The present invention relates to a process for preparing rigid polyurethane foams or rigid polyisocyanurate foams by using certain polyetherester polyols B) based on aromatic dicarboxylic acids, optionally further polyester polyols C), which differ from those of component B), and polyether polyols D), wherein the mass ratio of total components B) and optionally C) to component D) is less than 1.6. The present invention also relates to the rigid foams thus obtainable and to their use for producing sandwich elements having rigid or flexible outer layers. The present invention further relates to the underlying polyol components.

Preparing rigid polyurethane foams

The present invention relates to polyester polyols obtainable or obtained by esterification of 10 to 70 mol % of at least one compound from the group consisting of terephthalic acid (TPA), dimethyl terephthalate (DMT), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), phthalic anhydride (PA), phthalic acid and isophthalic acid, 0.1 to 30 mol % of one or more fatty acids and/or fatty acid derivatives, 10 to 70 mol % of one or more aliphatic or cycloaliphatic diols having 2 to 18 carbon atoms or alkoxylates thereof, 5 to 70 mol % of a polyether polyol prepared by alkoxylating an aromatic starter molecule having a functionality of not less than 2, and of 0 to 70 mol % of a tri- or polyol other than the polyether polyol, all based on the total amount of the components used, wherein the amounts used of the components add up to 100 mol %. The present invention further relates to a process for producing rigid polyurethane or polyisocyanurate foams which comprises reacting an isocyanate component with a polyol component (PK) comprising a polyester polyol of the present invention and further components, to the polyol component as such and also to the rigid polyurethane or polyisocyanurate foams obtainable or obtained by a process of the present invention. The present invention also relates to the method of using a polyester polyol (P1) of the present invention in the manufacture of rigid polyurethane foams or rigid polyisocyanurate foams.

Method for producing polyurethane rigid foams and polyisocyanurate rigid foams

The invention relates to an improved process for producing composite elements comprising at least one outer layer and at least one isocyanate-based rigid foam layer by means of a fixed applicator apparatus and in which the flowable starting material comprises the following components: A) at least one polyisocyanate, B) at least one compound which reacts with isocyanate groups to form urethane, C) at least one blowing agent, D) catalysts comprising at least one compound D1) which catalyzes isocyanurate formation and at least one compound D2) which catalyzes polyurethane formation, comprising at least one amino group, and E) optionally auxiliaries and additives, where the manner of use of component A) and of component B) is such that the isocyanate index is at least 180, and where the ratio by weight of the compound D2) to the compound D1) is from 0.75 to 8.

Rigid polyurethane foams

A process for producing a rigid polyurethane foam by reacting an organic polyisocyanate with a polyol component containing a compound with at least two hydrogen atoms which are reactive toward isocyanate groups in the presence of a blowing agent, a catalyst, and optionally auxiliaries and additives, wherein the polyol component contains, by weight: 20 to 60 parts of a polyether alcohol having a functionality of 3.5 to 5.5 and a hydroxyl number of from 400 to 550 mg KOH/g; 1 to 20 parts of a polyether alcohol based on an aliphatic amine and having a functionality of 3.5 to 4.5 and a hydroxyl number of 450 to 900 mg KOH/g; 10 to 30 parts of a polyether alcohol and/or aromatic polyester alcohol having functionalities of 1.5 to 3 and a hydroxyl number of from 150 to 450 mg KOH/g; and optionally 1 to 5 parts of water.

Process for producing rigid polyurethane foams

The present invention relates to polyester polyols based on aromatic dicarboxylic acids and their use for producing rigid polyurethane foams.

Polyester polyols based on aromatic dicarboxylic acids

Rigid polyurethane foams or rigid polyisocyanurate foams with low brittleness are produced by the reaction of polyisocyanate polyetherester polyols based on aromatic dicarboxylic acids obtained by esterification of a dicarboxylic acid composition containing aromatic dicarboxylic acids and aliphatic dicarboxylic acids, fatty acids, aliphatic or cycloaliphatic diols having 2 to 18 carbon atoms or alkoxylates thereof, and a polyether polyol having a functionality of not less than 2.
