Abstract: This invention relates to an urethane group containing polyisocyanurate foam produced from a polyisocyanate and a polyhydroxy compound, wherein the polyhydroxy compound is the reaction mixture of a hydroxyl group containing amine which is at least difunctional and is selected from the group consisting of a secondary amine, a tertiary amine, and a mixture thereof, and a naphthenic acid, or a mixture of said reaction mixture and a conventional polyol, the reaction conditions are a temperature between 0.degree. C. and 150.degree. C. and an amino equivalent to carboxylic equivalent of 0.3:1 to 50:1.

Abstract: Storage-stable, liquid carbodiimide-modified polyisocyanates are prepared by condensation of polyisocyanates in the presence of catalytic amounts of phospholine, phospholidine, phospholine oxides and/or phospholidine oxides, said condensation terminated and the products stabilized by means of perchloric acid or trifluoromethanesulfonic acid.

Abstract: Process for the manufacture of polyurethane adhesives with uniform molecular weights which are accurately adjustable and reproducible consisting of diisocyanates, polyols, chain extenders if required, catalysts and additives, all of which are soluble in polar, organic solvents which are inert with respect to isocyanate groups. The polyaddition process is carried out by using an excess of diisocyanate, the reaction is terminated upon reaching the desired molecular weight, and the still existing excess isocyanate groups are allowed to react with alcohols, ammonia and/or amines. The process is characterized in that the polyurethanepolyaddition products are crushed into particles of 1-15 mm and that they are treated with possibly substituted primary, aliphatic mono- to trivalent alcohols, ammonia and/or aliphatic, cycloaliphatic or aromatic mono- or diamines in the liquid or vapor phase in the absence of organic solvents.

Abstract: Storage-stable, liquid, only slightly colored polyisocyanates possessing carbodiimide groups and having an isocyanate content of from about 25 to 35% by weight, based on total weight; these products are obtained by condensing polyisocyanates in the presence of phospholines, phospholidines and/or their oxides, and stopping the condensation and stabilizing the condensation products with the Lewis acids, aromatic carboxylic acid halides, aromatic sulfonic acid esters and/or alkyl sulfates.

Abstract: A process for the manufacture of urethane group containing polyisocyanurate foams produced by mixing polyisocyanates and polyols and (if required) frothing agents, auxiliaries and additives in the presence of a co-catalyst system which consists of a 1,3,5-tris(N,N-dialkylaminoalkyl)-s-hexahydrotriazine and an organic mono- or polycarboxylic acid, a polyesterol with an acid number greater than 4 or a mono-ester of polycarboxylic acid.

Abstract: Polyurethane compositions -- which may or may not be foamed -- having improved mechanical properties are manufactured from organic polyisocyanates, polyhydroxy compounds and one or more at least partially crosslinked, particulate polymers of particle size from 500 to 5,000 A, of which polymer from 1 to 40% by weight are dispersed in the polyhydroxy compound.

Abstract: Self-extinguishing urethane group containing polyisocyanurate foams are prepared by reacting a polyisocyanate with a polyesterol obtained by condensing an aliphatic dicarboxylic acid with a mixture of an aliphatic diol and N,N'-bis-(ethanol-2)-diaminooctachlorodiphenyl.

Abstract: Stable, liquid, homogeneous solutions of isocyanurate-polyisocyanates containing amide and/or acylurea groups in monomeric diisocyanates and/or polyisocyanates which are free from amide, acylurea and/or isocyanurate groups, are obtained by reacting polybasic carboxylic acids with diisocyanates and/or polyisocyanates to give diisocyanates and/or polyisocyanates containing amide groups and/or acylurea groups, converting the diisocyanates and/or polyisocyanates containing amide and/or acylurea groups by trimerization and, optionally, polymerization, into isocyanurate-polyisocyanates containing amide and/or acylurea groups, and mixing the products with monomeric diisocyanates and/or polyisocyanates.
