Abstract:
PROCESS FOR PREPARING CURED POLYURETHANE FOAM CONSISTING ESSENTIALLY OF (1) FORMING A HEAT CURABLE POLYURETHANE-FORMING FROTH WHICH IS SUBSTANTIALLY STRUCTURALLY AND CHEMICALLY STABLE, BUT WORKABLE AT AMBIENT CONDITIONS AND (2) HEATING SAID FROTH AT A TEMPERATURE OF AT LEAST 70*C. TO FORM A CURED POLYURETHANE FOAM.
Abstract:
THIS INVENTION RELATES TO THE USE OF NOVEL COMBINATIONS OF FOAM STABLIZING SURFACTANTS IN THE PRODUCTION OF FLEXIBLE POLYESTER URETHANE FOAMS. THE NOVEL FOAM STABILIZER COMBINATIONS CONSIST OF (A) AN ANIONIC ORGANIC SURFACTANT THAT IS SOLUBLE IN THE POLYESTER REACTANT AT ROOM TEMPERATURE AND THAT IS CAPABLE OF LOWERING THE SURFACE TENSION OF THE POLYESTER RESIN REACTANT WHEN DISSOLVED THEREIN AND, (B) A SILOXANE-POLYOXYALKYLENE BLOCK COPOLYMER SURFACTANT THAT HAS A CRITICAL MOLECULAR WEIGHT, SILOXANE CONTENT AND OXYETHYLENE CONTENT. THE NOVEL SURFACTANT COMBINATIONS ALLOW FOR THE PRODUCTION OF FLEXIBLE POLYESTER URETHANE FOAMS HAVING FINE, UNIFORM CELL STRUCTURE, LOW COMPRESSION SET AND FREEDOM FROM LARGE VOIDS AND SPLITS.
Abstract:
Process for providing a backing on a carpeting material comprising (1) forming a heat curable polyurethane forming froth which is substantially structurally and chemically stable but workable at ambient conditions, (2) applying said froth to the back of carpeting; (3) shaping said froth and (4) curing the resultant shaped froth at a temperature of at least 70*C. to form a cured polyurethane foam backing on said carpeting material.
Abstract:
1293331 Preparation of siloxane alcohols UNION CARBIDE CORP 8 Jan 1970 [13 Jan 1969] 1026/70 Heading C3T A siloxane alcohol is prepared by reaction of a siloxane containing an SiH group and free of aliphatic unsaturation with a compound containing an alcoholic hydroxy group and an olefinic double bond, in the presence of a platinum catalyst and a base soluble in water or a 6 : 10 v./v. mixture of water and isopropanol at 0-1 N concentration to give a pH of 8-12. Suitable alkenols and alkenyl ethers of polyols are listed, including cyclic acetals; monoalkenyl ethers of polyoxyalkylene glycols are preferred. Preferred siloxanes are linear hydrogen-hydrocarbon polysiloxanes. Examples describe the reaction of polysiloxanes with allyl alcohol or HO(C 2 H 4 O) 7 CH 2 CH=CH 2 or a mixture of this with its methyl ether, in the presence of H 2 PtCl 6 and hexadecyl dimethylamine, NaHCO 3 or Na 2 CO 3 , in xylene. The base suppresses reaction of -OH with SiH groups.
