Methods of forming isocyanate polymers

Claim 1

A method of forming an isocyanate polymer using a mixture having a long gelation time greater than at least 9 minutes in the presence of at least 0.2 parts free water per 100 parts by weight of mixture comprising combining a hydroxylated organic polymer and an organic di- or polyisocyanate compound with a catalyst selected from the group consisting of triethylenediamine and Groups 3 and 4 metal-organic compounds, said hydroxylated organic polymer being present in said mixture in an amount of about 82 parts per 100 parts by weight of said mixture, said di- or polyisocyanate compound being present in said mixture in an amount in the range of from about 1 to about 16 parts per 100 parts by weight of said mixture and said catalyst being present in said mixture in an amount of about 1 part per 100 parts by weight of said mixture.

Claim 2

A method of forming an isocyanate polymer using a mixture having a long gelation time greater than at least 9 minutes in the presence of at least 0.2 parts free water per 100 parts by weight of mixture comprising combining a hydroxylated organic polymer and an organic di- or polyisocyanate compound with a catalyst selected from the group consisting of triethylenediamine and Groups 3 and 4 metal-organic compounds, said hydroxylated organic polymer being present in said mixture in an amount of about 82 parts per 100 parts by weight of said mixture, said di- or polyisocyanate compound being present in said mixture in an amount in the range of from about 1 to about 16 parts per 100 parts by weight of said mixture and said catalyst being present in said mixture in an amount of about 1 part per 100 parts by weight of said mixture.

Claim 9

A method of forming an isocyanate polymer using a mixture having a long gelation time greater than at least 9 minutes in the presence of at least 0.2 parts free water per 100 parts by weight mixture comprising: combining a hydroxylated organic polymer and an organic di- or polyisocyanate compound with a liquid solvent; and combining a catalyst selected from the group consisting of triethyleneamine and Groups 3 and 4 metal-organic compounds with said solution wherein said hydroxylated organic polymer is present in said mixture in an amount of about 45 parts per 100 parts by weight of said mixture, said di- or polyisocyanate compound is present in said mixture in an amount in the range of from about 1 to about 10 parts by 100 parts by weight of said mixture, said solvent is present in said mixture in an amount of about 45 parts per 100 parts by weight of said mixture and said catalyst is present in said mixture in an amount of about 1 part per 100 parts by weight of said mixture.

Claim 10

A method of forming an isocyanate polymer using a mixture having a long gelation time greater than at least 9 minutes in the presence of at least 0.2 parts free water per 100 parts by weight mixture comprising: combining a hydroxylated organic polymer and an organic di- or polyisocyanate compound with a liquid solvent; and combining a catalyst selected from the group consisting of triethyleneamine and Groups 3 and 4 metal-organic compounds with said solution wherein said hydroxylated organic polymer is present in said mixture in an amount of about 45 parts per 100 parts by weight of said mixture, said di- or polyisocyanate compound is present in said mixture in an amount in the range of from about 1 to about 10 parts by 100 parts by weight of said mixture, said solvent is present in said mixture in an amount of about 45 parts per 100 parts by weight of said mixture and said catalyst is present in said mixture in an amount of about 1 part per 100 parts by weight of said mixture.
