    Abstract: The present invention relates to polyisocyanates having various functional groups and a preparing method thereof. More particularly, the present invention is to prepare polyisocyantes by living anion polymerization under suitable temperature and pressure enough to protect metal ions to prevent from the formation of trimer of the isocyanate through depolymerization and thus provide polyisocyanates having alkyl, silyl, siloxane and carbamate groups with desirable molecular weight, molecular weight distribution and improved physical properties.

  • Patent number: 6448362
    Abstract: The invention is a high molecular weight polyether polyol prepared by the reaction of one or more compounds having one or more active hydrogen compounds with one or more alkylene oxides in the presence of a catalyst comprising calcium having counterions of carbonate and a C6-10 alkanoate in a solvent or dispersant which does not contain active hydrogen atoms. The polyether polyol prepared preferably has an equivalent weight of from about 1000 to about 20,000, a polydispersity of 1.3 or less and a residual catalyst level of from about 0 to about 2000 parts per million (ppm). In another embodiment the invention is a process for preparing such high molecular weight polyether polyols. The process comprises first, contacting one or more compounds having one or more active hydrogen atoms with one or more alkylene oxides in the presence of a catalyst. The catalyst comprises calcium having counterions of carbonate and a C6-10 alkanoate in a solvent, wherein the solvent does not contain active hydrogen atoms.

  • Publication number: 20020120061
    Abstract: A process for preparing alkali silicate-polyisocyanate composites without catalyst separation. The process involves blending a catalyst and a polyisocyanate to form a first component, and blending an alkali silicate and water to form a second component. The first and second components are then mixed together to form a reactive mixture that reacts to form a hardened composite. The progression of the reaction proceeds without excessive foaming, high exotherms, or the release of an offensive odor. Sodium silicate-polyisocyanate composites prepared according to the above process, and a process for using the alkali silicate-polyisocyanate composites to consolidate and seal various types of formations in mining, tunneling, and other construction projects are also disclosed. Any void volume which is capable of receiving a flowable precursor of a composite formulation according to the invention prior to its cure is suitable for treatment according to the present invention.

  • Patent number: 6403216
    Abstract: A synthetic fiber which is excellent in moisture-absorbing/releasing property and exhibits high elongation and high stretch recovery, characterized in that it has moisture absorption ratios of 0.5 to 4.0% by weight in environments of 20° C.×65% RH and that of 4.5% by weight or more in environments of 30° C.×90% RH, respectively, and also has a difference between the absorption ratios in both the environments of 4.0% by weight or more. The representative examples of such fibers include polyurethane synthetic fiber and polyether synthetic fiber. The synthetic fiber maintains a high strength at break of an elastic fiber component thereof also in the state of having absorbed moisture, is excellent in color fastness to rubbing, and can be used for manufacturing a stretch fiber fabric product excellent in comfort through blending with another fiber material.

  • Patent number: 6399698
    Abstract: An isocyanate prepolymer for application in polyurethanes. The prepolymer is synthesized by combining epoxidized natural oils with isocyanates and a catalyst. The prepolymer contains oxazolidone rings that will react with polyols to form polyurethane. The invention provides a method of using a renewable resource in a fast, simple process to produce substantial amounts of isocyanate prepolymer and a minimum of homopolymers.

  • Patent number: 6395861
    Abstract: A fast-curing polyurethane coating system for a game ball is described herein. The coating system comprises a mixture of a polyol, an isocyanate, a solvent and a surprisingly high level of catalyst which accelerates the curing process. The coating is a two-part polyurethane system which is preferably applied by spraying. The coating is particularly well-suited for use on golf balls, and also can be applied to other game balls such as softballs, baseballs, and cricket balls.

  • Patent number: 6051647
    Abstract: Mild acid treatment of potassium 3A zeolite molecular sieve to modify the pH of the surface of the molecular sieve to a pH ranging between 9.6 and 11 was found to significantly minimize the effect of the potassium 3A zeolite on the pot life when used as a drying agent for non-foamed polyurethanes. Increases in pot life in non-foamed polyurethane preparations over similar preparations with untreated potassium 3A zeolite molecular sieve were dramatic (about 400%) with less than 5% reduction in water adsorption capacity.
