Abstract:
A PROCESS AND APPARATUS FOR THE DEGRADATION OF HIGH MOLECULAR WE MOLECULAR WEIGHT POLYISOBUTYLENE IN A SCREW EXTRUDER PROVIDED WITH A SCREW SPINDLE BY THE ACTION OF SHEARING FORCES IN THREE DEGRADATION ZONES CONNECTED BY CONVEYING ZONES, THE POLYISOBUTYLENE BEING EXPOSED, AS IT IS CONVEYED FROM DEGRADATION ZONE TO DEGRADATION ZONE, TO TEMPERATURES ALTERNATING BETWEEN 150* AND 350*C. AND TO ALTERNATING SHEARING FORCES WHICH RESULT FROM VELOCITY GRADIENTS OF FROM ABOUT 100 TO ABOUT 700 SEC-1 MAINTAINED BETWEEN THE SHEARING SURFACES OF THE WALL OF THE BARREL AND THE SCREW WHICH ARE MOVING IN RELATION TO ONE ANOTHER.
Abstract:
In a process for the production of flexible isocyanate polymers a mixture in the ratio of 1:1 to 1:0,06 of a monomeric or partly polymerized aliphatic diisocyanate and a saturated aliphatic or cycloaliphatic compound consisting of a hydrocarbon or halogenated hydrocarbon radical and one functional group capable of adding on to an isocyanate, said compound being a monohydric alcohol with 3 to 18 carbon atoms, a halogenated monohydric alcohol with 2 to 18 carbon atoms, a primary or secondary monoamine with 3 to 18 carbon atoms or a monocarboxylic acid with 3 to 18 carbon atoms is polymerized with the aid of a catalyst containing metal. Up to 40% of aromatic or hydroaromatic isocyanates, e.g. phenyl isocyanate, naphthylene, 1,5-diisocyanate, cyclohexyl-1,4-diisocyanate or dicyclohexyl-4, 41-diisocyanate may also be present in the mixture. Specified aliphatic and cycloaliphatic derivatives are propanol, normal and tertiary butanols, 2-ethyl-hexanol, cyclohexanol, beta-decahydronaphthol, hexylamine, iso-octylamine, dibutylamine, cyclohexyl-amine, dicyclohexylamine, butyric acid, stearic acid, ethylene chlorhydrin and chlorbutanol. As catalysts there can be used aluminium alcoholates, e.g. aluminium beta-decalolate, butylate or dimethylamino-propylate; sodium methylate or stearylate; titanium tetrachloride; calcium acetate, aluminium stearate or aluminium oxybutyrate; or tin acetylacetone. Reaction temperatures of 50 DEG -200 DEG C. are suitable. The products can be used as adhesives and coatings. Suitable solvents are hydrocarbons, chloro-hydrocarbons, acetone, esters or ethers. In Example (1) crude hexamethylene diisocyanate is heated at 140 DEG C. with butanol solution of aluminium butylate and the product is heated further with 2-ethylhexanol. The product as a thin layer dries in air at 130 DEG C. or without external heating when aluminium butylate is added. Specification 809,809 is referred to.ALSO:In a process for the production of flexible isocyanate polymers a mixture in the ratio of 1 : 1 to 1 : 0.06 of a monomeric or partly polymerised aliphatic diisocyanate and a saturated aliphatic or cycloaliphatic compound consisting of a hydrocarbon or halogenated hydrocarbon radical and one functional group capable of adding on to an isocyanate, said compound being a monohydric alcohol with 3 to 18 carbon atoms, a halogenated monohydric alcohol with 2 to 18 carbon atoms, a primary or secondary monoamine with 3 to 18 carbon atoms or a monocarboxylic acid with 3 to 18 carbon atoms is polymerised with the aid of a catalyst containing metal.
