TPUs from Block Polyester Polyols

Patent Title: THERMOPLASTIC POLYURETHANE HAVING HIGH TEAR PROPAGATION STRENGTH  & PROCESS FOR PRODUCING TRANSPARENT HARD THERMOPLASTIC POLYURETHANES

 Number/Link: WO2018/115460  WO2018/115464

Applicant/Assignee:  BASF

Publication date: 28 June 2018

“Gist”:  Polyester polyols containing a “hard block” of polyethyleneterephthalate are used in the preparation of TPU 

Why it is interesting: According to this invention thermoplastic polyurethanes with a high hardness at a relatively low hardblock level (<75%), or a high tear strength at relatively low Tg (<5°C) can be prepared from a polyester polyol that is a block copolymer containing 10-50% of an aromatic polyester block, the rest being aliphatic polyester. In the examples diols are prepared from PET together with adipic acid and BDO or DEG. The diols are reacted with MDI or HDI and a chain extender like BDO or HDO.

Fiber Reinforced TPU Composites

Patent Title: THERMOPLASTIC POLYURETHANE MATRIX RESIN

 Number/Link: WO 2018/104145

Applicant/Assignee:  Henkel

Publication date: 14 June 2018

“Gist”: TPU based on a vicinal alkane diol together with an alkoxylated aromatic diol can be used as matrix material in a fiber composite

Why it is interesting: According to this invention a thermoplastic polyurethane with a high Tg (pref. >80°C) and a high stiffness (>1GPa) can be prepared from a short chain, sterically hindered, vicinal diol (e.g. 1,2-propanediol or 2,3-butanediol), an alkoxylated aromatic diol (e.g. alkoxylated bisphenol A or F) and an aromatic diisocyanate (e.g. 4,4’MDI) pref. mixed with some high functionality isocyanate (e.g. polymeric MDI) to control branching an molecular weight. The TPU composition can be used to make a fiber reinforced composite in an RTM-type process. The cured thermoplastic matrix has high mechanical properties but still allows for post-cure modification of the moulded part.

TPU for RTM

Patent Title: THERMOPLASTIC PUR WITH HIGH TG FOR REACTION TRANSFER MOLDING (RTM)

 Number/Link: WO2018/050433

Applicant/Assignee:  Henkel

Publication date: 22 march 2018

“Gist”:  High Tg TPU from polycyclic diols

Why it is interesting: The invention is about thermoplastic polyurethanes with high Tg and high stiffness that are useful for fiber-reinforced composites made by (reactive) resin transfer moulding.  The TPU is prepared from an isocyanate, a conventional diol chain extender and at least 25% (w/w) of a bridged- fused- or spiro- polycyclic diol. In the examples MDI is reacted with 1,2-propanediol or 2,3-butandiol and 4,8-bis(hydroxymethyl)tricyclo[5.2.1.02,6]decane. The resulting TPUs show a Tg of more than 135°C.
