Isopropylidenediphenol-based polyether polyols, processes for their production, foams produced using such isopropylidenediphenol-based polyether polyols, such as PUR-PIR rigid foams, as well as to processes for producing such foams. The polyether polyols have an internal block comprising polymerized ethylene oxide moieties and an external cap comprising polymerized propylene oxide moieties.

Isopropylidenediphenol-based polyether polyols, processes for their production, and foams produced therefrom

Polyol blends, isocyanate-reactive compositions, polyurethane foam-forming compositions, methods of producing polyurethane foams, polyurethane foams produced from such compositions and made by such methods. The polyol blends, isocyanate-reactive compositions and polyurethane foam-forming compositions include an isopropylidenediphenol-based polyether polyol in combination with another polyol.

Polyol blends that include an isopropylidenediphenol-based polyether polyol, related compositions and foams

A flexibilizing capped prepolymer can include a reaction product of reaction mixture including a polyisocyanate and an isocyanate-reactive component at an equivalent ratio of polyisocyanate equivalents to isocyanate-reactive component equivalents of from 1.4:1 to 2.1:1. The isocyanate-reactive component can include a polyol component and a branching agent component. The branching agent component can include a monoglyceride, a diglyceride, a triglyceride, or a combination thereof having a number average functionality of from 3 to 6 NCO-reactive functional groups. The reaction product is terminated with a capping agent to form the flexibilizing capped prepolymer.

Flexibilizing capped prepolymers

This invention relates to an in-situ formed polyether polyol blend having an overall functionality of 2 to 3 and an overall hydroxyl number of 40 to 220 mg KOH/g. A process for preparing these in-situ formed polyether polyol blends is also disclosed. These in-situ formed polyether polyol blends are suitable for a process of preparing viscoelastic flexible polyurethane foams.
