Abstract

Abstract The subject invention relates to polyol compositions comprising the reaction product prepared by reacting from 4 to 9 moles of propylene oxide per mole of toluenediamine by weight at temperatures greater than 140° C. in the presence of at least 0.6 parts of alkali metal hydroxide per 100 parts by weight of toluenediamine, with the proviso that at least 0.8 part by weight of alkali metal hydroxide is used if the toluenediamine is 2,4-toluenediamine, or 2,6-toluenediamine, or mixtures thereof.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 16
Claim 1
Independent Claim 91 words
A process for preparing a polyurethane foam comprising reacting, in the presence of a blowing agent and catalyst, an organic polyisocyanate with a polyol composition comprising the reaction product prepared by reacting from 4 to 9 moles of propylene oxide per mole of toluenediamine at temperatures greater than 140° C. in the presence of at least 0.6 part of alkali metal hydroxide per 100 parts of toluenediamine with the proviso that at least 0.8 part of alkali metal hydroxide is used if the toluenediamine is 2,4-toluenediamine or 2,6-toluenediamine, or mixtures thereof.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 91 words
A process for preparing a polyurethane foam comprising reacting, in the presence of a blowing agent and catalyst, an organic polyisocyanate with a polyol composition comprising the reaction product prepared by reacting from 4 to 9 moles of propylene oxide per mole of toluenediamine at temperatures greater than 140° C. in the presence of at least 0.6 part of alkali metal hydroxide per 100 parts of toluenediamine with the proviso that at least 0.8 part of alkali metal hydroxide is used if the toluenediamine is 2,4-toluenediamine or 2,6-toluenediamine, or mixtures thereof.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 41 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the toluenediamine used to prepare the polyol is a mixture containing about 90 percent by weight of an approximately 1:1 weight ratio of 2,3-toluenediamine and 3,4-toluenediamine and 10 percent by weight of 2,4- and 2,6-toluenediamine.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 19 words
The process of claim 2 wherein potassium hydroxide is used as the alkali metal hydroxide to prepare the polyol.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 18 words
The process of claim 3 wherein temperatures of at least 150° C. are used to prepare the polyol.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 27 words
The process of claim 4 wherein from 0.6 part to 1.0 part of alkali metal hydroxide per 100 parts of toluenediamine is used to prepare the polyol.
