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.

PET-Lignin Polyols

Patent Title: HIGH RECYCLE CONTENT POLYOLS FROM THERMOPLASTIC POLYESTERS AND LIGNIN OR TANNIN

 Number/Link: WO2016/118411

Applicant/Assignee: Resinate Materials Group

Publication date: 28-07-2016

“Gist”: PET is glycolized and then reacted with lignin or tannin

Why it is interesting: This application is about ‘sustainable’ aromatic polyester polyols partly based on recycled materials and partly on biorenewable materials. According to the invention the polyols can be prepared by first glycolizing (waste) PET and subsequently reacting the mixture with lignin at 110-210°C while removing volatile condensation products.  The resulting polyols (pref) show a OH value between 40 and 400 mg KOH/g, a fn of 2-2.2 and a viscosity at 25°C of 500 to 3000 cP. In the examples polyols with up to 25 wt% lignin are shown. The polyols are said to be useful e.g. in 2K PU coating compositions.
