Abstract: A composition useful for the production of foam plastics from disposable pressurized containers is provided. The composition comprises at least one polyisocyanate or isocyanate prepolymer, at least one catalyst for the reaction of the isocyanate group with the OH group, at least one blowing agent and at least one foam stabilizer. One day at the latest after application from said disposable pressurized container, the residue of said composition left in the pressurized container has a diisocyanate monomer content of less than 5.0% by weight, based on the residual contents of the emptied container.

Abstract: Described is an NCO-group-containing polyurethane prepolymer madefrom polyisocanyates and polyols derived from natural oils. The invention is characterized in that the polyol is obtained by transesterification in the presence of basic lithium compounds. Together with a tertiary amine used to accelerate the moisture curing, the storage stability is thus increased considerably. Up to 4.0 mmol of the lithium compound is used per kilogram of polyol, and 0.1 to 2.0% by wt. of the amine, relative to the total weight of the composition, is used as the accelerator. The polyurethane prepolymer is suitable not only for the production of adhesives but also for the production of foamed materials, in particular those dispensed from throw-away pressure vessels.

Abstract: A composition for producing light plaster contains as main constitutive elements particles of plaster in anhydride or hemihydrate form and at least one foaming agent. The composition is characterized in that the foaming agent generates gas after a delay of 1 minute to 24 hours and constitutes 0.1 to 50% by weight of the total dry mixture. Also disclosed is the use of said composition to produce in-situ cellular plastic and low density plaster moldings.

Abstract: The invention relates to polyurethane compositions with a low content of monomeric diisocyanates. Trifunctional isocyanates optionally reduced in their functionality to 3.0.+-.0.7 with a monofunctional terminator are preferably used for this purpose. In this way, the compositions contain considerably smaller quantities of readily volatile isocyanates. The compositions are suitable for use as reactive hotmelt adhesives, lamination adhesives, adhesive/sealing compounds, primers and for the production of foam plastics from non-reusable pressurized containers (aerosol cans). The low content of volatile monomeric diisocyanates enables the need for safety measures in the workplace to be significantly reduced, in addition to which the disposal of residues remaining in the containers is made considerably easier.

Abstract: A polyurethane composition for the production of single-component polyurethane foams on dry or wet substrates, wherein the composition is the reaction product of a polyol with a molar excess of difunctional or polyfunctional isocyanates and wherein 10% to 80% by weight of the polyol has been replaced by a nonionic surfactant containing at least one hydroxyl group.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the production of plastics containing amide groups with elimination of CO.sub.2 by reaction of polyfunctional isocyanates, carboxylic acids and, optionally, alcohols in the presence of tertiary amines, more particularly heteroaromatic amines. The heteroaromatic amines preferably contain another heteroatom and/or substituents having +I and/or +M effects. The reaction preferably starts at room temperature. Fine-cell foams having an acid value of less than 40 and a density of at most 150 g/l can be produced in short reaction times at room temperature without any need for additional blowing agents.

Abstract: The invention relates to optionally solventless two-component polyurethane surfacers containing finely divided fillers in a high pigment volume concentration based on a polyfunctional isocyanate component (B) and a polyol component (A) which is liquid at room temperature and which consists of mixture components containing isocyanate-reactive hydroxyl groups with an at least predominant content of branched-chain polyols (A1) containing ester and ether groups, which contains at least a proportion of the finely divided fillers and, optionally, the additives and which, for application, is mixed with the isocyanate component (B) and applied as a mixture which can still be processed by shaping.

Abstract: Process for the preparation of ester polyols by conducting the ring opening of epoxidized esters and/or alcohols with carboxylic acids by the controlled addition of the epoxidized compounds to the carboxylic acids wherein the carboxylic acids are present in at least stoichiometric quantities based on epoxide groups, to minimize unreacted epoxide groups and produce ester polyols having relatively low viscosities compared to those produced by the one-pot prior art process.

Abstract: Process for the production of modified triglycerides which contain epoxide groups, secondary hydroxyl groups and ether groups. The invention particularly relates to the production of reaction products of epoxidized triglycerides, for example epoxidized soy oil, with polyfunctional alcohols, for example glycols.

Abstract: The invention relates to isocyanate-terminated polyurethane prepolymers containing a stoichiometric excess of an isocyanate component comprised of one or more aromatic isocyanates containing on average from 2 to 4 isocyanate groups per molecule and a polyol component comprised of an oleochemical polyol prepared by epoxidation of a triglyceride containing olefinic unsaturation and subsequent ring opening with an alcohol. In use, accelerators, flameproofing agents, blowing agents and, optionally, liquefying agents, dyes and/or stabilizers, are included. The oleochemical polyol does not contain any free epoxide groups and is obtained by complete ring opening of epoxidized triglycerides of a fatty acid mixture containing at least partly olefinically unsaturated fatty acids with one or more C.sub.1 -C.sub.12 alcohols and partial conversion by alcoholysis or transesterification of the triglyceride derivatives to alkyl ester polyols containing from 1 to 12 carbon atoms in the alkyl radical.
