  • Patent number: 6703471
    Abstract: Low-odor, storage-stable monomer-containing polyisocyanurate is prepared from isophorone diisocyanate by conducting a partial trimerization for 3 minutes to 3 hours in the presence of 0.05-2% by weight of a catalyst, based on the weight of the diisocyanate, the catalyst having the formula [R—NX3]m⊕mY⊖ wherein Y⊖ is a carboxylic acid anion of 4-8 carbons, R is a &bgr;-hydroxyalkyl group of 2-6 carbons, X is an alkylene group of 2-3 carbons and m is a number from 1.0 to 2.0. The three radicals X form a ring with the quaternary nitrogen by way of a common nitrogen atom, which may be partly &bgr;-hydroxyalkylated, said ring optionally having an OH group positioned &agr;, &bgr; or &ggr; to the nitrogen. The reaction proceeds at a temperature of 0-160° C.

  • Patent number: 6548696
    Abstract: A low monomer 1:1-monoadduct from a diisocyanate and a hydroxy(meth)acrylate with a free diisocyanate content of less than 0.7% by weight and a free NCO content of 10.4-16.4% by weight can be used as a starting material for an acrylic or NCO functionalized crosslinker; a bonding agent for coatings and adhesives; and a linker for solid-phase synthesis of oligo-nucleotides, polynucleotides or peptides. The monoadduct is obtained by converting 5-20 mol diisocyanate with 1 mol hydroxy(meth)acrylate at a temperature of 40-120° C. in the presence of at least one inhibitor; subsequently separating a non-converted diisocyanate from a reaction product by short-path distillation at 80-220° C./0.1-10 mbar; feeding air, nitrogen monoxide or oxygen or a mixture containing (a) air, oxygen or nitrogen monoxide and (b) a proportion of 1-90% by volume of carbon dioxide, nitrogen, an inert gas or a mixture thereof through a reaction apparatus.
