Abstract

Abstract Disclosed is a process for the preparation of ethylenically unsaturated isocyanurates which comprises a first step of trimerizing an aromatic polyisocyanate in the presence of an isocyanate trimerization catalyst and an ethylenically unsaturated solvent wherein at least 20% by weight of the solvent is an ethylenically unsaturated polar solvent, to form an isocyanate-containing isocyanurate and a second step of reacting the isocyanate-containing isocyanurate with a monohydric alcohol containing a vinylidene group to form an ethylenically unsaturated isocyanurate. The resulting solution of an ethylenically unsaturated isocyanurate dissolved in an ethylenically unsaturated solvent may be cured to form resins having excellent high temperature resistant properties.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim 123 words
In a process for preparing an ethylenically unsaturated isocyanurate which comprises (1) a first step of trimerizing an aromatic polyisocyanate to form an NCO-containing isocyanurate, said trimerizing being conducted in the presence of an isocyanate trimerization catalyst and in the presence of a solvent, and (2) a second step of reacting the NCO groups present in the NCO-containing isocyanurate with the hydroxyl group of a monohydric alcohol containing a vinylidene group, in the presence of a solvent to form an ethylenically unsaturated isocyanurate, the improvement comprising using as the solvent in steps (1) and (2) a vinylidene solvent which is free of a group reactive with an isocyanate group and which comprises at least 20 weight percent of an ethylenically unsaturated polar solvent.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 123 words
In a process for preparing an ethylenically unsaturated isocyanurate which comprises (1) a first step of trimerizing an aromatic polyisocyanate to form an NCO-containing isocyanurate, said trimerizing being conducted in the presence of an isocyanate trimerization catalyst and in the presence of a solvent, and (2) a second step of reacting the NCO groups present in the NCO-containing isocyanurate with the hydroxyl group of a monohydric alcohol containing a vinylidene group, in the presence of a solvent to form an ethylenically unsaturated isocyanurate, the improvement comprising using as the solvent in steps (1) and (2) a vinylidene solvent which is free of a group reactive with an isocyanate group and which comprises at least 20 weight percent of an ethylenically unsaturated polar solvent.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 17 words
A process of claim 1 wherein the monohydric alcohol is hydroxypropylmethacrylate, hydroxypropylacrylate, hydroxyethylmethacrylate, hydroxyethylacrylate, or mixtures thereof.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 12 words
A process of claim 2 wherein the aromatic polyisocyanate is tolylene diisocyanate.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 32 words
A process of claim 1 wherein the NCO content at the end of the first step is from about 10% to about 18% by weight, based on the total weight of solution.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 39 words
A process of claim 4 wherein the vinylidene solvent comprises from 25% to 100% by weight of a polar solvent containing a vinylidene group and from 75% to 0% by weight of a non-polar solvent containing a vinylidene group.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 90 words
A process of claim 5 wherein the vinylidene solvent is a blend of from 20% to 40% by weight of a polar solvent selected from the group consisting of ethylmethacrylate, ethylacrylate, 2-ethylhexylacrylate, 2-ethylhexylmethacrylate, butylacrylate, butylmethacrylate, cyclohexylmethacrylate, cyclohexylacrylate, vinyl acetate, tetrahydrofurfuryl methacrylate, diethylene glycol diacrylate, triethylene glycol diacrylate, allyl methacrylate, diallyl fumarate, 1,3-butylene glycol dimethacrylate, propylene glycol diacrylate, and mixtures thereof and from 80 to 60 parts by weight of a non-polar solvent selected from the group consisting of styrene, divinyl benzene, chlorostyrene, acrylonitrile, vinyl toluene, vinyl pyrrolidone, and mixtures thereof.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 17 words

Claim 9
Dependent Claim 18 words
A process of claim 6 wherein the solvent contains from 25% to 35% by weight of polar solvent.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 24 words
