“Gist”: Use of low-reactive, low-viscosity PU systems for oil well sealing

Why it is interesting: It is known that partially depleted fracking wells can be “re-fractured” to increase production. Prior to this operation former perforations in the well casing need to be sealed to prevent furthering of existing fractures, by using a chemical “diverting agent”. According to this invention, the diverting agent can be a polyurethane system with a long potlife and relatively low viscosity, which is prepared from an unblocked hexamethylene diisocyanate and a polypropyleneoxide triol which is miscible with the isocyanate. In the examples an allophanate-modified HDI is used together with a 450-molecular weight PO triol and a delayed-action tert amine catalyst. The system does not de-mix and has a gel time ranging from 30 to more than 1000 minutes.

Hybrid Polyisocyanurates for Composites and Coatings

Patent Title: DUAL-CURING ISOCYANURATE POLYMERS

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

“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.

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.
