Abstract: High resiliency polyurethane foams are typically prepared by reaction of polyols blends comprising conventional and polymer containing polyols with aromatic polyisocyanates. Improved physical properties such as tensile strength, tear strength, and elongation of these foams can be achieved by incorporating 0.5 to 3.0 parts 2,3-dibromopropanol into the foam formulation.
Abstract: Molded flexible polyurethane foam is prepared by reacting a polyol with a urea-biuret modified polyisocyanate mixture which is composed of toluene diisocyanate and polymeric diphenylmethane diisocyanate.

Abstract: The invention relates to a thermoplastic molding material of an elastomeric polymer A, a shell B grafted to the polymer A, and a copolymer C as rigid matrix. The amount of polymer A is 1 to 25 percent by weight based on the weight of A+B+C. It has a glass transition temperature, Tg, of less than 0.degree. C. and an average particle size of 200 to 750 nanometers (d.sub.50 value of the integral mass distribution) and is composed of: 50 to 99.9 percent by weight of at least one alkylacrylate with 1 to 8 carbon atoms in the alkyl radical and 0.1 to 5 percent by weight of a polyfunctional monomer which has a crosslinking action. Grafting shell B represents 5 to 40 percent by weight based on A+B+C and is composed of at least one of the monomers of the group of(b.sub.1) vinylaromatic monomers, and(b.sub.2) the ethylenically unsaturated monomers.Grafting shell B is prepared in two stages with 30 to 70 percent by weight of the monomers b.sub.

Abstract: The invention relates to integral skin rigid polyurethane structural foam having high impact strength, high heat distortion and flame retardant properties. This foam is prepared from a polyol selected from the group consisting of polyoxyalkylene polyether polyol, a polyester polyol or mixture thereof, an organic polyisocyanate, a chain extender and blowing agent.
Abstract: Inclusion of minor amounts of predominately amorphous silica microfibers into thermosetting matrix resins allow manufacture of prepregs which produce toughened composites resistant to impact damage without the loss of modulus normally associated with toughened resin systems.

Abstract: Flame resistant foams and other compositions containing polyurethane and/or polyisocyanurate groups are prepared by reacting an organic polyisocyanate with a polyol in the presence of flame retardants, catalysts, blowing agents as well as optionally chain extenders, cross-linkers auxiliaries and additives. The flame retardents comprise a phenol or melamine formaldehyde condensate, pentaerythritol as well as ammonium phosphate and preferably in addition dicyandiamide.
Abstract: Polyoxyalkylene block polyether polyols having enhanced physical properties are prepared by catalyzing the ethylene oxide addition with cesium hydroxide or mixtures of cesium hydroxide with other basic catalysts. These polyethers are especially useful in surface active applications.
Abstract: The subject matter of this invention relates to a process for removing the soluble metal cations contained in iron oxide pigments comprising washing said iron oxide pigments with a ligand compound having a pH greater than 6.0. The pigments can be used as colorants for substances ingested by man and animals, and they can also be used to stabilize plastics against ultraviolet degradation, and as pigments in base-coat clear-coat automotive finishing operations.
Abstract: Bismaleimides having the general formula ##STR1## in which n is a whole number between 5 and 70 and --X-- is --O-- or --NH-- are prepared through the reaction of the corresponding amino-terminated polyoxybutylenes with 2 moles of maleic anhydride. They are suited as toughening agents in high grade reactive resins.

Abstract: A continuous process for the preparation of fiber composite materials by impregnating fiber reinforcing material with a solution of a thermoplastic or thermosetting plastic precursor, followed by evaporating the solvent used by means of exposure to light having a wave length corresponding to the absorption maximum of the solvent.
Abstract: The use of organophosphines, organophosphonium salts or organophosphine complexes as cure catalysts in the cure of maleimide resin systems produces products having excellent physical properties and improved gel times. These systems are especially useful in the production of advanced structural composites.
Abstract: A process for the preparation of aliphatic, cycloaliphatic, arylaliphatic and aliphatic-cycloaliphatic di- and polyurethanes wherein primary aliphatic, cycloaliphatic, arylaliphatic or aliphatic-cycloaliphatic di- or polyamines are reacted with urea and a primary or secondary aliphatic alcohol at temperatures of above 190.degree.

Abstract: A phthalic anhydride product having a particle configuration made up of a mixture of spheroids, needle-like crystals, and amorphous particles is produced by feeding molten phthalic anhydride at a temperature between 131.degree. and 155.degree. into a spray nozzle in a closed cycle congealing chamber. The molten phthalic anhydride is discharged from the spray nozzle into a co-current or counter-current flow of inert gas at a temperature between -10.degree. and 70.degree. C., in order to congeal the product, which is then removed and transferred to a hopper or other storage means. For nozzle orifices having a diameter from 1 to 4 mm, discharge pressures of between 10 and 300 pounds per square inch are employed.
