Abstract: Polyisocyanates based on polyhydroxy polyethers and tolylene diisocyanate containing ether and urethane groups and having an isocyanate group content of from 11.8 to 14.4% by weight, an average isocyanate functionality of from 3.1 to 4.0 and a free tolylene diisocyanate content of less than 0.1% by weight are produced by reacting a polyhydroxy polyether having a molecular weight in the range of from about 350 to about 500 with excess quantities of tolylene diisocyanate and subsequently distilling the mixture to remove unreacted excess of the starting diisocyanate. These polyisocyanates are particularly useful in the production of polyurethane lacquers.

Abstract: Polyisocyanate preparations containing latent tin catalysts are made from an organic polyisocyanate and a reaction product of a sulfonyl isocyanate and an organic tin catalyst in which at least one tin-oxygen bond is present. The organic tin catalyst preferably contains a tin-alkoxy, tin-siloxy, distannoxane and/or tin-carboxylate group. The reaction product of a sulfonyl isocyanate with a tin-carboxylate must generate carbon dioxide during its formation. The sulfonyl isocyanate and organic tin compound are used in quantities such that at least one isocyanato-sulfonyl group is present for each tin-oxygen bond. These polyisocyanate preparation are storage stable and may be used to produce adhesives, coatings and foams.
