The invention relates to a method for producing a polyoxymethylene polyoxyalkylene block copolymer, said method including the process of reacting a polymer formaldehyde compound with alkylene oxide in the presence of a double metal cyanide (DMC) catalyst and an H-functional starter substance, wherein the theoretical molar mass of the polymer formaldehyde compound is lower than the theoretical molar mass of the H-functional starter substance, and the polymer formaldehyde compound has at least one terminal hydroxyl group, the theoretical molar mass of the H-functional starter substance being at least 500 g/mol. In the method according to the invention, a mixture i) is provided comprising the DMC catalyst and the H-functional starter substance in step (i); the polymer formaldehyde compound is then added to the mixture (i) in step (ii), thereby forming a mixture (ii); and the alkylene oxide is added in step (iii), step (ii) being carried out at the same time as or prior to step (iii).

Method for producing polyoxymethylene polyoxyalkylene block copolymers

A process for producing rigid PUR/PIR foams comprising A1 an isocyanate-reactive component, A2 a flame retardant, A3 a blowing agent, A4 a catalyst, A5 optionally auxiliaries and additives, and B an organic polyisocyanate component. Component A1 comprises a triurethane triol A1.1 and a compound A1.2 selected from the group consisting of polyether polyol, polyester polyol, polyether carbonate polyol, and polyether ester polyol. Also disclosed is a rigid PUR/PIR foam, an insulating material, a composite element, and a mixture.

Flame-retarded rigid polyurethane foams

The present invention relates to a method for producing flexible polyurethane foams based on polyoxymethylene-polyoxyalkylene block copolymers. The invention also relates to the use of the flexible polyurethane foams thus produced and their use for producing furniture upholstery, textile inlays, mattresses, automobile seats, headrests, armrests, sponges, foam sheets for use in automobile parts such as roof linings, door panel upholstery, seat covers and technical components. The invention finally relates to a two-component system for producing flexible polyurethane foams.
