  • Patent number: 4486370
    Abstract: The addition of a small amount of a halogen compound, e.g. chloroethyl phosphate, in a process producing elastomeric polyurethane RIM parts using tertiary amines as the chief catalyst component results in scavenging the residual amines after the part has been cured by annealing. The parts from such a process can be coated with a wide variety of enamels having a high solids content and completely cured to result in a higher degree of adhesive between the coating and the part's surface than those parts from a process without the use of such a halogen.

  • Patent number: 4232152
    Abstract: Amine salts of tertiary amino acids have been found to be effective as catalysts for polyurethane synthesis and they have been found to exhibit delayed action, in many instances, in the polymerization of urethanes. Typically, the amine salts of tertiary amino acids are formed by initially reacting a primary or secondary amine with an aldehyde and disubstituted acid to form a Mannich adduct and then reacting the resulting Mannich acid adduct with an amine.

  • Patent number: 4165412
    Abstract: Novel salts of tertiary amines and alpha-substituted carboxylic acids have advantages as delayed action thermally activated catalyts such as in urethane and epoxy catalysis. Some salts of tertiary amines tend to dissociate reversibly when heated. However, the compounds of the present invention preferentially decompose, irreversibly, to generate carbon dioxide when heated.
