Abstract
Abstract A high-strength polymer-modified polyol comprises a polyol and from 40 to 80% by weight of the reaction product of a polyisocyanate and a tertiary-N-polyolamine based on the combined weight of the polyol and reaction product. Also included are methods of forming the polymer-modified polyol; a polymer-modified polyol obtained by dilution of the high strength polymer-modified polyol; the use of the polymer-modified polyols in the manufacture of polyurethane products and the polyurethane products so obtained. The polymer-modified polyols are particularly useful for preparing highly resilient flexible foams.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
90 words
A polymer-modified polyol obtained by reacting a polyisocyanate with a tertiary-N-polyolamine in the presence of a first polyol in amounts such that the weight of the reaction product of the polyisocyanate and polyolamine is from 40 to 80% of the combined weight of the reaction product and first polyol and subsequently diluting the reaction product with a second polyol, which is the same as or different to the first polyol, to less than 40% by weight of the reaction product on the combined weight of the reaction product and polyols.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
90 words
A polymer-modified polyol obtained by reacting a polyisocyanate with a tertiary-N-polyolamine in the presence of a first polyol in amounts such that the weight of the reaction product of the polyisocyanate and polyolamine is from 40 to 80% of the combined weight of the reaction product and first polyol and subsequently diluting the reaction product with a second polyol, which is the same as or different to the first polyol, to less than 40% by weight of the reaction product on the combined weight of the reaction product and polyols.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
25 words
A polymer-modified polyol according to claim 1 in which the first polyol is a polyoxyalkylene polyol having a molecular weight of from 1,000 to 10,000.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
26 words
A polymer-modified polyol according to claim 1 in which the tertiary-N-polyolamine is a trialkanolamine in which the alkyl moieties contain from 1 to 4 carbon atoms.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
35 words
A polymer-modified polyol according to claim 1 in which the reaction product is subsequently diluted to 1 to 15% by weight of the reaction product on the combined weight of the reaction product and polyols.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
69 words
In a method of making a polyurethane product in which a polyisocyanate is reacted with a polyol, the improvement which comprises using as the polyol component a polymer-modified polyol obtained by dilution of the polymer-modified polyol as claimed in claim 1 with the same or a different polyol so that the reaction product is less than 40% by weight of the combined weight of the reaction product and polyol.
