Abstract
Abstract Polyisocyanurate foams having excellent heat resistance and flame resistance are produced by using no common organic silicone surfactant or using less than 0.2% by weight based on an organic polyisocyanate, of said organic silicone surfactant, when producing a polyisocyanurate foam by reacting an organic polyisocyanate, a blowing agent and a catalyst for trimerizing isocyanate and if necessary a surfactant, a modifier and the other additives.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
83 words
In a method for producing a polyisocyanurate foam by reacting an organic polyisocyanate together with a blowing agent and a catalyst for trimerizing isocyanate, the improvement which comprises using no organosilicone surfactant or adding an organosilicone surfactant in a ratio of less than 0.2% by weight based on the organic isocyanate to form a polyisocyanurate foam having excellent heat resistance and flame resistance, wherein said organosilicone surfactant is selected from the group consisting of organosiloxanepolyoxyalkylene copolymers and polyalkenylsiloxanes having a polyoxyalkylene side chain.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
83 words
In a method for producing a polyisocyanurate foam by reacting an organic polyisocyanate together with a blowing agent and a catalyst for trimerizing isocyanate, the improvement which comprises using no organosilicone surfactant or adding an organosilicone surfactant in a ratio of less than 0.2% by weight based on the organic isocyanate to form a polyisocyanurate foam having excellent heat resistance and flame resistance, wherein said organosilicone surfactant is selected from the group consisting of organosiloxanepolyoxyalkylene copolymers and polyalkenylsiloxanes having a polyoxyalkylene side chain.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
15 words
The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the organic polyisocyanate is an aromatic polyisocyanate.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
32 words
The method as claimed in claim 2, wherein the organic polyisocyanate is mixture of polymethylene polyphenylisocyanates having the following formula ##STR3## wherein n is 0 or an integer of 1 or more.
