Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the in situ production of dispersions or solutions of urea group-containing aromatic isocyanates by the low temperature reaction of aromatic diisocyanates and/or polyisocyanates (the NCO groups of which preferably exhibit different reactivities) with from 0.15 to 0.4 mols of water per NCO equivalent in relatively high molecular weight polyols and in the presence of catalysts accelerating the NCO/water reaction. Such catalysts are preferably selected from peralkylaminoalkyl ethers, peralkylamino-polyalkylene ethers and/or peralkyl-polyalkylene-polyamines. The present invention also relates to the resulting metastable solutions or dispersions and to the use thereof, optionally with the further addition of relatively high and low molecular weight compounds having hydroxyl, amino or hydrazide groups and with the optional addition of other polyisocyanates in polyurethane-forming ratios for the production of polyurethanes.

Abstract: The invention provides a process for the production of polyetherester polyols which have hydroxyester groups terminally bound via ester groups to high molecular weight polyether polyol segments. These are produced by first reacting high molecular weight polyoxyalkylene ether polyols with molecular weights of from about 400 to 10,000 with an excess of dicarboxylic acids, dicarboxylic acid anhydrides or dicarboxylic acid esters, and then reacting the intermediate product in a further stage with an excess of diols, based on carboxyl groups.The new, high molecular weight polyetherester polyols thus consist of polyoxyalkylene ether segments, which have terminal ester segments in each case with terminal hydroxyl groups per end group.Moreover, the use is claimed of the high molecular weight polyetherester polyols as polyhydroxyl compounds for forming polyurethanes.

Abstract: Polyaddition products containing urethane groups are produced by reacting an isocyanate group containing distillation residue with a compound having a molecular weight less than 600 containing at least two alcoholic hydroxyl groups. The distillation residue is obtained in the commercial production of tolylene diisocyanate.

The polyaddition reaction is carried out at a temperature in the range of 50.degree. to 220.degree. C. The reaction is carried out in a reaction screw extruder preferably having self-cleaning screw geometry. The polyaddition products are useful as molding compositions, reactive fillers and starting materials in the production of flame-resistant polyurethane plastics.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of thermosetting polyurethane urea reactive adhesive compositions which are stable at ambient temperature but rapidly set at higher temperatures, wherein the adhesive comprises stabilized finely-divided polyisocyanates of retarded reactivity of which 0.1 to 25% of the NCO-groups are surface-modified and higher and/or lower molecular polyamines (optionally with polyols as additional reactive components). An important feature of these thermosetting reactive adhesive compositions is their capacity for storage at ambient temperature and their spontaneous increase in viscosity at relatively low heating temperatures which prevents the adhesive from running off during the heating period when applied to vertical surfaces.
