  • Patent number: 11919994
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing soft polyurethane foam obtained by reacting a composition containing a component A1 containing at least one filled polyol, a component A2 containing compounds reactive with isocyanates and having a hydroxyl value of ?20 to <100 mg KOH/g, the component A2 not containing any filled polyol, a component A3 containing water and/or at least one physical blowing agent, a component A4 containing auxiliary agents and additives, and a component B containing di- and/or polyisocyanates, characterized in that the reaction occurs in the presence of 0.5 to 3 parts by weight of an organic urea derivative as component C, which is obtained by reacting urea with a difunctional amine having a number-average molecular weight of 200 to 1000 g/mol. The invention also relates to a soft polyurethane foam obtainable by the method.

  • Publication number: 20240018097
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for preparing a polyisocyanate, namely an isocyanate group-terminated polyol polyanthranilic acid ester. The process comprises the step of reacting an anthranilic acid derivative selected from anthranilic acid halide (in particular anthranilic acid chloride), isatoic anhydride or a mixture thereof with a first polyol of a number-average molar mass of at least 200 g/mol and a functionality in the range of 2 to 8, and obtaining, as a result, a polyamine (namely a polyol polyanthranilic acid ester with amine terminal groups) and reacting the polyamine with phosgene and obtaining, as a result, a polyisocyanate (namely an isocyanate group-terminated polyol polyanthranilic acid ester). The invention further relates to the polyisocyanates obtained in this way, their use in polyaddition reactions, and polyaddition products obtainable by these reactions.
