Definitions

  • Polyurethanes come to mind first when one thinks of foam products, and indeed polyurethanes dominate the solid foam market. Such foams may be either rigid or flexible, depending on how the process of manufacture takes place. In fact, polyurethane systems allow enormous variations in the polymerization and fabrication processes; it is this complexity which keeps the urethane area a fertile field for development and expansion.
  • polyurethanes are a general class of materials which can be prepared via many different routes, at least in principle.
  • industrial practicalities dictate a preferred approach based on, for example, feedstock availability and ease of processing.
  • condensation polymerization of bischloroformates with diamines will yield polyurethanes, but the universal large scale practice calls for condensation of diisocyanates with diols.
  • diisocyanates with diols.
  • TDI 2,4-toluene diisocyanate
  • P0l3rurethar.es are notoriously defiant regarding fabrication.
  • the production of a good, useful foam object involves precise control over the size and distribution of the hollow voids, or cells in the product.
  • An open cell foam would make a poor life preserver while a closed cell foam would make a poor sponge.
  • Volumes have been written on the problems associated with polyurethane processing, and the subject is generally beyond the scope of this discussion, except as relates to prepolymer stabilization.
  • the present invention provides for treatment of polyols: this process involves the treatment of polyalkylene carbonate polyols, leading to more stable prepolymers and improved urethane products.
  • Polyalkylene carbonate (PAC) polyols may be made by a base-catalyzed reaction, and some catalyst remains in the product PAC. Accordingly, the prior art has depended on residual acid species, e.g., HCl, in the TDI to neutralize the residual base species in the polyol.
  • TDI invariably benzoyl chloride
  • benzoyl chloride simply does not stabilize PAC prepolymers -- even when added in large excess.
  • Benzoyl chloride may prevent a runaway exothermic reaction, but even so, it is just as objectionable as HCl for many applications because residual chloride ions remain in the product.
  • benzoyl chloride does not provide a stable prepolymer.
  • the present invention produces stable PAC prepolymers with dual advantages of longer storage times (before fabrication) and longer gel times (during fabrication). Thus, premature curing does not occur, and the molded products have better physical properties, environmental resistance, etc.
  • the PAC polyol is typically a diol with an equivalent weight of about 250 to 2000, although triols are available. Addition of a strong acid to the PAC polyol neutralizes the residual base catalyst, preventing side reactions, including trimerization of the TDI.
  • the PAC polyol requires initial characterization with respect to its "CPR" count.
  • CPR represents the phrase "controlled polymerization rate,” signifying the amount of residual base in the prepolymer.
  • CPR determination protocol calls for 30 g of PAC in 100 ml of methanol to be titrated with 0.01 N HCl, where the ten times the acid volume is equal to the CPR value. See “Urethane Polyether Prepolymers and Foams: Influence of Chemical and Physical variables on Reaction Behavior” by Schotten, Schuhmann, and TenHoor, in J. Chem. Eng. Data. Vol. 5, No. 3, July 1960. The key is to achieve a negative CPR value by addition of the strong acid. But a CPR value below -100 would be unnecessary, possibly even counterproductive and detrimental to the product.
  • the strong acids used here include methanesulfonic acid (MSA) and para-toluenesulfonic acid (PTSA).
  • MSA methanesulfonic acid
  • PTSA para-toluenesulfonic acid
  • HCl has been found to be an undesirable acid. But it is equally clear that virtually any organosulfonic acid will perform satisfactorily.
  • the process involves mixing an acid with a selected polyol, more particularly with PAC, either before or after it is reacted with a polyisocyanate to form a prepolymer.
  • the mixing procedure is best carried out at 60°F (15°C) to 95°F (35°C), in a closed container.
  • the acid is added to the PAC with stirring.
  • the acid is stirred into the PAC using, for laboratory amounts, a stirring device, to mix acid.
  • the amount of acid is quite small; as an example, for one liter of
  • the acid (preferably the PAC polyol itself) is added to the acid, perhaps 10 to 50 to one of acid.
  • the acid is added over time with stirring. If the residual base species in the PAC is known before treatment, the amount of acid can be calculated. On the other hand, acid can be ratably added to achieve base neutralization over time to avoid excessive over dosing. Therefore, the preferred procedure is adding acid while stirring the PAC until the requisite neutralization is accomplished. This extent of acid addition varies primarily with the degree of PAC neutralization. Should insufficient acid be added, the step is repeated until a negative CPR value is obtained.
  • This comparative run shows the inefficacy of benzoyl chloride as a stabilizer.
  • a PAC polyol was reacted with toluene diisocyanate to form a prepolymer having an isocyanate content of 5 percent.
  • the prepolymer CPR values were found according to the procedure mentioned above. Viscosity of the prepolymer after treatment is given in centipoises, as measured with a Brookfield Viscometer Model RVTD. This machine is rotational viscometer containing various spindles, previously calibrated by the manufacturer. The spindle Is placed in the solution to be analyzed and rotated. The viscosity is calculated by multiplying the RPM by the appropriate spindle calibration factor.
  • the first two runs evidence trimerization with the TDI, while the two runs at lower CPR show stability of the prepolymer made with a properly treated PAC.

Abstract

Un procédé de stabilisation de prépolymères applicable à des polyols de carbonate de polyalkylène comprend l'adjonction d'une petite quantité d'un acide organosulfonique que l'on agite jusqu'à achever la neutralisation basique, en d'autres termes jusqu'à atteindre un taux négatif de polymérisation contrôlée, mesuré par un test de détermination du taux de polymérisation contrôlée.
