International Classification:

C08J 914

US Classification:

521131, 521125, 521129, 521172

Abstract:

A thermosetting plastic foam solid formed from the reaction product of: (a) either polyisocyanate or isocyanate-based foam; (b) a polyol-based foam; (c) a catalyst which is capable of promoting the thermosetting reaction between the polyisocyanate or isocyanate-based foam and the polyol-based foam; and (d) a blowing agent which comprises a high purity cyclopentane product, wherein the high purity cyclopentane product is about 95% or greater pure cyclopentane, and, optionally, (e) water and/or (f) liquid flame retardant.

US Classification:

4283044, 4283144, 4283184, 4283186, 4283193, 4283197

Abstract:

A rigid closed cell polyisocyanate-based foams is created by reacting at least one organic polyisocyanate with compounds having at least two active hydrogen atoms in the presence of an n-pentane blowing agent. When the foam is formed into a laminated board with facers, the foam formulation includes a sufficient amount of a common blend of cleaning solvent chemicals to cause a noticeable improvement in facer adhesion. The chemicals used to improve facer adhesion are a standard blend of industrial cleaning solvents called “Di-Basic Esters” or DBE. The actual chemical compounds in one mode of this mixture are the methyl esters of about 59% glutaric acid, about 20% succinic acid, and about 21% adipic acid. The minimum rate of addition of the Di-Basic Esters”[DBE] thought to be effective may be less than about 0. 5 parts per hundred parts of polyol (pphpp).

US Classification:

521/131000

Abstract:

Rigid closed cell polyisocyanate-based insulation foams are created by reacting at least one organic polyisocyanate with compounds having at least two active hydrogen atoms in the presence of acetone used as an expansion, or blowing, agent. Various additives common to rigid closed-cell foam such as cell size controlling silicone surfactants are used to produce a thermal insulating rigid foam. Also, catalysts, flame retardant chemicals, and organic surfactants can be any of the ordinary products normally used by those experienced in the art of foam production. The utilization of acetone and water reduce the amount of hydrocarbon VOCs needed to obtain any given density thus reducing the volatile organic compounds released from the foam insulation. This benefit comes without detriment to the other important qualities needed in such a foam.

The currently preferred embodiments use add-on rates within the range of about 0.5 to about 5.0 pphpp, with the currently most preferred range being from about 1.0 to about 3.0 pphpp. The blend of cleaning chemicals employed by the present invention surprisingly enhance the adhesion between the foam and the facer.
