Assignee:

Union Carbide Chemicals & Plastics Technology Corporation - Danbury CT

International Classification:

C08G 1800

US Classification:

521112

Abstract:

Silicone surfactants having a siloxane backbone and a mixture of high and low atomic mass oxyalkylene pendant groups, these polyether pendants having average atomic masses of 1500-6000 and 300-750 respectively. The surfactants of the invention operate in polyurethane foam compositions to provide stable foams over a range of surfactant concentrations while still producing product foams having relatively constant breathability. Also disclosed and claimed are polyurethane foam compositions which include the surfactants, a method of making polyurethane foam using the surfactants, and polyurethane foam made by the method.

International Classification:

C08G 7714

US Classification:

528 29

Abstract:

Novel siloxane-polyether polymers are provided containing cyclic siloxanes which are useful in silicone surfactants for foam polyurethane foam applications. The novel polymers are prepared by reacting a polyhydridosiloxane polymer with a cyclic polysiloxane containing a vinyl group and with an allyl started polyoxyalkylene polymer in the presence of a platinum catalyst. The resulting polymeric products are highly potent and impart flat breathability profiles to foams when used as surfactants in their preparation.

US Classification:

504116

Abstract:

The present invention teaches silicone polyether copolymers with a low degree of polymerization (3 to 4 Si units) provide control for foams generated by organosilicone based surfactants in water without the need for an additional antifoam component. The copolymer foam control agent is a compound of the formula (CH. sub. 3). sub. 3 SiO[SiO(CH. sub. 3). sub. 2 ]. sub. X [SiOCH. sub. 3 R. sup. 1 ]. sub. Y Si(CH. sub. 3). sub. 3 wherein X+Y=1 to 2, Y. gtoreq. 1, R. sup. 1 is an alkyleneoxide group of the formula C. sub. a H. sub. 2a O(C. sub. 3 H. sub. 6 O). sub. z R. sup. 2 wherein a=3 to 4, z is 1 to 15, R. sup. 2 is hydrogen, a hydrocarbon radical of 1 to 4 carbons or acetyl. This invention provides compositions for use in agricultural formulations that give improved foam control for foams generated from organosilicone surfactants in aqueous systems. The copolymer foam control agent is soluble in a surfactant matrix comprised of an organosilicone surfactant alone or in mixtures with short chain conventional surfactants.
