The invention relates to reaction mixtures having a high ratio of isocyanate groups to isocyanate-reactive groups, which reaction mixtures mostly cure through the formation of isocyanurate groups, and to the use of such reaction mixtures for producing semifinished materials.

Composite materials based on dual-cure urethane polymers and dual-cure isocyanurate polymers

The present invention relates to polymerizable compositions which contain components that can be crosslinked both via isocyanurate bonds and by a radical reaction mechanism. The invention further relates to methods by way of which polymers can be produced from said compositions.

Dual-curing isocyanurate polymers

The present invention relates to the use of tertiary amines as catalysts for the cross-linking of isocyanate groups which are aliphatically and/or cyclo-aliphatically bonded. The catalysts according to the invention have the particular advantage that they are thermally latent.

Amine catalysts for the manufacture of isocyanurate polymers

The invention relates to a process for producing a composite polyisocyanurate material, comprising the following steps: a) providing a polyisocyanate composition A) which comprises oligomeric polyisocyanates and is low in monomeric diisocyanates, 'low in monomeric diisocyanates' meaning that the polyisocyanate composition A) has a content of monomeric diisocyanates of not more than 20% by weight, and b) catalytically trimerizing the polyisocyanate composition A) in the presence of at least one fibrous filler B) and of a trimerization catalyst C) to give the composite polyisocyanurate material, where the trimerization catalyst C) comprises at least one metal salt and/or quaternary ammonium salt. The invention further relates to composite polyisocyanurate materials obtainable by the process according to the invention and to the use thereof for production of a component, and to components consisting of or comprising a composite polyisocyanurate material according to the invention.

Method for producing a polyisocyanurate composite material

The invention relates to a method for producing a polyisocyanurate composite material, comprising the following steps: a) providing a polyisocyanate composition A) which contains monomer polyisocyanates at an amount of at least 2 wt. %, and b) catalytically trimerising the polyisocyanate composition A) in the presence of at least one fibrous filler material B) and a trimerisation catalyst C), to form the polyisocyanurate composite material, said trimerisation catalyst C) comprising at least one quaternary ammonium salt and/or a metal salt. The invention also relates to polyisocyanurate composite materials that can be obtained according to the claimed method, and to the use of same to produce a component and components consisting of or containing a claimed polyisocyanurate composite material.

The invention relates to a process used to produce open-cell and extremely fine-cell PUR/PIR rigid foams, said process using a polyol formulation comprising a specific isocyanate-reactive component, a catalyst component having zerewitinoff-active hydrogens and a cell-opener component.

Polyurethane foam and process for producing same

A polyurethane foam, polyisocyanurate foam or polyurea foam is obtainable from the reaction of a mixture comprising A) a compound reactive towards isocyanate ('NCO-reactive compound'); B) a blowing agent selected from the group comprising linear, branched or cyclic C1 to C6 hydrocarbons, linear,branched or cyclic C1 to C6 fluorocarbons, N, O, argon and/or CO, where the blowing agent B) is present in the supercritical or near-critical state; C) a polyisocyanate; D) an amphiphilic isocyanate; and E) optionally a surfactant and F) optionally other auxiliaries and additives. The invention further relates to the production of this polyurethane foam, where the blowing agent is emulsified in the isocyanate component containing amphiphilic isocyanate.
