Functionalized Polymer Polyols

Title: COPOLYMER POLYOL WITH FUNCTIONAL ADDITIVE IN DISPERSED PHASE

 Number/Link: WO2017/053064

Applicant/Assignee: Dow

Publication date: 30-mar-2017

“Gist”: Polymer polyols are prepared by melt-dispersion of functionalized polystyrene in a carier polyol.

Why it is interesting: The preparation of polymer polyols by melt-dispersion is known and has been discussed before in this blog. According to this invention the thermoplastic to be dispersed is first pre-compounded with one or more ‘functional components’, like pigments, flame ratardants, high density fillers, etc. In the examples polystyrene is compounded with additives like TiO2 and flame retardants in a twin-screw extruder combined with a pelletizer. The molten pellets are then dispersed under shear in a polyether polyol together with a stabilizer.  The stabilizer is a copolymer prepared from an unsaturated branched polyol and styrene.
The polymer polyols are useful for the production of PU flexible foams and elastomers.
