PU Elastomers from SGO Polymerized Acrylic Polyols

Patent Title: PHYSICAL PROPERTY IMPROVEMENT OF POLYURETHANES

 Number/Link: WO2018/132648

Applicant/Assignee:  BASF

Publication date: 19 July 2018

“Gist”: Solvent-free acrylate polyols are reacted together with polyether polyols and diisocyanates

Why it is interesting: In this invention a solvent-free (“100% solids” in the patent’s terminology) acrylic polyol is blended with a conventional polyether polyol and reacted with an aliphatic or aromatic diisocyanate.  The acrylic polyol is prepared by co-polymerizing (e.g.)  ethyl- or butyl (meth)acrylates, styrene and a hydroxyl functional acrylate like 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate or 4-hydroxybutyl acrylate, using BASF’s “solid grade oligomer” (SGO) polymerization process. The SGO process is a high temperature and high pressure continuous process allowing for the production of low-solvent acrylic resins. The polyurethanes are said to have increased physical properties, esp. tear- and tensile strength properties.

Phosgene-Free Polyisocyanate with PDMS Backbone

Patent Title: MULTI-FUNCTIONAL CARBAMATE HAVING SOFT-SEGMENTS, POLYISOCYANATE OBTAINED VIA SUBSEQUENT NON-PHOSGENE SYNTHESIS METHODS, URETHANE PREPOLYMER AND ELASTOMERIC URETHANE HAVING SOFT-SEGMENTS DERIVED THEREFROM, AND PREPARATION METHOD THEREOF

 Number/Link: US20180186918

Applicant/Assignee:  Great Eastern Resins Industrial

“Gist”: Biscarbamate with PDMS softblock backbone is heat-cracked into diisocyanates

Why it is interesting: The invention relates to isocyanate-capped “softblock” siloxanyl prepared without using phosgene and polyurethanes derived therefrom. The invention is accomplished by reacting relatively high MW polydimethylsiloxanediamines with diphenylcarbonate.  The resulting biscarbamate is heated under reduced pressure to produce the diisocyanate and to remove the phenol by-product.  The isocyanates can be reacted with polyols and/or chain extenders to produce highly hydrophobic polyurethanes with low surface tension and good chemical resistance.

Catalyst System for Frothed Foams

Patent Title: METHOD FOR DELAYING CURING IN POLYURETHANE AND COMPOSITIONS AND ARTICLES MADE THEREFROM

 Number/Link: WO2018/075302

Applicant/Assignee:  Rogers

Publication date: 26-April-2018

“Gist”: A mixture of  a metal acetylacetonate and a catalytic inhibitor prevents premature curing

Why it is interesting:  A catalyst system that prevents premature curing of frothed (PORON® – type) foams consists of  ferric acetylacetonate catalyst and a β-diketone inhibitor e.g. acetylacetone or dibenzoyl methane. The catalyst combination allows for handling of the raw materials at 55°C for 5 minutes without reacting.  Frothed foams tend to have improved properties, like compression set as compared to conventional foams.
