  • Patent number: 6569352
    Abstract: Disclosed are polyester-ether polyols and their use in urethane prepolymers, urethane foams and non-foam urethane coatings, adhesives, sealants and/or elastomers. Methods for producing such polyester-ether polyols are disclosed, along with methods for producing urethane prepolymers. The polyester-ether polyols of the instant invention are preferably the reaction product of phthalic anhydride, diethylene glycol, and propylene oxide. These polyester-ether polyols are useful as either the primary polyol in urethane compositions or in combination with conventional auxiliary polyester- and/or polyether-based polyols. The polyester-ether polyols impart greatly improved solubility and compatibility to mixtures of either polyether and/or polyester polyols. The polyester-ether polyols of the instant invention are desirably of lower viscosity than their precursor intermediate polyester polyols and are generally soluble in either polyester- and/or polyether-based polyols.

  • Patent number: 4943649
    Abstract: Alkoxylated polyols are prepared by dispersing a nitrogen-containing material, such as urea, into a dispersing media comprised of a polyether or polyester polyol and a chemical moiety capable of being alkoxylated, such as a carbohydrate, i.e. whey permeate or sucrose, lactose, etc., and reacting the resultant dispersion with a C.sub.2 -C.sub.6 epoxide to form an alkoxylated polyol having a hydroxyl number below about 600. In certain embodiments, up to about 25% by weight of a urea material can be incorporated within the alkoxylated polyol for improved flame retardancy in the polyurethane/polyisocyanate/polyisocyanurate foams produced therefrom.
