A water-resistant polyurethane geotextile composite suitable for use as a liner is made by impregnating a geotextile with a water-resistant polyurethane and allowing the polyurethane impregnated in the geotextile to cure. The water-resistant polyurethane composition is a reaction product of (a) a liquid polyisocyanate having an isocyanate content of at least 10% by weight, (b) an isocyanate-reactive component which includes (1) 20-90% by weight castor oil having a water content of less than 0.5% by weight, and (2) a polyether polyol in which at least 70% by weight of the alkylene oxide is propylene oxide, and (c) a urethane catalyst. Low molecular weight diols and triols and fillers may optionally be included.

The present invention relates to polyurethane encapsulated fertilizer particles which exhibit slow-release properties and to a process for their production. The process comprises applying an isocyanate-reactive component to fertilizer particles, to form fertilizer particles coated with an isocyanate-reactive component, applying a polyisocyanate component onto the coated fertilizer particles to form polyurethane encapsulated fertilizer particles, and, optionally, repeating these steps as many times as necessary to form the polyurethane encapsulated fertilizer particles that contain about 2 to 20% by weight of polyurethane, based on the total weight of the encapsulated fertilizer particles. Suitable isocyanate-reactive components include polyesterether polyols that comprise either a blend of or the reaction product of (i) castor oil having an OH number of about 160 to about 170, a viscosity of about 500 to about 900 mPa.s at 25&deg; C., and a water content of less than 0.5% by weight; and (ii) a polyether polyol having an OH number of from 28 to 700, a functionality of from 3 to 8, and a molecular weight of about 240 to about 6,000, and a viscosity of from about 50 to 35,000 mPa.s at 25&deg; C. The polyether polyol must be prepared from a suitable initiator compound and an alkylene oxide comprising at least 70% by weight of propylene oxide.

Polyurethane encapsulated fertilizer having improved slow-release properties

This invention relates to polyurethane encapsulated fertilizer particles which exhibit slow-release properties and to a process for their production. The process comprises (1) applying an isocyanate-reactive component or a polyisocyanate component to fertilizer particles, to form coated fertilizer particles, followed by (2) applying a polyisocyanate component or an isocyanate-reactive component onto the coated fertilizer particles to form polyurethane encapsulated fertilizer particles, and, optionally, repeating these steps as many times as necessary to form the polyurethane encapsulated fertilizer particles that contain about 2 to 20% by weight of polyurethane, based on the total weight of the encapsulated fertilizer particles. Alternatively, the isocyanate-reactive component and the polyisocyanate component can be premixed prior to being applied to the fertilizer particles to form polyurethane encapsulated fertilizer particles. Suitable isocyanate-reactive components comprise oleo polyols.

The present invention relates to a process for the production of one-shot polyurethane elastomers having low compression sets. This process comprises reacting a polymethylene poly(phenylisocyanate) having an average functionality of 2.2 to 2.8, and a polyol component that has an average functionality of 2.0 or less. The polyol component comprises at least one relatively high molecular weight isocyanate-reactive component, and at least one relatively low molecular weight isocyanate-reactive component, with the functionalities and quantities of each component being such that the above average functionality of 2.0 or less for the polyol component is satisfied. Polyurethane elastomers produced by the process of this invention are characterized by compression sets of less than 10%.
