Abstract:
The present invention relates to non-flammable compositions comprising chlorotrifluoropropene with reduced risk of flammability which are useful as refrigerants, heat transfer fluids, solvents, cleaners, blowing agents, aerosols, extraction fluids, and the like.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed towards a method of stabilizing thermosetting foam blends such as polyurethane poly blends containing a blowing agent with negligible (low or zero) ozone-depletion and low GWP based upon unsaturated halogenated hydroolefins in which one or more ester is added to the thermosetting foam blends. The thermosetting foam blends typically in clued: polyol(s); surfactant(s); catalyst(s); flame retardent(s); organic acid inhibitor(s)/stabilizer(s); carbon dioxide generating agent(s). The addition of the one or more esters to the thermosetting foam blends was unexpectedly found to result in blends which were stable over time and the resulted foams have a uniform cell structure with little or no foam collapse.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed towards a method of purification of chloroolefins having 3 carbons and to a method to provide stable compositions of chloroolefins having 3 carbons. The chloroolefins are purified via the use of a solid adsorbents for the removal of decomposition product such as phosgene and/or phosgene precursory from the reaction of the chloroolefins with oxygen. The chloroolefins stabilized against an increase of the phosgene level via the addition of inhibitors to the chloroolefins.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method of producing more uniformly distributed polyurethane form using blowing agents. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method of producing more uniformly distributed polyurethane foam for an application in which flow of liquid polyurethane foam prior to solidification is important to its performance using a hydrochlorofluoroolefin (HCFO), such as 1233zd.
Abstract:
A one reactor, gas phase catalyzed process for the fluorination of 1,1,2,3-tetrachloropropene (1230xa) to produce 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoropropene (1234yf) is disclosed. The process of the present invention is a catalytic, gas phase fluorination using a high pressure activated catalyst which is supported or unsupported. Fluorination products of the formula CF3R, where R is selected from -CCl=CH2, -CF=CH2, -CF2-CH3, -CFCl-CH3 and mixtures thereof are produced. Co-produced materials are separated from the desired product and recycled to the same reactor.
Abstract:
The invention relates to heat transfer agents and heat transfer compositions containing hydrocarbon lubricating oils and halogentaed alkene heat transfer fluid that promote oil flow and provide for improved oil return. The heat transfer compositions are useful in various heat transfer systems such as refrigeration, cooling, air conditioning, chiller operations.
Abstract:
Provided are azeotrope-like compositions comprising 1,1,1-trifluoro-3-chloropropene (HCFO-1233zd) and dimethoxymethane and uses thereof, including use in refrigerant compositions, refrigeration systems, blowing agent compositions, solvent, and aerosol propellants.
Abstract:
Disclosed are the combinations containing Z and E stereoisomers of hydrofluoroolefins where the more toxic isomer is less than about 30 % weight of the combination (vs the sum of Z+E), to minimize the toxicity impact in the applications they will be used for such as cooling and heat fluids, foams blowing agents or solvents. Also disclosed are means to obtain combinations containing Z and E stereoisomers of hydrofluoroolefins.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a combination of hydrofluoroolefins and/or hydrochlorofluoroolefins with stabilizers wherein the stabilizers minimize the degradation of the hydrofluoroolefins and hydrochlorofluoroolefins during storage, handling and use yet allow for atmospheric degradation. The combinations exhibit low or zero ozone depletion potential and lower global warming potential making them of interest as replacements for chlorofluorocarbons and hydrfluorocarbons. The combinations of the present invention comprise hydrofluoroolefins and/or hydrochlorofluoroolefins in combination with a stabilizer or stabilizers selected from free radical scavengers, acid scavengers, oxygen scavengers, polymerization inhibitors and combinations thereof.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses a process for the synthesis of hydrofluoroolefins (HFO). The process is based on the following two steps: the liquid phase fluorination of a hydrochloropropane(s) to hydrofluoropropane(s) (HFP) followed by the dehydrofluorination of the hydrofluoropropane(s) (HFP) to hydrofluoroolefins (HFO).
