Claim 1
Independent Claim
59 words
A process for the preparation of a polyether-ester polyol comprising (a) reacting an alkaline catalyst, selected from the group consisting of hydroxides and alkoxides of sodium, potassium, lithium, rubidium and cesium, containing polyoxyalkylene polyether polyol with tetrahydrophthalic anhydride to form a half acid ester, (b) reacting the product of (a) with an alkylene oxide and (c) removing the catalyst.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
59 words
A process for the preparation of a polyether-ester polyol comprising (a) reacting an alkaline catalyst, selected from the group consisting of hydroxides and alkoxides of sodium, potassium, lithium, rubidium and cesium, containing polyoxyalkylene polyether polyol with tetrahydrophthalic anhydride to form a half acid ester, (b) reacting the product of (a) with an alkylene oxide and (c) removing the catalyst.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
25 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the concentration of the catalyst employed is from 0.17 to 0.5 weight percent based on the weight of polyol.
