5 and 5 parts of water, between 0.05 and 0.5 parts of a foaming catalyst, between 0.05 and 2 parts of a silicone surfactant and between 0.05 and 0.5 parts of a gel catalyst, said gel catalyst being selected from the group consisting of organotin compounds of the formulae R a SnX 4 -- a , R 2 SnO and (R 3 Sn) 2 O wherein R is CH 3 -- or CH 3 OCH 2 --, X is selected from the group consisting of the chlorine, bromine and iodine atoms and radicals of the formula --OOCCH 3 or --OOCCH 2 CH 3 and a is the integer 2 or 3.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
