Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a coolant whose shape can be determined according to cooling applications and also can be changed easily at low temperatures by mixing and agitating a polymer having high water absorbability, having absorbed water at a predetermined weight ratio and a two-fluid reaction synthetic resin. CONSTITUTION:Water is added to polymer 1 having required particle size such as vinyl alcohol/acrylic acid copolymer, polyacrylic soda for mixing thereof to cause the polymer having high water absorbability to swell to an allowable maximum extent, following which particles of the swelled polymer 1 are caused to hold a rubber like state of two-fluid reaction type at low temperature. Polyol of 10 mass % and synthetic resin such as polyisocyanate of 100 mass % are mixed and agitated at a weight ratio of 1: 1. In this manner the external surfaces of particles of the polymer having absorbed water are coated with two-fluid reaction synthetic resin and the particles are conneted to each another. And before the two-fluid reaction synthetic resins react with each other and are solidified, they are formed into various kinds of shapes, whereby the reaction is completed.

The method for producing the coolant of the present invention will be described below.
A super absorbent polymer such as vinyl alcohol / acrylic acid copolymer and sodium polyacrylate is used, and water is added to and mixed with the super absorbent polymer having the required particle size. Utilizing the property of the water-absorbent polymer that absorbs water and solvent and hardly dissolves it. When water is added to this, it absorbs water in a short time and retains the absorbed water. The super absorbent polymer that absorbs water and swells has a predetermined water absorption ratio depending on its material, but it swells up to the maximum allowable.
