Abstract
Abstract Isocyanate condensates containing free NCO groups are separated and purified from crude reaction mixtures thereof which include unreacted excess di- or polyisocyanate monomer and at least one isocyanate antagonist, by extracting such crude reaction mixtures with an inert gas, notably carbon dioxide, in either the liquid or supercritical state; the highly purified isocyanate condensates are well adopted for the production of foams, elastomers, adhesives, paints and varnishes.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim
52 words
A process for the isolation and purification of isocyanate condensates containing free NCO groups from a crude reaction mixture thereof which comprises unreacted excess di- or polyisocyanate monomer and at least one isocyanate antagonist compound, comprising extracting such crude reaction mixture with an inert gas in either the liquid or supercritical state.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
52 words
A process for the isolation and purification of isocyanate condensates containing free NCO groups from a crude reaction mixture thereof which comprises unreacted excess di- or polyisocyanate monomer and at least one isocyanate antagonist compound, comprising extracting such crude reaction mixture with an inert gas in either the liquid or supercritical state.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
45 words
The process as defined by claim 1, said isocyanate condensates having been prepared from a stoichiometric excess of at least one aliphatic, cycloaliphatic and/or arylaliphatic di- or polyisocyanate monomer and at least one antagonist compound containing at least two functional groups reactive with NCO groups.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
30 words
