Abstract
Abstract A process for preparing polyurea or polyurethane/urea foams from a polyamine or aminated polyether polyol is provided. The process comprises reacting the above component with a polyisocyanate (e.g. TDI, MDI etc.), a blowing agent (e.g. water) and a carboxylic acid or carboxylate acid salt. The function of the carboxylic acid or carboxylic acid salt is to slow down the reaction between the amine and the isocyanate so that effective foaming can take place before the reaction is completed.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
73 words
A process for making a polyurea or a polyurethane/polyurea foam which comprises reacting a polyisocyanate with respectively either a polyamine or a fully or partially aminated polyether polyol in the presence of a blowing agent characterised in that the process is carried out in the presence of C 1 -C 4 a carboxylic acid or the carboxylic acid salt of a quaternized or protonated C 1 to C 6 mono-, di, or trialkylamine.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
73 words

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
25 words
A process as claimed in claim 1 characterised in that the carboxylic acid is selected from formic acid, acetic acid, oxalic acid and succinic acid.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
36 words
A process as claimed in claim 1 characterised in that the molar ratio of carboxylic acid or carboxylic acid salt to polyamine or fully or partially aminated polyether polyol is in the range 0.5 to 3.5.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
26 words
