Abstract
Abstract A process for the preparation of isocyanurate and urethane group-containing and, if desired, uretdiode and allophanate group-containing polyisocyanate mixtures by partially cyclizing organic, preferably (cyclo)aliphatic diisocyanates, in the presence of trimerization catalysts, deactivating these catalysts, reacting the partially trimerized, isocyanurate and, if desired, uretdiode group-containing polyisocyanate mixture with 0.5 to 10 mol % of at least one aliphatic or cycloaliphatic alcohol and/or polyoxyalkylene alcohol, and separating off the monomeric diisocyanates.
