Abstract
Abstract A process of producing a porous polyurethane resin filter material. A first solution containing an NCO-adduct dissolved in a highly polar organic solvent is admixed into a second solution containing a highly polar organic solvent and at least one hydrazine hydrate, carbodihydrazide, piperazine and 1,4-diaminopiperazine. The first solution is admixed into the second solution over an extended period of time during which time the viscosity of the admixture is monitored and during which time the NCO pre-adduct and the hydrazine (or the like) react to form a polyurethane reaction product. During this time, the viscosity of the admixture increases. Admixture is continued with monitoring of the viscosity of the admixture until a point is reached at which the addition of even the minutest amount of the first solution into the admixture would result in instantaneous gelling thereof. At this point, the solids content of the final admixture is between 15 and 35% by weight. The final admixture, which is castable for at least 24 hours, is coated on a textile reinforcing material and the coated material is introduced into a coagulating bath of water with no additives to form a polyurethane sheet structure which is dried to form the porous polyurethane resin filter material in accordance with the invention.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
254 words
A process of producing a porous polyurethane resin filter material comprising: (a) providing a first solution containing 60 to 80% by weight of an NCO-adduct having 1.5 to 5% free isocyanate groups dissolved in a highly polar organic solvent; (b) providing a second solution containing a highly polar organic solvent and at least one member selected from the group consisting of hydrazine hydrate, carbodihydrazide, piperazine and 1,4-diaminopiperazine and in which solution said member is present in an amount of from 0.02 to 0.05 mole percent; (c) admixing said first solution into said second solution over an extended period of time during which the NCO pre-adduct and said member of said second solution react to form a highly viscous reaction product and continuing the admixing of said first solution into said second solutions and monitoring the viscosity measured under reaction conditions until the viscosity of the admixture is such that the addition of even the minutest amount of said first solution would have resulted in instantaneous gelling of the admixture, and at which point the addition of said first solution is stopped immediately, the final admixture thus produced having a solids content of between 15 and 35% by weight and remaining castable for at least 24 hours; (d) coating the final admixture on a textile reinforcing material; (e) introducing the textile material having the coating of said final admixture into a coagulating bath of water to form a polyurethane sheet structure; and (f) drying said sheet structure to form said porous polyurethane resin filter material.

A process of producing a porous polyurethane resin filter material comprising: (a) providing a first solution containing 60 to 80% by weight of an NCO-adduct having 1.5 to 5% free isocyanate groups dissolved in a highly polar organic solvent; (b) providing a second solution containing a highly polar organic solvent and at least one member selected from the group consisting of hydrazine hydrate, carbodihydrazide, piperazine and 1,4-diaminopiperazine and in which solution said member is present in an amount of from 0.02 to 0.05 mole percent; (c) admixing said first solution into said second solution over an extended period of time during which the NCO pre-adduct and said member of said second solution react to form a highly viscous reaction product and continuing the admixing of said first solution into said second solutions and monitoring the viscosity measured under reaction conditions until the viscosity of the admixture is such that the addition of even the minutest amount of said first solution would have resulted in instantaneous gelling of the admixture, and at which point the addition of said first solution is stopped immediately, the final admixture thus produced having a solids content of between 15 and 35% by weight and remaining castable for at least 24 hours; (d) coating the final admixture on a textile reinforcing material; (e) introducing the textile material having the coating of said final admixture into a coagulating bath of water to form a polyurethane sheet structure; and (f) drying said sheet structure to form said porous polyurethane resin filter material.
