Abstract
Abstract Polyisocyanurate foam is produced by reacting a polyisocyanate component with an anhydrous reaction product between a dibasic acid anhydride and a partially alcoholated polyether-polyol with an alkali metal hydroxide and/or alkaline earth metal hydroxide. The reaction product acts as a catalyst for trimerizing the polyisocyanate and also as a polyether-polyol component.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
73 words
In a method for producing polyisocyanurate foam comprising reacting a polysiocyanate component with a polyether-polyol component in the presence of a foaming agent and a catalyst for trimerizing said polyisocyanate, the improvement comrising employing the anhydrous reaction product between a dibasic carboxylic acid anhydride and a partially alcoholated polyether-polyol with an alkali metal hydroxide and/or an alkaline earth metal hydroxide as the polyether-polyol component, whereby said component simultaneously acts as a trimerization catalyst.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
