Abstract
Abstract Polyetherpolyols useful in preparing rigid polyurethane foam excellent in dimensional stability and inflammability. These polyetherpolyols are obtained by reacting alkylene oxide with compounds containing active hydrogen atoms, part or all of which comprise the reaction product obtained by heating the distillation residue secured as a byproduct in the distillation process of a crude polyisocyanate in the presence of (1) water, alcohols and/or amines and (2) hydroxides or oxides of alkali metals or alkaline earth metals and/or monoalkanolamines.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
117 words
A method for producing a polyetherpolyol consisting essentially of reacting (A) compounds containing active hydrogen atoms, one third by weight to all of which is a reaction product obtained by reacting the distillation residue obtained in the distillation process of a crude organic diisocyanate produced by phosgenation of the corresponding organic diamine with (1) at least a member selected from the group consisting of water, aliphatic alcohols having 1 to 10 carbon atoms and alkanolamines having 1 to 6 carbon atoms and (2) a monoalkanolamine having 2 to 4 carbon atoms at a temperature ranging from 100° to 250° C. with (B) at least a member selected from the group consisting of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
117 words
A method for producing a polyetherpolyol consisting essentially of reacting (A) compounds containing active hydrogen atoms, one third by weight to all of which is a reaction product obtained by reacting the distillation residue obtained in the distillation process of a crude organic diisocyanate produced by phosgenation of the corresponding organic diamine with (1) at least a member selected from the group consisting of water, aliphatic alcohols having 1 to 10 carbon atoms and alkanolamines having 1 to 6 carbon atoms and (2) a monoalkanolamine having 2 to 4 carbon atoms at a temperature ranging from 100° to 250° C. with (B) at least a member selected from the group consisting of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide.
