  • Polyfunctional Polyglycerine Initiated Polyether Polyols and High Resilience Polyurethane Slabstock Therefrom
    Publication number: 20160185894
    Abstract: A polyglycerine initiated polyether polyol exhibiting a final functionality less than the nominal functionalities of the polyol initiator wherein the initiator is a polyglycerine formed by the polymerization of glycerin having an HEW less than about 35 and exhibiting a nominal functionality between 2 and 16 is provided. Also provided is a process for producing a polyfunctional polyurethane by the reaction of a mixture containing a polyol based on polyglycerine initiator wherein between 5 wt % and 100 wt % of the total initiator is polyglycerine having a nominal functionality between 2 and 16, at least one organic isocyanate, an amine and/or a metal salt catalyst, and optionally a blowing agent. Also provided is a flexible polyurethane foam comprising a reaction product of a polyglycerine or formed by the glycidol polymerization of glycerin, at least one organic isocyanate, and an amine catalyst.
