Polythiourethanes for 3D Printing

Patent Title: THIOURETHANE POLYMERS, METHOD OF SYNTHESIS THEREOF AND USE IN ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGIES

Number/Link: WO2017/160810

Applicant/Assignee: Univ. Texas

Publication date: 21-September-2017

“Gist”: Photolatent bases are used to catalyse the polythiol-polyisocyanate reaction

Why it is interesting: According to this invention reactive systems useful for additive manufacturing processes can be prepared from polythiols, diisocyanates and a photolatent base. When irradiated the photolatent base will split off a non-nucleophilic base which will catalyse the thiol-isocyanate reaction. The systems can be prepared such that the resulting materials show improved mechanical properties over current 3D printed materials. In an example 2,2′-(ethylenedioxy)diethanethiol and pentaerithritol tetrakis(3-mercaptopropionate) are reacted with HDI using 1,1-dimethyl-1-(2-hydroxypropyl)amine-p-nitrobenzimide (DANBA) as a photolatent base.

Moisture Scavenger for Polyurethane Coatings

Title: PROCESSES FOR MOISTURE SCAVENGING IN PREPARING POLYURETHANE COATINGS AND COMPOSITIONS THEREFOR

“Gist”: Methoxysilicon compound with e-withdrawing group together with hydrophobic t-amine catalyst acts as moisture scavenger

Why it is interesting: Moisture in PU coating compositions can be a problem because it negatively affects both the properties of the composition (pot life and viscosity..) and of the final coating. Moisture scavengers like molecular sieves are well known but often have a negative impact as well. According to this invention, methoxyorganosilicon compounds with at least one electron withdrawing group attached to the silicon atom act as efficient moisture scavengers when used in combination with a hydrophobic tert-methylamine catalyst. Preferred organosilicon compounds have 3 methoxy substituents and one hydrocarbon-based e-withdrawing group, like e.g. fluoroethyltrimethoxysilane. A preferred catalyst is 1,3-bis[3-dimethylaminopropyl]urea (claimed). No examples are given.

Infrared Curable 2K PU Adhesives

Patent Title: LATENT TWO-PART POLYURETHANE ADHESIVES CURABLE WITH INFRARED RADIATION

Number/Link: WO2016/205251 and related cases: WO..5252, WO…5254 and WO..5255

Applicant/Assignee: Dow

“Gist”: Two-component PU adhesive using 3 different delayed-action catalysts

Why it is interesting: Two component adhesive systems need a sufficiently long ‘open time’ preferably combined with a fast cure once activated, e.g. by heat. Heat curing using infrared radiation allows for ‘spot curing’ , i.e. curing only predetermined parts of the adhesive such that the assembly can be handled and can be cured completely in a subsequent step. This process is fast and saves energy. The current invention is about IR curable adhesives containing 3 different types of latent catalysts: a latent room temperature organometallic catalyst based on Sn, Zn or Bi added to the polyol component, a phenol-blocked cyclic amidine and a carboxylic acid blocked cyclic amidine. The two latter catalysts can either be included in the polyol or in the isocyanate component. The catalysts used in the examples are dioctyltinthioglycolate, phenol blocked 1,8-diazabicycloundec-7-ene and a carboxilic acid blocked 1,8-diazabicycloundec-7-ene.
