Hybrid Polyisocyanurates for Composites and Coatings

Patent Title: DUAL-CURING ISOCYANURATE POLYMERS

 Number/Link:WO2018/087395 WO2018/087396  WO2018/087399 (German)

Applicant/Assignee:  Covestro

Publication date: 17 May 2018

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.

Patent Title: METHOD FOR PRODUCING A POLYISOCYANURATE COMPOSITE MATERIAL

 Number/Link: WO 2017/191216  (German)

Applicant/Assignee:  Covestro

Publication date: 9 November 2017

Gist”: Partially trimerized aliphatic diisocyanates are mixed with glass fiber and reacted using a trimerization catalyst

Why it is interesting: Conventional fiber-reinforced composites based on unsaturated polyesters, epoxies, polyurethane and the like are not weather-stable and need to be coated for outdoor use. Weather stable polyisocyanurate composites are known (WO2007/096216 – Huntsman) but are based on aromatic diisocyanates and show high reactivity and short ‘pot life’. According to this invention, PIR composites with improved reaction profile and weatherability can be prepared from partially trimerized aliphatic diisocyanates with a diisocyanate monomer content of less than 20% (w/w). In the examples commercially available HDI and IPDI trimer is used together with short glass fiber and a potassium acetate/PEG 400 blend as catalyst cured at a temperature of 160 to 180°C.
