Abstract

Abstract Foams characterized by isocyanurate and urethane linkages are prepared by condensing: (a) an organic polyisocyanate with a polyol or (b) a quasi-prepolymer in the presence of a blowing agent and a catalytically effective amount of an alkali metal salt of an organic sulfinic acid. The catalysts of the invention offer the advantages of longer cream times and fully cured foams in acceptable times thus finding particular utility in pour-in-place and slab stock foaming applications.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim 54 words
In a process for the preparation of a pour-in-place urethane-modified isocyanurate foam by the reaction of an organic polyisocyanate with a primary hydroxyterminated polyol in the presence of a blowing agent and a trimerization catalyst the improvement which comprises employing as catalyst for the reaction an alkali metal salt of toluene- or benzenesulfinic acid.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 54 words
In a process for the preparation of a pour-in-place urethane-modified isocyanurate foam by the reaction of an organic polyisocyanate with a primary hydroxyterminated polyol in the presence of a blowing agent and a trimerization catalyst the improvement which comprises employing as catalyst for the reaction an alkali metal salt of toluene- or benzenesulfinic acid.
