Abstract: The present invention relates to a bulk material comprising solid diisocyanate, especially naphthalene 1,5-diisocyanate or p-phenylene diisocyanate, to a process for production thereof, and to a process for preparing isocyanate prepolymers using the bulk material of the invention, to the isocyanate prepolymers themselves and to the use thereof for preparation of polyurethane elastomers, especially cast polyurethane elastomers.

Abstract: The present invention relates to isocyanate-terminated prepolymers based on polyoxymethylene-polyoxyalkylene block copolymers, to a process for their preparation, and to the use of these isocyanate-terminated prepolymers as isocyanate components in 1- and 2-component systems for coatings, adhesives and sealants.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel solvent-free, blocked isocyanate prepolymers curing at room temperature, and to a method for the production thereof. Furthermore, the present invention relates to the use of said blocked isocyanate prepolymers for producing solvent-free reactive systems and to their use for producing adhesives, sealing compounds, casting compounds, molded parts or coatings, which are curing at room temperature.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for recovering a diisocyanate that is solid at room temperature from a distillation residue originating from a production process of the diisocyanate, comprising the following steps: (i) mixing the distillation residue with at least one polyisocyanate on the basis of one or more diisocyanates different from the diisocyanate that is solid at room temperature, in such a way that a mixture is obtained that contains 70 to 90 wt. % of the distillation residue and 10 to 30 wt. % of the at least one polyisocyanate, each relative to the mixture, (ii) subjecting the mixture to distillation in a thin-film evaporator and/or a downflow evaporator, thereby obtaining a sump discharge and a gaseous product stream, and (iii) condensing the gaseous product stream and obtaining a solid containing the diisocyanate that is solid at room temperature, the at least one polyisocyanate in step (i) having a residual monomer content of ?3.0 wt.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for recovering a diisocyanate which is solid at room temperature from a distillation residue from a process for producing the diisocyanate, comprising the following steps: (i) mixing the distillation residue with a bitumen such that a mixture is obtained which contains 70 to 90 wt % of the distillation residue and 10 to 30 wt % of the bitumen, each in relation to the mixture, (ii) distilling the mixture in a thin-film evaporator or a falling film evaporator to obtain a sump discharge and a gaseous product stream, (iii) condensing the gaseous product stream and obtaining a solid containing the diisocyanate which is solid at room temperature. The invention further relates to the use of a thin-film evaporator or falling film evaporator, to a composition containing the diisocyanate which is solid at room temperature, and to a method for producing an elastomer from this composition and to the elastomer itself.
