  • Publication number: 20220204691
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for producing a polyoxyalkylene polyol, comprising depositing an alkylene oxide onto an H-functional starter substance in the presence of a double metal cyanide (DMC) catalyst, wherein the alkylene oxide is dosed at the mass flow rate m(alkylene oxide), the H-functional starter substance is dosed at the mass flow rate m(starter substance), and the double metal cyanide (DMC) catalyst is dosed in a dispersant at the mass flow rate m(DMC) continuously into the reactor with the reaction volume V during the reaction, and the resulting reaction mixture is continuously removed from the reactor, and wherein the quotient of the sum of the mass flow rates ?{dot over (m)} of {dot over (m)}(alkylene oxide), {dot over (m)}(starter substance) and {dot over (m)}(DMC) to give the reaction volume V in the steady state is greater than or equal to 1200 g/(h·L).

  • Patent number: 9006499
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for preparing polyether polyols by base-catalyzed addition of alkylene oxides (epoxides) onto starter compounds which are solid at room temperature and have Zerevitinov-active hydrogen atoms, a particular feature of which is that visually clear and/or homogeneous products are obtained even in the absence of solvents.

  • Patent number: 8865945
    Abstract: The present invention provides polyols which can be obtained by a simple process. These polyols, unless explicitly specified, are to be understood to encompass both polyether polyols and polyether ester polyols. The invention further provides the simple process for the production of the polyols, and also, the production of polyurethanes comprising reacting a polyol according to the invention with a polyisocyanate.

  • Patent number: 8501904
    Abstract: A process for the preparation of a polyol which includes reacting an amino-group-containing starter compound with an alkylene oxide in the presence of a catalyst to form a polyol, wherein the catalyst is based on a compound selected from the group consisting of alkali metal hydroxides, alkali, alkaline earth metal hydrides, alkaline earth metal carboxylates, and alkaline earth hydroxides, and wherein the catalyst is present in an amount of from 0.004 to 0.1 wt. % based on the amount of polyol; and neutralizing the polyol with from 0.75 to 1 mol of sulfuric acid per mol of catalyst used.
