Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
121 words
As an article of manufacture, a filled detergent hydrophilic flexible polyurethane foam, produced by a process which comprises mixing a clay filler and an alkyl aryl sulfonate detergent to form a first mixture, mixing said first mixture with a normally liquid polyether polyol to form a second mixture, and introducing said second mixture, tolylene diisocyanate and water, as a blowing agent, into the mixing chamber of a foam machine whereby a filled detergent polyurethane foam is manufactured, wherein said second mixture contains from 20 to 60 percent by weight of filler, based upon the weight of the polyol, and wherein said second mixture contains from 30 to 80 percent by weight of sulfonate detergent, based upon the weight of the polyol.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
121 words
As an article of manufacture, a filled detergent hydrophilic flexible polyurethane foam, produced by a process which comprises mixing a clay filler and an alkyl aryl sulfonate detergent to form a first mixture, mixing said first mixture with a normally liquid polyether polyol to form a second mixture, and introducing said second mixture, tolylene diisocyanate and water, as a blowing agent, into the mixing chamber of a foam machine whereby a filled detergent polyurethane foam is manufactured, wherein said second mixture contains from 20 to 60 percent by weight of filler, based upon the weight of the polyol, and wherein said second mixture contains from 30 to 80 percent by weight of sulfonate detergent, based upon the weight of the polyol.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
24 words
An article of manufacture according to claim 1, wherein the weight ratio of detergent to filler is within the range from 1 to 3.5.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
34 words
An article of manufacture according to claim 1, wherein said filler is kaolin coated with from about 0.2 to about 2 percent by weight, based upon the weight of the kaolin, of a polyamine.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
14 words
An article of manufacture according to claim 3, wherein said polyamine is ethylene diamine.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
18 words
An article of manufacture according to claim 1, wherein said sulfonate detergent is linear dodecyl benzene sodium sulfonate.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
21 words
An article of manufacture according to claim 1, wherein said tolylene diisocyanate is a 65 percent 2,4-isomer, 35 percent 2,6-isomer mixture.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
42 words
An article of manfacture according to claim 1, wherein from about 2 to about 10 percent by weight, based upon the weight of said polyol, of a diol having from 2 to 8 carbon atoms is also introduced into the mixing chamber.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
14 words
An article of manufacture according to claim 7, wherein the diol is 1,4-cyclohexane dimethanol.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
46 words
An article of manufacture according to claim 1 wherein an organosilicon surfactant and a catalyst are also introduced into the mixing chamber, the amount of said organosilicon surfactant being from about 0.01 to about 1.0 part by weight per 100 parts by weight of said polyol.
