Abstract: A prepolymer having a molecular weight of at least 3,000 is made from a polyether polyol where all the OH groups are capped with an aliphatic polyisocyanate. When mixed with water the prepolymer reacts to form an elastomeric cross-linked polyurethane gel adhesive which can be used to adhere fibers to from a nonwoven fabric. Examples of the aliphatic diisocyanate are IPDI (isophorone diisocyanate) and hydrogenated MDI. A catalyst can also be applied to the aqueous mixture to accelerate the adhesive binder formation.

Abstract: This invention is directed to latent thermal curing agents for epoxy resins comprising cyanourea compounds of the formula: ##STR1## wherein R is the organic moiety of a mono- or poly-isocyanate remaining after reaction of the isocyanate group or groups to form cyanourea groups and n is 1 or more, preferably 1 to 2.

The polymeric form polymerized from dicyanourea compound can be dissolved in a solvent and admixed with an epoxy resin to form a thermoset adhesive, sealant or coating on heating above 100.degree. C. The polymeric form from the combination of cyanourea and dicyanourea or dicyanourea per se dissolving in epoxy resin also forms a thermosetting adhesive, sealant or coating on heating above 100.degree. C.
Abstract: An MDI based polyurethane foam having cellulose foam properties is produced by mixing together an aqueous phase which can optionally contain reinforcing fibers and surfactants and a resin phase comprising a prepolymer derived from a poly(oxy C.sub.2-4 alkylene)diol, an MDI containing isocyanate product having a functionality greater than 2.0 made of a mixture of MDI and isocyanate containing derivatives of MDI, and a monomeric polyol cross-linking agent having 3 or 4 hydroxyl equivalents per mole. The preferred polyol is trimethylolpropane and the preferred diol is Carbowax 1000. The diol and the polyol, such as trimethylolpropane, are present in a mole ratio in the range of 4:1 to 8:1 while the ratio of the isocyanate equivalents to the total hydroxyl equivalents is in the range of 3:1 to 4:1. The isocyanate containing product comprises more than 50% by weight of the prepolymer and Isonate 143L is the preferred isocyanate product. The foam has a minimal swell when wet and it does not curl upon drying.
Abstract: This invention relates to a heat curable composition comprising(a) a liquid, ethylenically unsaturated monomer, oligomer or prepolymer of the formula: ##STR1## wherein R is H or CH.sub.3, R.sub.1 is an organic moiety and n is at least 2,(b) an epoxy resin containing at least two ##STR2## groups, and (c) a thermal initiator member of the group consisting of(1) a substituted or unsubstituted diaryliodonium salt in combination with a free radical initiator,(2) a BF.sub.3 adduct,(3) a BF.sub.3 adduct in combination with a free radical initiator, and(4) dicyandiamide in combination with a free radical initiator.The system is stable at ordinary temperatures, but on heating the thermal initiator catalyzes the curing of the acrylate and the epoxy resin.

Abstract: A sound deadening material is obtained with a very high loading of sound damping materials such as barium sulfate, calcium carbonate or metal powders. These materials are mixed with water and are bound together by adding a water-miscible isocyanate-terminated prepolymer which reacts with the water to form a cross-linked binder.

Abstract: Flexible polyurethane foams are made from isocyanate containing prepolymers where the isocyanate is a mixture of diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI) and polymeric forms of MDI. The isocyanate mixture has a functionality greater than 2.0. The prepolymer is an isocyanate capped polyol or mixture of polyols where the polyols are diols or triols having at least 50% by weight oxyethylene groups. The foams are made by reacting water with the prepolymer and fire retardant materials can be added to the reaction mixture to produce fire retardant foams. The foams have improved physical properties and flammability resistance.
Abstract: A drying chamber for water laden foams supports the foam structure on a porous support and warm air is forced through the foam to dry it. An air impervious mask on the porous support around the object insures that all the air only flows through the object. Multiple objects can also be dried and loaded outside the drying chamber.
