Patent number: 5244931Abstract: The invention relates to low density cellular, rigid polyurethanes which employ the dimethyl esters of adipic, glutaric and succinic acids and mixtures thereof in conjunction with nonylphenol as cell-opening agents. The use of this ester phenol mixture obviates the need of other surfactants, particularly silicone surfactants which reduce the adhesion of the urethanes to fabrics in pour-behind-fabric applications.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 1992Date of Patent: September 14, 1993Assignee: BASF CorporationInventor: Gregg S. Kuyzin

Patent number: 5236964Abstract: A method for preparing a reduced density MDI based polyurethane foam by reacting a polyol with an MDI composition using at least 4 parts by weight water based on 100 parts of polyol as the blowing agent and a catalyst composition consisting essentially of the addition product of triethylenediamine and a boron compound of the formulaR.sub.n B(OH).sub.3-nwheren=0 or 1, andR=C.sub.1 -C.sub.8 alkyl, C.sub.5 -C.sub.8 cycloalkyl or C.sub.6 -C.sub.10 aryl.Type: GrantFiled: December 4, 1992Date of Patent: August 17, 1993Assignee: Air Products and Chemicals, Inc.Inventors: Ann C. L. Savoca, Alan M. Franson

Patent number: 5234966Abstract: Polyimide foam of desired density is produced by adding to a polyimide precursor comprising carboxylic and diamine components at least one foam-enhancing polar, protic additive of the formula ROH, where R is hydrogen, or C.sub.1 to C.sub.12 linear or branched alkyl or cycloalkyl, unsubstituted or substituted with halo, aryl, alkoxy or hydroxy, and heating the resultant slurry to a temperature that does not exceed about 105.degree. C. to form a homogeneous melt. When heated to a higher temperature the melt foams and cures. The density of the foam is affected by the amount of foam-enhancing additive which is utilized.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 1992Date of Patent: August 10, 1993Assignee: Ethyl CorporationInventors: James R. Barringer, H. Eugene Broemmelsiek, Carroll W. Lanier, Raymond Lee

Patent number: 5234961Abstract: The present invention relates to water blown integral skin polyurethane foams. These foams are prepared using a diphenylmethane diisocyanate:polytetrahydrofuran prepolymer. The polyurethane foams prepared with this prepolymer exhibit improved abrasion resistance and cold flex characteristics when compared to water blown integral skin foams prepared without the prepolymer. These foams are suitable for use in shoe sole applications.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 1992Date of Patent: August 10, 1993Assignee: BASF CorporationInventor: Rick A. Tanis
