Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent occurrence of scorch phenomenon and a fire by carrying out the operation from the stage of discharging foaming stock solution to the stage of finishing its foaming under reduced pressure-atmosphere. CONSTITUTION:In the state where a complete set of the foaming device such as a groove type conveyer 1, a nozzle 4, side paper 5 and bottom paper 6 is set in the reduced pressure-chamber 9 with a suction valve 7 and a pressure reducing valve (deaeration) 8, and a polyurethane foaming stock solution is continuously discharged on the groove type conveyer having been set in the reduced pressure-chamber 9 whose pressure was preliminarily reduced to 200mmHg. After its foaming, said solution is kept as it is for 5min. The pressure in the reduced pressure-chamber 9 is restored to normal pressure by introducing air into said chamber 9, thereby obtaining the polyurethane foam. The polymerization reaction heat generated in foaming process is not confined inside, and since a part of said heat is diffused outside and is drawn out, the occurrence of scorch phenomenon and a fire may be prevented. When the reaction heat is drawn outside, since said heat is uniformly diffused in the foam, the polyurethane foam with uniform property may be obtained. Further, without using olefin as auxiliary, the polyurethane foam with high foaming density is obtained.

[Prior art and problems] As is well known, polyurethane foam has excellent heat insulation properties, so the heat of polymerization reaction is trapped inside, and the higher the reaction heat, the more this reaction heat causes so-called scorch (discoloration due to burning). becomes larger.

The foaming reaction is due to CO2 gas due to the reaction between H2O and isocyanate, and in order to increase the foaming ratio (in other words, to obtain a low density foam), H2O It is necessary to increase the amount of Therefore, the amount of isocyanate reacted with 820 will inevitably increase, and the heat of the polymerization reaction will become extremely high, creating a risk of fire. Therefore, the limit for the amount of H2O added is approximately 5 wt% relative to 100 wt% of the polyol. Of course, even in this case, scorch due to reaction heat is often generated, although there are differences in magnitude, and a low boiling point solvent such as Freon 11 is used as a foaming aid.

However, when the low boiling point solvent simply gasifies and foams due to the heat of reaction, it evaporates to the outside. This Freon gas is used for cleaning parts such as semiconductors, forming urethane, dry cleaning, etc. It forms a layer surrounding the earth's ozone layer and does not emit radiant heat from the earth. It has become a major environmental problem in recent years, with reports showing that the atmospheric concentration is increasing by 3 degrees Celsius every year.
