Abstract:
Novel aromatic diamines having the general formula
WHEREIN N IS AN INTEGER OF FROM 2 TO 8, X is sulfur or oxygen, and R is an n-valent hydrocarbon radical which may be interrupted by O or S atoms and which is obtained by removing OH or SH groups from a polyol or polythiol having a molecular weight of less than 600, are prepared by reacting a compound having the formula (HX)nR where X, n and R are as defined above with about nequivalents of an isatoic acid anhydride in the presence of a strong base. The aromatic diamines of the invention are particularly useful as the active hydrogen containing component for reaction with polyisocyanates in the preparation of synthetic resins by the isocyanate-polyaddition process.
Abstract:
Organic isocyanates are stabilized against decomposition, which results in precipitate formation and discoloration, by the addition of a small amount of an organic isocyanate compound, preferably an oxycarbonyl isocyanate containing at least one -OCO-NCO group in the molecule. Polyurethane elastomers prepared from isocyanates stabilized in this manner also exhibit a very high resistance to hydrolysis.
Abstract:
Polyesters which contain hydroxyl and carbonamide groups are prepared by copolymerizing a lactone with a lactam in the presence of a low molecular weight initiator which contains at least two active hydrogen atoms at a temperature of from about 50* C. to about 300* C. These polyesters are particularly useful as plasticizers and stabilizers for polyvinyl chloride.
Abstract:
A PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF POLYURETHANES, WHICH MAY OR MAY NOT BE CROSS-LINKED, FROM HIGHER MOLECULAR WEIGHT, LINEAR DIHYDROXY COMPOUNDS, DIISOCYANATES AND LOW MOLECULAR WEIGHT CHAIN LENGTHENING AGENTS WHICH CONTAIN AT LEAST TOW HYDROGEN ATOMS THAT ARE REACTIVE WITH ISOCYANATES, CHARACTERIZED IN THAT THE HIGHER MOLECULAR WEIGHT DIHYDROXY COMPOUNDS USED ARE REACTION PRODUCTS OF $-CAPROLACTONE AND/OR $-HYDROXYCAPROIC ACID, HEXANE-1,6-DIOL AND DIARYL CARBONATES.
Abstract:
The invention relates to the use of 2,4-dioxo-1,2-dihydro-4Hbenzoxazine as well as derivatives therefrom as blowing agents for the production of cellular and porous articles. These compounds do not liberate any corrosive, discolorizing, malodorous or toxic decomposition products.
