Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
112 words
A process for producing a rigid or semiflexible polyurethane foam which comprises forming and curing reaction mixture consisting essentially of (a) a polyether polyol, or blend of polyether polyols, having a hydroxyl number of greater than 100 and a functionality of at least 3 and less than 8, (b) the reaction product of: (I) a phenol which has at least one unsubstituted reactive position on the aromatic nucleus, (II) an aldehyde, and (III) an aromatic amine, (c) an aromatic polyisocyanate in an amount which provides from 0.8 to 1.6 isocyanate groups per active hydrogen group in the reaction mixture, (d) a blowing agent, (e) a surfactant, and (f) a flame retardant additive.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
112 words
A process for producing a rigid or semiflexible polyurethane foam which comprises forming and curing reaction mixture consisting essentially of (a) a polyether polyol, or blend of polyether polyols, having a hydroxyl number of greater than 100 and a functionality of at least 3 and less than 8, (b) the reaction product of: (I) a phenol which has at least one unsubstituted reactive position on the aromatic nucleus, (II) an aldehyde, and (III) an aromatic amine, (c) an aromatic polyisocyanate in an amount which provides from 0.8 to 1.6 isocyanate groups per active hydrogen group in the reaction mixture, (d) a blowing agent, (e) a surfactant, and (f) a flame retardant additive.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
13 words
A rigid or semiflexible polyurethane foam produced by the process of claim 1.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
56 words
A process as in claim 1 wherein component (b) of the formulation is the reaction of: (I) phenol, (II) formaldehyde, and (III) aniline, wherein the molar ratio of (I) to (III) ranges from about 6:1 to about 1:6 and wherein the molar ratio of (I) plus (III) to (II) ranges from about 6:1 to about 1.2:1.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
13 words
A rigid or semiflexible polyurethane foam produced by the process of claim 3.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
19 words
A process as in any one of claims 1, or 3 wherein the product is a rigid polyurethane foam.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
11 words
A rigid polyurethane foam produced by the process of claim 5.
