Abstract
Abstract High molecular weight aromatic polyamines are produced by hydrolyzing a polyisocyanate having an isocyanate content of from 21 to 52.5% and an isocyanate-reactive group-containing compound having a molecular weight of from 400 to 10,000 in the presence of an excess of water. The reactants are used in quantities such that the equivalent ratio of isocyanate to isocyanate-reactive groups is from 0.1 to 5. Further, water is used in an amount such that the equivalent ratio of water to isocyanate groups is greater than 1. Low molecular weight compounds containing isocyanate-reactive groups, solvents, basic catalysts and urethanization catalysts may also be included in the mixture to be hydrolyzed. The hydrolysis is carried out at a temperature of from -20° to 175° C. The product amine is isolated from the reaction mixture by procedures such as phase separation, extraction and distillation. The polyamines thus-produced are particularly useful in the production of polyurethanes.
