Abstract
Abstract Mannich polyols of low viscosity and reduced reactivity are prepared by condensing a phenolic compound with formaldehyde and a mixture of diethanolamine and at least one other alkanol amine. The condensation product is the alkoxylated to form a polyol which is particularly useful in preparing rigid polyurethane foam. The Mannich polyols of this invention are characterized by having surprisingly lower viscosities and reactivities as compared to Mannich polyols which are prepared using either diethanolamine or the other alkanolamine alone in the condensation reaction.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
73 words
A polyurethane foam which is the reaction product of a reaction mixture comprising a polyisocyanate, a blowing agent and a polyol characterized in that the polyol is prepared by alkoxylating a Mannich condensate of (a) phenol or an inertly-substituted phenol, (b) formaldehyde, and (c) a mixture of (i) diethanolamine and (ii) at least one other alkanolamine, wherein the weight ratio of diethanolamine to the other alkanolamine is from about 1:19 to about 19:1.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
73 words
A polyurethane foam which is the reaction product of a reaction mixture comprising a polyisocyanate, a blowing agent and a polyol characterized in that the polyol is prepared by alkoxylating a Mannich condensate of (a) phenol or an inertly-substituted phenol, (b) formaldehyde, and (c) a mixture of (i) diethanolamine and (ii) at least one other alkanolamine, wherein the weight ratio of diethanolamine to the other alkanolamine is from about 1:19 to about 19:1.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
29 words
The polyurethane foam of claim 1 wherein the alkoxylation comprises addition of from about 0.5 to about 25 moles of alkylene oxide per hydroxyl group on the Mannich condensate.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
16 words
The polyurethane foam of claim 2 wherein the other alkanolamine is diisopropanolamine, ethanolisopropanolamine, ethanolamine or monoisopropanolamine.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
28 words
The polyurethane foam of claim 1 wherein components (a) and (b) are used in a molar ratio of about 1:0.9 to about 1:3.5 in preparing the Mannich condensate.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
28 words
The polyurethane foam of claim 4 wherein components (b) and (c) are used in a molar ratio of about 1:0.75 to about 1:1.5 in preparing the Mannich condensate.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
