Polyamide Polymer Polyols

Patent Title: POLYAMIDE DISPERSION IN POLYOL AND PREPARATION THEREOF

 Number/Link: WO2017/216209

Applicant/Assignee:  BASF

Publication date: 21 December 2017

“Gist”: Polyamide particles from polyether diamine and adipic acid are dispersed in polyol

Why it is interesting: Conventional polymer polyols contain either SAN-, polyurethane- or polyurea particles (see e.g. here).  According to this invention, polymer polyol dispersions can also be prepared by reacting a diamine, containing at least 50 wt% of a linear polyether having two terminal primary amine groups with a dicarboxylic acid (e.g. adipic acid) in a polyether polyol.  The reaction results in a dispersion of polyamide particles in the polyether polyol, stabilized by the polyether diamine. The polymer polyols are useful for flexible foam production and are said to show an improved hydrolysis resistance.

PCM-Containing Viscoelastic Foams

Patent Title: VISCOELASTIC POLYURETHANE FOAM WITH COATING

Number/Link: WO2017/210439

Applicant/Assignee: Dow

Publication date: 7 December 2017

“Gist”: Open-celled visco-foam is impregnated with an aqueous dispersant composition containing a phase change material

Why it is interesting: According to Dow, open-celled viscoelastic polyurethane foams can be prepared by using a acid-modified polyolefin latex cellopener, as discussed before in this blog. In the current invention these open-celled foams are impregnated with an aqueous composition comprising an ionomer (a sodium salt of a maleic anhydride copolymer) and a microencapsulated PCM. The composition is said to ‘coat’ the cell struts with PCM and increase the comfort properties of the foam.
I wonder if with this process enough PCM can be in introduced to have a noticeable effect.

TPU Aerosol

Title: POLYURETHANE AEROSOL COMPOSITIONS, ARTICLES, AND RELATED METHODS

Number/Link: US20170198150

Applicant/Assignee: 3M

Publication Date: 13-july-2017  (priority PCT)

“Gist”: Aqueous dispersion of a hydrazide-extended  TPU can be sprayed as aerosol to make protective films

Why it is interesting: An aqueous thermoplastic polyurethane dispersion is prepared from a non-yellowing diisocyanate, e.g. bis(4-isocyanatocyclohexyl), a diol (e.g. PPG2000), a difunctional hydrazine or hydrazide chain extender (e.g. 1,3-diaminourea) and a water solubilizing compound (e.g. dimethylolpropionic acid).  Together with a propellant the, composition is shelf-stable and can be aerosol-sprayed to form clear, non-yellowing protective films.
