Disclosed are polyurethane-foam forming compositions, rigid polyurethane foams and methods for their production, as well as to composite articles comprising such foams sandwiched between facer substrates, including use of such composite elements for floor insulating elements for refrigerated tractor trailers. The rigid polyurethane foams are produced from an isocyanate-reactive component comprising: (1) a polyol blend; (2) a halogenated hydroolefin; (3) a surfactant; (4) water; and (5) a tertiary amine catalyst composition.

Rigid polyurethane foams suitable for use as panel insulation

Disclosed are polyurethane-foam forming compositions, rigid polyurethane foams and methods for their production, as well as to composite articles comprising such foams sandwiched between facer substrates, including use of such composite elements for side-wall and/or roof insulating elements for refrigerated tractor trailers. The rigid polyurethane foams are produced from an isocyanate-reactive component comprising: (1) a polyol blend; (2) a halogenated hydroolefin; (3) a surfactant; (4) water; and (5) a tertiary amine catalyst composition.

Polyurethane composites to which paint will adhere without the need for an aggressive pretreatment are produced by a pultrusion process using a polyurethane-forming system that includes a polyisocyanate component containing at least one polyisocyanate and an isocyanate-reactive component containing at least one cashew oil-based polyether polyol.

Polyurethane pultrusion formulations for the production of articles with improved coating adhesion and articles produced therefrom

The present invention provides a process for producing a rigid polyisocyanurate foam involving reacting at an isocyanate index of from about 175 to about 400, a polyisocyanate with at least one natural-oil polyol containing at least about 35 wt. %, based on the weight of the polyol, of natural oil, having a hydroxyl number from about 175 to about 375 and a hydroxyl functionality of about 2.0 to about 2.8, in the presence of a blowing agent and optionally, in the presence of one or more of surfactants, flame retardants, pigments, catalysts and fillers, wherein the resulting foam has a renewable biobased content of at least 8% by weight. The foams provided by the inventive process possess properties similar to foams produced from petroleum-derived materials and may find use in wall or roof insulation systems. The high biobased content (&#x3e;8%) may allow wall or roof insulation systems containing these foams to be considered for the U.S. Government's preferred procurement program.

Process for preparing rigid polyisocyanurate foams using natural-oil polyols

The present invention is directed to an isocyanate reactive mixture comprising from about 17 to about 85% by weight of one or more non-filled polyether polyols having a hydroxyl functionality of from 1.5 to 3 and molecular weights of from 1,500 to 8,000; from about 12 to about 80% by weight of one or more non-tertiary amine containing polyether polyols having a hydroxyl functionality of from 3 to 8 and a molecular weight of from 150 to 1,000; from about 0 to about 4% by weight of one or more primary or secondary diamines or amino alcohols and from 3 to about 12% by weight of water. The invention is also directed to a water-blown, energy absorbing foams made from the isocyanate reactive mixture.

Water blown, energy absorbing foams

The present invention is directed to a process for producing a molded part by reacting an organic isocyanate with an active hydrogen group-containing material in the presence of a reinforcing fiber mat in a closed mold via the RIM process. The key to the present invention resides in the use of relatively high viscosity components.
