Abstract

Abstract Novel polyols, useful in, for example, reaction injection molding, high resiliency foams and the preparation of polymer/polyols, characterized by the following formula: ##STR1## wherein A and A', which may be the same or different, are connective atoms--carbon, oxygen or combinations thereof with hydrogen atoms or the like satisfying the valences; B is nitrogen (N) or CR, R being hydrogen, alkyl, aryl or the like; Q is 0, CH 2 O, C 2 H 4 O, C 3 H 6 O, or C 4 H 8 O; D is an oxyalkylene or ##STR2## X and X', which may be the same or different, are OH, NH 2 or H; Z is OH; n and d are integers of 0 to 10 and the sum of n and d does not exceed 10; s is 0 or 1, and m is an integer of at least about 16, with the proviso that when B is N and either n or d is zero, X and X' are other than H, provide processing advantages and are highly compatible with low molecular weight extenders such as ethylene glycol.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim 227 words
A method for producing a polyurethane by reacting a mixture comprising (a) a polyol having the following formula: ##STR12## wherein A and A' are individually connective atoms which may be the same or different and are selected from the group consisting of carbon and oxygen or combinations thereof; R is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl and aryl; Q is a member selected from the group consisting of O, CH 2 O, C 2 H 4 O, C 3 H 6 O and C 4 H 8 O; D is a member selected from the group consisting of --OC a H 2a -- and ##STR13## where a has a value of one to four; X and X', may be the same or different, and are individually members selected from the group consisting of OH, NHR and H, X and X' being selected such that the combination of X and X' and their respective adjacent atomic units A and A' provide a functional group reactive with an isocyanate radical; n and d are individually integers of 0 and 10 and the sum of n and d is at least one and does not exceed 10; s is either 0 or 1, and m is an integer of at least about 16, (b) an organic polyisocyanate and (c) a catalyst for the reaction of (a) and (b).
Claim 2
Independent Claim 227 words
A method for producing a polyurethane by reacting a mixture comprising (a) a polyol having the following formula: ##STR12## wherein A and A' are individually connective atoms which may be the same or different and are selected from the group consisting of carbon and oxygen or combinations thereof; R is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl and aryl; Q is a member selected from the group consisting of O, CH 2 O, C 2 H 4 O, C 3 H 6 O and C 4 H 8 O; D is a member selected from the group consisting of --OC a H 2a -- and ##STR13## where a has a value of one to four; X and X', may be the same or different, and are individually members selected from the group consisting of OH, NHR and H, X and X' being selected such that the combination of X and X' and their respective adjacent atomic units A and A' provide a functional group reactive with an isocyanate radical; n and d are individually integers of 0 and 10 and the sum of n and d is at least one and does not exceed 10; s is either 0 or 1, and m is an integer of at least about 16, (b) an organic polyisocyanate and (c) a catalyst for the reaction of (a) and (b).
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 18 words

Claim 4
Dependent Claim 16 words
A method as claimed in claim 2 wherein said low molecular weight extender is ethylene glycol.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 35 words
A method as claimed in claim 3 wherein said ethylene glycol is present in an amount of from about 10 to about 25 percent, based upon the weight of said polyol and said ethylene glycol.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 13 words
A method as claimed in claim 1 wherein X and X' are OH.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 11 words
A method as claimed in claim 5 wherein D is oxyalkylene.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 12 words
A method as claimed in claim 6 wherein said oxyalkylene is oxypropylene.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 16 words
A method as claimed in claim 7 wherein the sum of n and d is 2.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 15 words
A method as claimed in claim 7 wherein said oxypropylene is capped with ethylene oxide.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 21 words
A method as claimed in claim 7 wherein said polyol has a hydroxyl number of from about 30 to about 75.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim 18 words
A method as claimed in claim 1 wherein said mixture includes a blowing agent and a foam stabilizer.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim 23 words
A method as claimed in claim 11 wherein said blowing agent is water and a foam is prepared by a free rise technique.
