Patent number: 9925753Abstract: The present invention provides a self-collapsing, moisture curable one component polyurethane foam (1K PU) composition from moisture curable polyurethane prepolymers and to methods of making weather resistant barriers and formed in place gaskets therefrom. The foam compositions are packed under pressure with a blowing agent. In the methods, the foams are applied to gaps in the exterior (sheathing) of a building under construction and collapse on cure to enable application an aqueous weather barrier coating thereover within an hour. The foams also cure when applied on or adjacent a structure to form a foam gasket that enables installation of additional structural elements over or adjacent the foam gasket without bowing or damage to the structure treated.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 2014Date of Patent: March 27, 2018Assignees: Rohm and Haas Company, Dow Global Technology LLCInventors: Michael D.

Patent number: 9279040Abstract: Polymer foam is made from a two-component foam system. The foam system includes an A-side component which contains a multifunctional Michael acceptor and a blowing agent that has a boiling temperature in the range ?40° C. to +100° C. The system also includes a B-side component that contains a multifunctional carbon-Michael donor, a surfactant and a blowing agent that has a boiling temperature in the range ?40° C. to +100° C. The viscosities of each of the components are 2,500 cPs or lower. Foam is made by separately pressurizing the components, then separately depressurizing them so they each at least partially expand. The partially expanded materials are then combined in the presence of a carbon-Michael reaction catalyst to form a reaction mixture which is cured to form the polymer foam.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2012Date of Patent: March 8, 2016Assignee: Dow Global Technologies LLCInventors: Xin Jin, Steven P. Crain, Deborah A. Schutter, Kshitish A. Patankar, Mark F. Sonnenschein

Patent number: 9150764Abstract: Single component compositions for making a moisture-cured polyurethane foam are disclosed. Foam produced from the compositions of the present invention produce very low foaming pressure due to their 60-95 percent open-cell content. After these compositions are applied and cure, they form a permanent seal around the perimeter of installed fenestration products.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2006Date of Patent: October 6, 2015Assignee: Dow Global Technologies LLCInventors: Robert G. Braun, Jess M. Garcia, Deborah A. Schutter

Publication number: 20010054474Abstract: A method for filling cracks in concrete surfaces using a one-component, hydrophilic polyurethane prepolymer without the addition of any granular impregnating agents is disclosed. The prepolymer is provided in a hand-held aerosol container and is injected into the cracks through hollow injection ports that are adhered in place on the surfaces over the cracks and subsequently closed off when filled. The crack is filled from the bottom up to prevent the formation of air pockets in the crack.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 20, 2001Publication date: December 27, 2001Inventors: Robert Braun, Diana Dobrez-Florez, Jess Garcia, Deborah Schutter

Patent number: 6013691Abstract: The present invention discloses a foam frothing alternative for blowing or frothing single component foams using gases which are incapable of being liquified within the limits of DOT aerosol cans, referred to herein as non-liquefiable gases. In this invention, it is demonstrated that non-liquefiable gases such as CO.sub.2 and N.sub.2 O can be used to provide foams using conventional single component foam chemical raw materials. The present invention provides an adhesive/sealant, expanded by a non-liquefiable gas propelled from a container initially and expanded by a blowing agent consisting primarily or exclusively of a non-liquefiable gas and formulated from a moisture curable polyurethane prepolymer using a low molecular weight isocyanate of two or more functionality. In one or more variations, the compositions of the present invention contain solubility enhancers for non-liquefiable gases such as CO.sub.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 1996Date of Patent: January 11, 2000Assignee: Insta-Foam Products, Inc.Inventors: Robert Braun, Jess Garcia, Dawn Kissack, Gina Pietrzyk, Deborah Schutter
