Described herein is an isocyanate composition, a polyurethane foam obtained therefrom and a method of using the polyurethane foam in an article.

Polyisocyanate composition, a polyurethane foam obtained therefrom and use thereof

A method of forming a polyurethane foam article includes the step of forming a resin composition. The resin composition includes a polyol component, an amine catalyst, and a blowing component. The blowing component includes a hydrofluoroolefin and formic acid. The method also includes the steps of combining the resin composition, a recycled resin composition, and an isocyanate component to form a reaction mixture and discharging the reaction mixture to form the polyurethane foam article.

Method of forming a polyurethane foam article

A resin composition and an article formed therefrom are disclosed. The resin composition comprises a halogenated polyol, a brominated polyol different from the halogenated polyol, and a flame retardant. The resin composition may further comprise other components, such as supplemental polyols, catalysts, adhesion promoters, surfactants, blowing agents, additives, or combinations thereof. The article comprises the reaction product of an isocyanate, the halogenated polyol, and the brominated polyol in the presence of the flame retardant, a blowing agent, and optionally, one of more of the other components. Typically, the article is defined as a polyurethane foam. The article exceeds Class I flammability requirements, such as flame spread index, smoke density, and convective flame spread parameter according to ASTM E-84 and FM 4880 testing. In addition, the article exhibits excellent dimensional stability and adhesion strength, and may be used to form building materials, such as insulation, wall, and ceiling panels.
