Abstract

Abstract The addition of a small amount of a halogen compound, e.g. chloroethyl phosphate, in a process producing elastomeric polyurethane RIM parts using tertiary amines as the chief catalyst component results in scavenging the residual amines after the part has been cured by annealing. The parts from such a process can be coated with a wide variety of enamels having a high solids content and completely cured to result in a higher degree of adhesive between the coating and the part's surface than those parts from a process without the use of such a halogen.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim 137 words
A method for producing a resin-base coated RIM elastomeric polyurethane product which comprises (a) injecting into a mold cavity a reactive mixture comprising per hundred parts of a polyether polyol in the mixture (i) 10 to 50 parts of a chain extender which is a low molecular weight diol, (ii) 50 to 300 parts polyisocyanate, (iii) 0 to 4 parts volatile fluorocarbon blowing agent, (iv) a catalyst component comprising 0.1 to 1 parts non-reactive tertiary amine and 0 to 0.2 parts organotin catalyst, and (v) a reactive organic halogen compound in an amount providing the equivalent of about 1 to 1.5 molar parts of reactive halogen per mole of available amino nitrogen in the catalyst component, (b) removing the obtained elastomeric polyurethane product from the mold, and (c) applying to the molded product an acid-catalyzed resin-based coating.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 137 words
A method for producing a resin-base coated RIM elastomeric polyurethane product which comprises (a) injecting into a mold cavity a reactive mixture comprising per hundred parts of a polyether polyol in the mixture (i) 10 to 50 parts of a chain extender which is a low molecular weight diol, (ii) 50 to 300 parts polyisocyanate, (iii) 0 to 4 parts volatile fluorocarbon blowing agent, (iv) a catalyst component comprising 0.1 to 1 parts non-reactive tertiary amine and 0 to 0.2 parts organotin catalyst, and (v) a reactive organic halogen compound in an amount providing the equivalent of about 1 to 1.5 molar parts of reactive halogen per mole of available amino nitrogen in the catalyst component, (b) removing the obtained elastomeric polyurethane product from the mold, and (c) applying to the molded product an acid-catalyzed resin-based coating.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 30 words
The method as defined in claim 1 wherein said halogen compound is a chloroethyl phosphate in an amount of up to 3 parts by weight per hundred parts of polyol.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 13 words
The method as defined in claim 2 wherein said halogen compound is tris(chloroethyl)phosphate.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 27 words
The method as defined in claim 1 wherein said tertiary amine catalyst is triethylenediamine in amount constituting in excess of 0.1% by weight of said reaction mixture.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 34 words
The method as defined in claim 4 wherein said halogen compound is tris(chloroethyl)phosphate and is employed in said formulation in an amount constituting by weight two to five times the weight of said triethylenediamine.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 18 words
The methods as defined in claim 1 wherein said chain extender is a low molecular weight alkylene diamine.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 25 words
The method of claim 1 in which the organic halogen compound is a chloroethyl phosphate, a chlorinated high molecular weight paraffin or a chlorinated polyol.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 28 words
The method of claim 7 in which the organic halogen compound is present in an amount of up to 3 parts by weight per hundred parts of polyol.
