Definitions
- the present invention relates to solid particles of polyisocyanates, in particular diisocyanates, and more particularly diphenylmethane diisocyanates (MDI), a method for the production thereof and their use.
- polyisocyanates in particular diisocyanates, and more particularly diphenylmethane diisocyanates (MDI), a method for the production thereof and their use.
- MDI diphenylmethane diisocyanates
- Polyisocyanates are well known in the art and are used extensively as raw materials, for example in the production of polyurethanes.
- Polyisocyanates cover a broad range of organic compounds having 2 or more isocyanate groups. Such compounds may comprise aromatic and/or aliphatic groups. Examples of polyisocyanates which are widely used include tolylene diisocyanates (TDI), diphenylmethane diisocyanates (MDI), naphthalene- 1,5 -diisocyanate (NDI), 1,6-hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI), p-phenylenediisocyanate (PPDI), trans-cyclohexane-l,4-d ⁇ socyanate (CHDI), isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI) and tetramethylxylene diisocyanates (TMXDI).
- TDI tolylene diisocyanates
- MDI diphenylmethane diisocyanates
- NDI naphthalene- 1,5 -diisocyanate
- HDI 1,6-hexamethylene diisocyanate
- One ofthe most important polyisocyanates is MDI.
- Modified forms of polyisocyanates are mainly liquefied products such as dimerised or trimerised forms of the polyisocyanates, or reaction products of polyisocyanates with compounds containing isocyanate-reactive groups.
- polyisocyanates for example 4,4'-diphenylmethane diisocyanate
- 4'-diphenylmethane diisocyanate Some polyisocyanates, for example 4,4'-diphenylmethane diisocyanate, are already available in the form of flakes, but these give rise to problems from a health and safety point of view since they generate dust.
- solid polyisocyanate particles can be produced which have a controlled particle size and particle size distribution, and which are chemically virtually identical to the starting material of which they are made.
- the present invention thus concerns solid polyisocyanate particles having a particle size distribution index of less than 1.5.
- the particles are substantially free of induced impurities.
- the term 'induced impurities' includes all reaction products formed through the reaction of isocyanate-groups with isocyanate-reactive groups during the conversion ofthe polyisocyanate starting material into particles which were not present in the starting material.
- reaction products may be urethanes, allophanates, ureas, biurets, amides, carbodiimides or uretonimines, or dimers or trimers of isocyanates.
- PSDI particle size distribution index
- w is the weight ofthe particles with mean diameter D h and the number average particle size being
- diameter is intended to include the main cross dimension of a particle.
- Preferred polyisocyanate particles have a PSDI of less than 1.3. Most preferably the PSDI is not more than 1 J .
- the polyisocyanate particles ofthe present invention may have any shape, but are preferably spheroidal, and most preferably spherical.
- Polyisocyanate particles according to the invention may be one or more polyisocyanate species, preferably one or a mixture of congeneric species, e.g. oligomers, in particular one species, and can be obtained from any organic polyisocyanate.
- Useful polyisocyanates may be aliphatic, cycloaliphatic, araliphatic, heterocyclic or aromatic.
- Suitable polyisocyanates include, for example, hexamethylene diisocyanate, isophorone diisocyanate, cyclohexane- 1,4-diisocyanate, dicyclohexylmethane-4,4-diisocyanate and p- xylylene-diisocyanate.
- Preferred polyisocyanates are aromatic polyisocyanates, for example phenylene diisocyanates, tolylene diisocyanates, 1,5 -naphthylene diisocyanate and especially diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI) based polyisocyanates like 4,4'-MDI, 2,4-MDI or mixtures thereof and polymeric MDI having an isocyanate functionality of more than 2.
- MDI diphenylmethane diisocyanate
- a type of polyisocyanate with which it has been found particularly useful, is "pure" MDI.
- '"pure" MD ⁇ is intended to include polyisocyanate compositions comprising at least 85%, preferably at least 95% and most preferably at least 99% by weight of 4,4'-MDI.
- pure MDI shows a strong tendency to dimerize. It is a particular advantage of this invention that “pure MDI” particles according to the invention do not contain any induced dimer groups.
- the polyisocyanate particles ofthe present invention generally have a diameter of from OJ to 5 mm.
- the preferred size largely depends on the application of the solid polyisocyanate particles. For most applications a particle size of from 1 to 2.5 mm is preferred, 1.0 to 1.5 mm being even more preferred. Particles having a larger size tend to form 'pop-corns' and are less preferred.
- the invention also relates to a method for the production of said polyisocyanate particles which comprises subjecting molten polyisocyanates to a , preferably vibrated, prilling treatment.
- Prilling operations are known from the production of o.a. fertilizers and are described in, for example, EP-A 320.153. Further details on the prilling process can be found in e.g. EP-A 542545, EP-A 569162, EP-A 569163 and EP-A 570119, which are inco ⁇ orated herein by reference.
- a molten material is caused to flow through at least one nozzle, which is optionally vibrated, to form drops ofthe material which are cooled in a cooling medium to give solid spheres or prills ofthe material.
- the cooling generally takes place in a tower where the drops fall down in a counter-current flow ofa gas.
- a plurality of nozzles is used and the size ofthe drops largely depends upon the size and type ofthe nozzles, the nature ofthe material being prilled and the rate of flow of material through the nozzles.
- the cooling medium is preferably not isocyanate-reactive and may be any inert gas.
- a preferred gas is nitrogen.
- the choice of a suitable cooling medium and the cooling temperature depend on the characteristics of the polyisocyanate starting material. For example, in the production of particles from pure MDI a temperature of -20 to -25 °C is preferably employed.
- the prilled products Compared to other bulk particulate products the prilled products have a very narrow size distribution.
- the prilling treatment does generally not have a detrimental effect on the product quality
- usual additives such as stabilisers, anti-oxidants or pigments may be added to improve such properties as storage and colour stability or oxidation resistance.
- the polyisocyanate particles of the present invention can advantageously be used in the production of polyisocyanate polyaddition products, such as foams, elastomers, coatings, adhesives, sealants, encapsulants or binders.
- Weight average particle size 1.215 mm
- Number average particle size 1.11 mm
- PSDI I.: Table III: Hole size: 520 microns (vibrated)
- Weight average particle size 1.1 mm
- Number average particle size 1 04 mm
- PSDI 1.058 Table IV: Hole size: 1040 microns (vibrated)
- Weight average particle size 1.92 mm
- Number average particle size 1.8 mm
- Flowability ofa range of prilled pure MDI batches was measured by weighing 250 g of frozen prills and pouring it through a funnel into a cylinder of 42 mm diameter.
- the average flow given in the tables V and VI is the average rate of 4 timed flows of batches of frozen particles.
- Target Prill Size 1.25 mm % Prill at Target Size Average Flow ⁇ g/secj
- Table VI shows that for a given particle size the flowability increases with decreasing particle size distribution (the higher the % prill at target size the narrower the particle size distribution).
- a higher flowability enables quicker and easier drum filling and emptying operations.
