The present invention is directed to a liquid, storage stable isocyanate composition (Q) comprising monomeric diphenyl methane diisocyanate (MDI) as component (q1) and an amide with a molecular weight of less than 200 g/mol as component (q2) in an amount of 0.1 to 5 wt.-% based on the sum of the weight of components (q1) and (q2) which adds up to 100 wt.-%, wherein the NCO-content is in the range of from 29.5 to 40.0 wt.-% based on the total weight of the respective isocyanate composition (Q). The present invention is also directed to a process for the manufacture of said liquid, storage stable isocyanate composition (Q) as well as the use of an amide with a molecular weight of less than 200 g/mol for the liquification of at room temperature solid isocyanates. Further, the present invention is directed to the use of an isocyanate composition (Q) of the invention for the synthesis of polyurethane foams, compact polyurethane elastomers or thermoplastic polyurethanes.

Caprolactam-modified liquid mdi and its use in polyurethanes

The present invention relates to a process for producing polyurethane foam moldings where the density of the molding is at most 500 g/L, by mixing the following to give a reaction mixture: a) organic polyisocyanates with b) polyesterols, c) blowing agents, d) cell-opening additives selected from the group consisting of homo- or copolymers based on ethylhexyl acrylate, on polybutadiene, on polyisobutene, and on diorganosilicones, or a mixture of two or more of said antifoams, e) silicone-based cell stabilizers and optionally f) chain extenders and/or crosslinking agents, g) catalysts, and h) other auxiliaries and/or additives, and charging the materials to a mold, and permitting them to complete a reaction to give a polyurethane foam molding. The present invention further relates to polyurethane moldings obtainable by this process, and to the use of said moldings as shoe sole, steering wheel, seat, or armrest.
