  • Patent number: 11447594
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for producing translucent polyurethane and polyisocyanurate foams by reaction of a component A comprising A1 at least one polyol reactive with the component B; A2 optionally at least one amine; A3 water and optionally formic acid; A4 at least one foam stabilizer; A5 optionally auxiliary and/or additive substances; A6 optionally at least one flame retardant; A7 at least one catalyst; and a component B comprising B1 at least one aliphatic or cycloaliphatic polyisocyanate component or a combination thereof; and B2 optionally at least one hydrophilized isocyanate; and B3 less than 20 parts by weight of an aromatic polyisocyanate component, wherein the parts by weight of B3 are based on the sum of the parts by weight of B1 to B3 normalized to 100 parts by weight, characterized in that the reaction of the component A with the component B is carried out at an isocyanate index of at least 150, wherein the obtained translucent polyurethane and polyisocyanurate foams have a li

  • Patent number: 11225545
    Abstract: The present invention relates to specific translucent, preferably lightfast, polyurethane foams which have a high light transmission and are therefore suitable e.g. for producing translucent polyurethane foams or multilayer composite elements, for example for producing structural components, more particularly as roof elements such as strip lights and light domes, as wall elements such as a panel, in vehicles, in lamps, as furniture, as partitions and in sanitary facilities.

  • Publication number: 20210380753
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for producing translucent polyurethane and polyisocyanurate foams by reaction of a component A, comprising A1 at least one polyol reactive with component B; A2 optionally at least one amine; A3 water and optionally formic acid or at least one physical blowing agent or mixtures thereof; A4 at least one foam stabilizer; A5 optionally auxiliary and/or additive substances; A6 optionally at least one flame retardant; A7 at least one catalyst; and a component B, comprising B1 at least one aliphatic or cycloaliphatic polyisocyanate component or a combination thereof; and B2 optionally at least one hydrophilized isocyanate; and B3 more than or equal to 10 parts by weight and up to 70 parts by weight of an aromatic polyisocyanate component, wherein the parts by weight of B3 are based on the sum of the parts by weight of B1 to B3 which are normalized to 100 parts by weight.

  • Patent number: 10808070
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a polyisocyanurate foam obtainable by reacting a mixture in the presence of a catalyst and optionally an initiator, comprising or consisting of: A) a polyisocyanate component comprising at least one aliphatic polyisocyanate; B) a component reactive to isocyanate comprising at least one polyol and/or an alcohol and also optionally an amine; C) at least one blowing agent; D) at least one foam stabilizer and E) optionally at least one additive, characterized in that the mixture, upon accompanying use of an isocyanate-reactive component (polyol, alcohol, amine), has an index of at least 200. The invention further relates to a process for producing such a foam and use thereof as an insulating material, as a construction element, as facade insulation, as reactor insulation, as battery insulation, as superheated steam insulation, as insulation for a still, or as weather-resistant insulating material.
