Abstract
The invention pertains to tertiary amines used as catalysts for the preparation of polyurethane foams prepared via the catalytic reaction of a polyisocyanate with a polyol in the presence of blowing agents, etc. The tertiary amine catalysts are prepared by reacting an olefinic nitrile with aliphatic polyol having at least secondary hydroxyl functionality in a ratio less than stoichiometric for providing cyanoalkylated polyol having residual hydroxyl functionality. The resulting cyanoalkylated polyol then is reacted with a secondary amine under conditions for effective reductive alkylation. The tertiary amine catalysts, because of residual secondary hydroxyl functionality, provide for uniform dispersion within a polyurethane, formulation; they provude for additional or extended pot life in polyurethane formulations at temperature below reaction condition, and they are bound by reaction on cure.
