Abstract: Energy-activated room temperature-pumpable polymer compositions, devices for activating and processing the same into solid cellular or non-cellular polymeric materials that can be used as adhesives, sealants, coatings or gasket materials, and methods of making and using the same. The compositions according to the invention include solid particles that include one or more polymers, which are emulsified, dispersed or suspended in a liquid carrier together with at least one processing aid, such as a reactive blowing agent, a low molecular weight surfactant, a high molecular weight surfactant, one or more compounds found in latex paint, starch, cellulosic derived products and combinations of two or more thereof. The processing aids provide various benefits including, for example, reduced density, improved process hygiene, improved foam stability, faster bonding times and/or lower processing temperatures.

Abstract: The invention discloses a new class of silicone surfactants and their use for the preparation of flexible urethane foam. The surfactants incorporate high molecular weight polyethers prepared with narrower molecular weight distributions than conventional polyethers. These polyethers are prepared using a double metal cyanide (DMC) catalyst. These surfactants are better foam stabilizers than the analogous surfactants prepared from conventional polyethers.

Abstract: A stable polymer polyol made by the in situ polymerization of two or more monomers in a polyol blend wherein at least one monomer is a bifunctional compound containing both an isocyanate group and an ethylinically unsaturated group and wherein the polyol blend contains a base polyol and an amine terminated polyether which is more reactive with the bifunctional compound than is the base polyol.

Abstract: Polyurea foams are prepared by the reaction of N-(polyoxyalkyl)-N-(alkyl)amines with organic isocyanates in the presence of a suitable catalyst.

Abstract: This invention relates to silicon-based polymer/polyol stabilizers, processes for their manufacture and polyurethane foams containing these stabilized polymer polyols.

Abstract: This invention describes novel molded flexible polyurethane foam surfactants which can be used in foam having high concentrations of reinforcing graft copolymer solids. The invention also describes the improved process for making these foams using the novel surfactants.

Abstract: This invention relates to a process for producing water-blown, flexible polyurethane foams for improved foam stability and molded water-blown, flexible polyurethane foams that are rapidly demoldable with improved green strength. The process involves the use of certain compounds ("foam modifiers") as hereinafter more specifically defined. The foam modifiers consist of an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal ion and an anion of a Bronsted acid having a pKa of greater than 1 (other than: (a) an inorganic alkaline earth metal salt that has a water solubility of less than one gram of salt per 100 milliliters of water at 25.degree. C., (b) alkali metal dihydrogen phosphate and (c) alkali metal sulphate).
