Hybrid Polyisocyanurates for Composites and Coatings

Patent Title: DUAL-CURING ISOCYANURATE POLYMERS

Gist”:  Di-isocyanate trimer is reacted with hydroxymethacrylates and polyacrylates in the presence of a trimerization catalyst. 

Why it is interesting: According to these inventions a reaction system with two curing modes can be prepared by mixing high functionality oligomeric isocyanate, ethylenically unsaturated compounds, unsaturated compounds containing isocyanate-reactive groups, timerization catalyst and a free-radical initiator at an NCO index of 100 to 200. The system shows a relatively low viscosity and can e.g. be used in fiber-reinforced composites and in coatings. In the examples HDI trimer is reacted with hexanedioldimethacrylate and hydroxypropylmethacrylate in the presence of potassium acetate and a peroxybenzoic acid.

Spray Foam with Increased Reactivity

Gist”: Addition of dicarboxilic acid reduces cream time in amine catalyzed foams

Why it is interesting: A short cream time has advantages for rigid PU spray foam because it can reduce dripping of the material after application.  According to this invention the cream time of an amine-catalyzed, HFC-blown spray foam composition can -surprisingly-be reduced by addition of a dicarboxilic acid, preferably succinic or glutaric acid. The diacids are used in a ratio of about 2 equivalents acid to 1 equivalent of (free) amine. In the examples a clear reduction of cream time is shown compared to compositions with no diacid, a mono-acid or less than the required amount of diacid. However, all examples also contain some trimerization catalyst (2-hydroxypropyl trimethylammonium formate) next to the tert-amine catalyst (N,N-dimethylcyclohexylamine). It would be interesting to see an example without the trimerization catalyst i.m.o.

Succinic acid.
