Definitions
- the present invention relates to a batch process for producing a polyurethane foam comprising (a) polyisocyanates with (b) at least one higher molecular weight compound having at least two reactive hydrogen atoms and (c) optionally low molecular weight chain extenders and / or crosslinking agents, (d) blowing agents, containing optionally water, (e) catalysts, (f) water-absorbing polymer, (g) capsules optionally containing latent heat storage and (h) optionally mixing other additives and reacting the resulting reaction mixture to polyurethane foam, either the propellant d) contains no water, or if the propellant d) contains water, propellant d) and water-absorbing polymer f) is brought into contact only during the preparation of the reaction mixture.
- the invention further relates to polyurethane foams obtainable by such a process and to shoe soles comprising such a polyurethane foam.
- a pleasant climate is important for human well-being. Above all, the temperature and humidity of the immediate body environment play an important role. This body climate is generally influenced by clothing.
- Clothing should support as much as possible the body's own mechanisms for heat regulation.
- One such mechanism is sweating.
- the body produces moisture that evaporates on the skin surface. The body is thereby deprived of evaporation energy in the form of heat.
- the absorption capacity of the materials for water can be increased, for example, by hydrophilic polyurethane foams, wherein the hydrophilicity of the foams can be achieved by using polar polyols such as polyesterols or special polyetherols with high levels of ethylene oxide (EO). Examples thereof can be found in the specifications US Pat. No. 3,869,993, US Pat. No. 3,884,417 and WO 2004074343.
- polar polyols such as polyesterols or special polyetherols with high levels of ethylene oxide (EO).
- EO ethylene oxide
- a disadvantage of such materials is the swelling with increase in volume upon absorption of high amounts of moisture.
- foams are obtained with lower elasticity and higher compression set. This is a particular disadvantage when using such materials in shoes as insoles.
- WO 03097345 discloses a hydrophilic polyurethane foam with a content of water-absorbing polymer of not more than 0.1% by weight, which makes it possible to transport moisture in the polyurethane foam material. According to WO 03097345, a higher content of water-absorbing polymer causes it to gel in regions of high humidity, thereby preventing the transport of moisture. Further, WO 03097345 discloses that in the preparation of the polyurethane foam, an aqueous phase containing the water-absorbent polymer is used.
- WO 9744183 also discloses the use of water-absorbing particles in a polyurethane foam.
- the foams disclosed in WO 9744183 are prepared in the form of blocks. These are obtained in a continuous procedure by reacting a hydrophilic isocyanate prepolymer in combination with acrylic latex and water and then pressed in a further step by Thermover- molding to soles. In this process, the isocyanate is reacted with a high stoichiometric excess of water.
- the prepolymers used in this case are obtained by reacting TDI or MDI with hydrophilic polyetherols and generally have NCO contents of between 5 and 8%.
- the water-absorbing polymer is used together with the isocyanate-reactive component.
- Foam and shaping takes place in one step. This eliminates subsequent additional necessary for the molding steps and associated overhead, for example, by post-processing of the parts and material loss by cutting waste.
- Water-absorbing polymers can not be used because of their properties or only in very small proportions in the isocyanate or in the water-containing isocyanate-reactive component, since these swell with water and thereby greatly increase the viscosity of the polyol. This leads to only a limited miscibility of the isocyanate component with the isocyanate-reactive component and thus inhomogeneous products.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a simple process which makes it possible to produce polyurethane foams having a content of water-absorbing polymer of up to 20% by weight, based on the total weight of the polyurethane foam.
- a discontinuous process for preparing a polyurethane foam which comprises (a) polyisocyanates with (b) at least one higher molecular weight compound having at least two reactive hydrogen atoms and (c) optionally low molecular weight chain extender and (d) blowing agents containing optionally water, (e) catalysts, (f) water-absorbing polymer, (g) optionally Capsules containing latent heat storage and (h) optionally other additives and reacting the resulting reaction mixture to polyurethane foam, either the propellant d) contains no water or, if the propellant d) contains water, propellant d) and water-absorbing polymer f) only at the Preparation of the reaction mixture is brought into contact.
