Abstract:
The invention described herein generally pertains to the use of low boiling point, low vapor pressure blowing agents with froth polyurethane or polyisocyanurate foams to fill hollow cavities (particularly window lineals) and which have lowered exotherms, which prevent deformation of the hollow cavity (e.g., window lineal) and additional achieve filling of longer lengths of window lineals by increasing the foaming and gel times of the reaction.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to polyurethane foams having a polymeric foam structure including a plurality of closed cells therein; and an HFO or HCFO blowing agent, including HCFO-1233zd. In certain aspects, the present invention relates to foam premixes, and the resulting foam structures, that include HCFO-1233zd as blowing agent used alone, or in certain aspects, in a blend with a co-blowing agent such as cyclopentane, iso-pentane, n-pentane, or methyl formate.
Abstract:
The present invention provides azeotrope-like compositions of cis-1,3,3,3-tetrafluoroprone (HFO-1234ze (Z)) with 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluoropropane (HFC-245fa) and uses thereof, including use in refrigerant compositions, refrigeration systems, blowing agent compositions, and aerosol propellants.
Abstract:
A biodegradable two-liquid type foaming composition, which comprises main liquid and auxiliary liquid, is disclosed. The main liquid is formed by mixing polylactic acid powder, polycaprolactone polyol and foaming agent. The auxiliary liquid is formed by mixing polyol and isocyanate. Once the main liquid and the auxiliary liquid are mixed, the foaming reaction proceeds and the biodegradable foam is formed.
Abstract:
This invention relates to azeotrope-like compositions, methods and systems having utility in numerous applications, and in particular, uses for azeotrope-like compositions comprising effective amounts of the compound cis-1,1,1,4,4,4-hexafluoro-2-butene (Z-HFO-1336mzzm), which has the following structure: and another material selected from the group consisting of water, fluoroketones, alcohols, hydrochlorofluoroolefins, and combinations of two or more thereof. These compositions may be used in a wide variety of applications such as, blowing agents, refrigerants, heating agents, power cycle agents, cleaning agents, aerosol propellants, sterilization agents, lubricants, flavor and fragrance extractants, flammability reducing agents, and flame suppression agents.
Abstract:
Latex spray foams formed from a non-aqueous two-part foamable composition are provided. The A-side contains includes a dry latex polymer, a multifunctional acid, and a liquid blowing agent and the B-side contains a polyfunctional aziridine crosslinking agent a plasticizer, and, optionally, a non-functionalized resin. The multifunctional acid may be a secondary emulsion that is added to the composition separately. The polyfunctional aziridine crosslinking agent may be diluted by a plasticizer, which reduces the viscosity of the B-side. The plasticizer should have no acidic protons to react with the crosslinking agent. When no acidic protons are present, the B-side is stable for extended periods of time. Additionally, the inventive foam and composition are desirably free of water. The lack of water or small amount of water in the inventive foam composition permits the foam to be sprayed at temperatures below freezing and to a greater thickness compared to water-containing compositions.
Abstract:
Foam bodies made of thermoplastic polyesters with high homogeneity, a low open-cell factor and high elongation at break under shear stress, the polyester foam containing at least one thermoplastic elastomer such as a thermoplastic copolyester elastomer, in quantities of, for example, 0.5 to 15% by weight based on the weight of the foam body. The foam bodies can be obtained by foaming a starting polyester with low intrinsic viscosity in a mixture with a modification means in the form of a premix containing dianhydrides of tetracarboxylic acids and thermoplastic copolyester elastomers.
Abstract:
Nanodispersions of inorganic clays in isocyanate may be created via pre-exfoliation, delamination, or both of the clay and subsequent mixing with isocyanate. In an embodiment, such an isocyanate nanodispersion is reacted with an isocyanate-reactive material or substrate to form a polyurethane nanocomposite.
