Definitions

  • the invention relates to a closed cell phenolic foam and to foam mixtures used in producing such foams.
  • Phenolic foams are widely used in building applications in view of their thermal insulation and fire resistant properties. Such phenolic foams are generally prepared by mixing a phenol formaldehyde resin with a blowing agent, a cell stabliliser and a hardener.
  • EP - A - 0170357 describes one such process for preparing a phenolic foam using Freon as a blowing agent, aqueous sulphuric acid as a hardener, and a cell stabiliser derived by oxylating castor oil with ethylene oxide or mixtures thereof with propylene oxide.
  • Freon is a particular chlorofluorocarbon (CFC).
  • EP-A-0439283 describes the use of a complex blend of materials as an alternative blowing agent to a CFC.
  • the blend comprises: at least one perfluoroalkane (PFA) (especially perfluoropentane, perfluorohexane or perfluoroheptane); and at least one component selected from a hydrogenated chlorofluorocarbon (HFC) and a specific alkane or cycloalkane.
  • PFA perfluoroalkane
  • HFC hydrogenated chlorofluorocarbon
  • US 4,530,939 describes a process for preparing a foam material wherein a phenol- aldehyde resole resin, a blowing agent and a surfactant are mixed with an acid catalyst to form an admixture which is poured into a forming means and cured.
  • the resole resin is stripped using a solvent to reduce viscosity and water content.
  • An unbranched dihydroxy either polyglycol is added to the stripped resole resin.
  • the surfactant used in the process is an alkyl siloxane alkylene oxide block copolymer.
  • the blowing agent is trichloromethane.
  • US 3,271,331 describes a mixture for use in producing a foamed phenol-aldehyde resole resin.
  • the mixture comprises a phenol-aldehyde resole resin and a siloxane- oxyalkylene copolymer as a foam stabiliser for the foamed phenol-aldehyde resole resin.
  • Crosslinking compounds and modifiers are also added to the mixture.
  • EP 0899291 describes a thermoplastic resin composition comprising a thermoplastic resin and a clay composite.
  • the clay composite is prepared by introducing a silane compound into a swellable silicate.
  • a phenolic foam mixture for producing a substantially closed cell phenolic foam comprising a phenolic resin, a polysiloxane copolymer used as a surfactant, a blowing agent, and a catalyst (polymerization initiator), the polysiloxane copolymer having:-
  • a polypropylene oxide content of from 15% to 20% by weight.
  • the improved phenolic foam of the invention is easily processed and has good long term aged thermal conductivity properties.
  • a polysiloxane cell stabiliser as defined is used at a low addition level.
  • the polysiloxane content of the surfactant is from 28% to 32% by weight.
  • the polyethylene oxide content of the surfactant is preferably from 51% to 55% by weight.
  • the polypropylene oxide content of the surfactant is preferably from 16% to 18% by weight.
  • the surfactant has a polysiloxane content of approximately 28% by weight, a polyethylene oxide content of approximately 55% by weight and a polypropylene oxide content of approximately 18% by weight.

  • the surfactant may be present in an amount of at least 0.5 parts by weight of the mixture.
  • the invention also provides the use of a surfactant having:-
  • a polypropylene oxide content of from 15% to 20% by weight in the manufacture of a substantially closed cell phenolic insulating foam.
  • the surfactant is preferably as defined above.
  • the invention provides a phenolic insulating foam with a closed cell content of at least 90% prepared from the foam mixture of the invention.
  • the invention is based on the surprising finding that closed cell phenolic foams can be produced by using relatively small quantities of specific polysiloxane copolymers as surfactants.
  • Polysiloxane copolymers would not normally be considered as suitable components for closed cell phenolic foams. We have however, surprisingly found that certain polysiloxane copolymers can be effectively used as surfactants in producing closed cell phenolic foams.
  • the closed cell value may be measured by the method described in B.S. 4370/ASTM D2856.
  • the foam of the invention has a closed cell content of greater than 90% when measured by this method.

  • the preferred foam of the invention has a ⁇ value at 30 days or longer of less than about 0.018 W/m.K. Even more surprisingly the thermal conductivity remains stable when tested at high temperatures of about 70°C over prolonged periods, which is the preferred temperature to accelerate ⁇ -ageing of foams in the European standard EN 13166.
  • Foams were manufactured in the laboratory using the formulations below. The chemicals were mixed by means of a high speed laboratory stirrer and poured into an open topped mould, with an approximate volume of 1 litre. The mould was then placed in an oven at 55 °C for a minimum of 3 hours. The foam was then de-moulded and allowed to cool to ambient temperature before cutting and testing.
