US Patent:

44017723, Aug 30, 1983

Filed:

Apr 15, 1982

Appl. No.:

6/368614

Inventors:

Stephen Fuzesi - Hamden CT
John G. Bayusik - Wallingford CT

Assignee:

Olin Corporation - New Haven CT

International Classification:

C08G 1814
C08G 1850

US Classification:

521167

Abstract:

A polyurethane foam which is a reaction product of a polyol reactant, an organic polyisocyanate reactant, a reaction catalyst and a foaming agent, said polyol reactant is made by (1) reacting starch with methanol in the presence of an acid catalyst to form a crude methyl glucoside reaction product; (2) then admixing this reaction product with an amine in the presence of a basic catalyst followed by (3) oxyalkylating this mixture with a lower alkylene oxide.

International Classification:

C07H 1504
C08B 3110
C07H 1508

US Classification:

536 18

Abstract:

A novel process for the preparation of starch-amine-based polyols which involves reacting starch with a polyhydric alcohol in the presence of an acid catalyst to form a crude polyglucoside reaction product, the proportion of alcohol to starch being at least 0. 3 mole of alcohol per glucose unit weight of starch. An amine compound is admixed with the reaction product, and the mixture is then oxyalkylated with a lower alkylene oxide. Polyurethane foams may be prepared by reacting the resulting polyether polyols with an organic polyisocyanate in the presence of a foaming agent and a reaction catalyst. The physical properties of the resulting foams are excellent.

Assignee:

Olin Corporation - Cheshire CT

International Classification:

C11D 106
C11D 108
C11D 129
C11D 304

US Classification:

252156

Abstract:

Described are anionic surfactants which are made by (1) reacting maleic acid, fumaric acid, or mixtures thereof with at least one selected poly(oxyalkylated) alcohol in the presence of a peroxy-type free radical initiator to form a carboxylic acid group-containing addition product and (2) sulfating said addition product with a sufficient amount of a sulfating agent (i. e. sulfamic acid) to convert at least a major proportion of the terminal hydroxyl groups to sulfate groups. These surfactants exhibit excellent surface activity as well as being highly soluble in caustic solutions.
