A foam-forming composition for producing a rigid polyurethane foam including: (a) at least one isocyanate component; and (b) at least one isocyanate-reactive composition including: (bi) a rigid polyol compound; and (bii) a flexible polyol compound; (c) a catalyst package including at least one latent gelling catalyst; and (d) at least one blowing agent.

Polyurethane rigid foam

The present disclosure provides for a metal chelated polyol liquid and/or a metal chelated polyether polyol liquid that can be used in an isocyanate-reactive composition and a reaction mixture for forming a polyurethane polymer. The metal chelated polyester polyol liquid is a reaction product of a chelating polyester polyol having a chelating moiety and a metal compound having a metal ion. The metal chelated polyether polyol liquid is a reaction product of a chelating polyether polyol having a chelating moiety and a metal compound having a metal ion. The chelating moiety of the chelating polyester polyol or the chelating polyether polyol chelates the metal ion to form the metal chelated polyester polyol liquid or the metal chelated polyether polyol liquid, respectively, having a mole ratio of the metal ion to the chelating moiety of 0.05:1 to 2:1.

Metal polyols for use in a polyurethane polymer

A thermoset foam comprises from 0.2 to 4.0 wt. % of at least one aliphatic brominated polyether polyol, from 2.0 to 7.0 wt. % of at least one aromatic brominated polyester polyol, and from 2.0 to 7.5 wt. % of at least one flame retardant comprising organo-phosphate, organo-phosphonate, or organo-phosphite, wherein the ratio of the amount of aliphatic bromine expressed as a percentage of total bromine to the amount of aromatic bromine expressed as a percentage of total bromine is from 10:90 to 50:50.

Flame-retardant polyurethane foam

An article contains a polymeric foam board having a primary surface and an intumescent coating on a primary surface of the polymeric foam board, the intumescent coating containing a polymeric binder, expandable graphite particles, a phosphorous material and a boron-containing compound and wherein the article is free of an object that is in contact with the intumescent coating and that sandwiches the intumescent coating between it and the polymeric foam board and wherein the intumescent coating has a tensile elongation of at least 50 percent and less than 100 percent at 23 degrees Celsius as measured according to ISO 37, has a storage modulus of less than 1&#xd7;10Pascals at 250 degrees Celsius, is halogen-free, free of sodium silicate, free of polyurea elastomer, and free of formals of pentaerythritol and dipentaerythritol.

Polymeric foam board with flexible water resistant intumescent coating

An intumescent coating system contains: a polyol component; an isocyanate component; a latent crosslinker having two or more &#x2014;NACHOR groups, where A is selected from a group consisting of H and &#x2014;CHOR, and in each case R is independently selected from a group consisting of hydrocarbons having from one to four carbons, the latent crosslinker being present at a concentration of 30 weight-percent or more based on polyol weight; a boron component one weight-percent or more and 10 weight-percent or less based on total weight of the formulation; and expandable graphite at a concentration of 10 weight-percent or more and 50 weight-percent or less based on the total intumescent system weight; where the polyol and isocyanate are selected so that the reaction product at room temperature of the intumescent coating system components produces a coating having a tensile elongation of 40-percent or more as determined according to ISO 37.

Intumescent coating system

A fire retardant article has a wood-based material with a polyisocyanurate foam article attached thereto, where the polyisocyanurate foam article covers 90% or more of the exposed portion of the wood-based material, has a thickness greater than 1.8 centimeters, a foam core having a density of 28-128 kg/m, a trimer concentration characterized by at least one of (i) a trimer level in a range of 12-25 weight-percent and (ii) a molar ratio of trimer to sum of urethane and urea in a range of 1-8, a phosphorous concentration of at least 0.3 wt %, a combined concentration of phosphorous and bromine of at least 0.5 wt %, and a vapor permeable and non-combustible facer on at least one primary surface of the foam core.

Wood-based material insulated for combustion resistance

Crosslinkable interpolymer blends comprising ethylene monomer residues, residues of comonomers having carboxylic acid and/or carboxylic acid anhydride functionality, and residues of comonomers having epoxide functionality, a peroxide initiator, and optionally a crosslinking catalyst, which, in embodiments, cure to a gel content of greater than (&#x3e;) 50 wt % within less than 1.5 minutes at 200&#x2dc;C, and require little or no degassing after crosslinking.

Compositions and methods for making crosslinked polyolefins with peroxide initiator

A heat-curable structural adhesive includes a non-rubber-modified epoxy resin, a reaction product of a carboxyl-or amine-terminated butadiene polymer or copolymer and a bisphenol F-based epoxy resin, a elastomeric toughener containing capped isocyanate groups, one or more epoxy curing agents a moisture scavenger and a heat activatable catalyst comprising a mixture of a solid or liquid tertiary amine compound that has a boiling temperature of at least 130&#xb0; C. and a novolac resin. The structural adhesive develops excellent bonding properties when cured at moderate temperatures, especially from 120 to 170&#xb0; C., and in addition performs very well in environmental aging stress testing. The adhesive is particularly good for bonding aluminum to another metal, or bonding aluminum to aluminum.
