Definitions
- the present invention pertains to polyurethane and polyisocyanurate foams and methods for the preparation thereof.
- Low density, rigid to semi-rigid polyurethane or polyisocyanurate foams have utility in a wide variety of insulation applications including roofing systems, building panels, building envelope insulation, spray applied foams, one and two component froth foams, insulation for refrigerators and freezers, and so called integral skin for application such as steering wheels and other automotive or aerospace cabin parts, shoe soles, and amusement park restraints.
- Critical to the large-scale commercial acceptance of rigid polyurethane foams is their ability to provide a good balance of properties.
- rigid polyurethane and polyisocyanurate foams are known to provide outstanding thermal insulation, excellent fire resistance properties, and superior structural properties at reasonably low densities.
- Integral skin foams are known to produce a tough durable outer skin and a cellular, cushioning core.
- Blowing agents include hydrocarbons, fluorocarbons, chlorocarbons, chlorofluorocarbons, hydrochlorofluorocarbons, halogenated hydrocarbons, ethers, esters, aldehydes, alcohols, ketones, organic acid or gas, most often CO 2 , generating materials.
- Heat is generated when the polyisocyanate reacts with the polyol, and volatilizes the blowing agent contained in the liquid mixture, thereby forming bubbles therein.
- gaseous species are generated by thermal decomposition or reaction with one or more of the ingredients used to produce the polyurethane or polyisocyanurate foam.
- the liquid mixture becomes a cellular solid, entrapping the blowing agent in the foam's cells. If a surfactant is not used in the foaming composition, the bubbles simply pass through the liquid mixture without forming a foam or forming a foam with large, irregular cells rendering it not useful.
- the foam industry has historically used liquid fluorocarbon blowing agents because of their ease of use and ability to produce foams with superior mechanical and thermal insulation properties. Fluorocarbons not only act as blowing agents by virtue of their volatility, but also are encapsulated or entrained in the closed cell structure of the rigid foam and are the major contributor to the low thermal conductivity properties of the rigid urethane foams. Fluorocarbon-based blowing agents also produce a foam having a favorable k-factor.
- the k-factor is the rate of transfer of heat energy by conduction through one square foot of one-inch thick homogenous material in one hour where there is a difference of one degree Fahrenheit perpendicularly across the two surfaces of the material. Since the utility of closed-cell polyurethane-type foams is based, in part, on their thermal insulation properties, it would be advantageous to identify materials that produce lower k-factor foams.
- Preferred blowing agents also have low global warming potential.
- hydrohaloolefins including hydrofluoroolefins of which trans-1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene (1234ze(E)) and 1,1,1,4,4,4hexafluorobut-2-ene (1336mzzm(Z)) are of particular interest and hydrochlorofluoroolefins of which trans-l-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene (1233zd(E)) is of particular interest.
- Processes for the manufacture of trans-1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene are disclosed in U.S. patents 7,230,146 and 7,189,884.
- Processes for the manufacture of trans-1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,844,475 and 6,403,847.
- the foam formulation is pre-blended into two components.
- the polyisocyanate and optionally isocyanate compatible raw materials including but not limited to certain blowing agents and non-reactive surfactants, comprise the first component, commonly referred to as the “A” component.
- a polyol or mixture of polyols, one or more surfactant, one or more catalyst, one or more blowing agent, and other optional components including but not limited to flame retardants, colorants, compatibilizers, and solubilizers comprise the second component, commonly referred to as the “B” component.
- polyurethane or polyisocyanurate foams are readily prepared by bringing together the A and B side components either by hand mix for small preparations and, preferably, machine mix techniques to form blocks, slabs, laminates, pour-in-place panels and other items, spray applied foams, froths, and the like.
- other ingredients such as fire retardants, colorants, auxiliary blowing agents, and other polyols can be added to the mixing head or reaction site. Most conveniently, however, they are all incorporated into one B component.
- a shortcoming of two-component systems, especially those using certain hydrohaloolefins, including 1234ze(E), 1336(Z), and 1233zd(E), is the shelf-life of the B-side composition. Normally when a foam is produced by bringing together the A and B side components, a good foam is obtained. However, if the polyol premix composition is aged, prior to treatment with the polyisocyanate, the foams are of lower quality and may even collapse during the formation of the foam.
- blowing agent for example by adding the blowing agent, amine catalyst, or surfactant to the polyisocyanate, (“A” component) or by introducing the blowing agent, amine catalyst, or surfactant using a separate stream from the “A” or “B” component
- a preferred solution is one that does not require a change in the way the foams are made.
- inorgano-metallic catalysts, organo-metallic catalysts and/or quaternary ammonium carboxylate catalysts, either alone or in combination with amine catalysts, can extend the shelf life of polyol premixes containing hydrohaloolefins, such as, but not limited to 1234ze(E), 1233zd(E), and/or 1336mzzm(Z), such that good quality foams can be produced even if the polyol blend has been aged several weeks or months.
- hydrohaloolefins such as, but not limited to 1234ze(E), 1233zd(E), and/or 1336mzzm(Z

More particularly, the invention relates to closed-celled, polyurethane and polyisocyanurate foams and methods for their preparation. The foams are characterized by a fine uniform cell structure and little or no foam collapse.

Description
- This application is related to and claims the priority benefit of United States provisional application Ser. No. 61/287,603 filed Dec. 17, 2009, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
- The present invention pertains to polyurethane and polyisocyanurate foams and methods for the preparation thereof.
- Low density, rigid to semi-rigid polyurethane or polyisocyanurate foams have utility in a wide variety of insulation applications including roofing systems, building panels, building envelope insulation, spray applied foams, one and two component froth foams, insulation for refrigerators and freezers, and so called integral skin for application such as steering wheels and other automotive or aerospace cabin parts, shoe soles, and amusement park restraints. Critical to the large-scale commercial acceptance of rigid polyurethane foams is their ability to provide a good balance of properties. For example, rigid polyurethane and polyisocyanurate foams are known to provide outstanding thermal insulation, excellent fire resistance properties, and superior structural properties at reasonably low densities. Integral skin foams are known to produce a tough durable outer skin and a cellular, cushioning core.
- It is known in the art to produce rigid or semi-rigid polyurethane and polyisocyanurate foams by reacting a polyisocyanate with one or more polyols in the presence of one or more blowing agents, one or more catalysts, one or more surfactants and optionally other ingredients. Blowing agents include hydrocarbons, fluorocarbons, chlorocarbons, chlorofluorocarbons, hydrochlorofluorocarbons, halogenated hydrocarbons, ethers, esters, aldehydes, alcohols, ketones, organic acid or gas, most often CO2, generating materials. Heat is generated when the polyisocyanate reacts with the polyol, and volatilizes the blowing agent contained in the liquid mixture, thereby forming bubbles therein. In the case of gas generating materials, gaseous species are generated by thermal decomposition or reaction with one or more of the ingredients used to produce the polyurethane or polyisocyanurate foam. As the polymerization reaction proceeds, the liquid mixture becomes a cellular solid, entrapping the blowing agent in the foam's cells. If a surfactant is not used in the foaming composition, the bubbles simply pass through the liquid mixture without forming a foam or forming a foam with large, irregular cells rendering it not useful.
- The foam industry has historically used liquid fluorocarbon blowing agents because of their ease of use and ability to produce foams with superior mechanical and thermal insulation properties. Fluorocarbons not only act as blowing agents by virtue of their volatility, but also are encapsulated or entrained in the closed cell structure of the rigid foam and are the major contributor to the low thermal conductivity properties of the rigid urethane foams. Fluorocarbon-based blowing agents also produce a foam having a favorable k-factor. The k-factor is the rate of transfer of heat energy by conduction through one square foot of one-inch thick homogenous material in one hour where there is a difference of one degree Fahrenheit perpendicularly across the two surfaces of the material. Since the utility of closed-cell polyurethane-type foams is based, in part, on their thermal insulation properties, it would be advantageous to identify materials that produce lower k-factor foams.
- Preferred blowing agents also have low global warming potential. Among these are hydrohaloolefins including hydrofluoroolefins of which trans-1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene (1234ze(E)) and 1,1,1,4,4,4hexafluorobut-2-ene (1336mzzm(Z)) are of particular interest and hydrochlorofluoroolefins of which trans-l-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene (1233zd(E)) is of particular interest. Processes for the manufacture of trans-1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene are disclosed in U.S. patents 7,230,146 and 7,189,884. Processes for the manufacture of trans-1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,844,475 and 6,403,847.
- It is convenient in many applications to provide the components for polyurethane or polyisocyanurate foams in pre-blended formulations. Most typically, the foam formulation is pre-blended into two components. The polyisocyanate and optionally isocyanate compatible raw materials, including but not limited to certain blowing agents and non-reactive surfactants, comprise the first component, commonly referred to as the “A” component. A polyol or mixture of polyols, one or more surfactant, one or more catalyst, one or more blowing agent, and other optional components including but not limited to flame retardants, colorants, compatibilizers, and solubilizers comprise the second component, commonly referred to as the “B” component. Accordingly, polyurethane or polyisocyanurate foams are readily prepared by bringing together the A and B side components either by hand mix for small preparations and, preferably, machine mix techniques to form blocks, slabs, laminates, pour-in-place panels and other items, spray applied foams, froths, and the like. Optionally, other ingredients such as fire retardants, colorants, auxiliary blowing agents, and other polyols can be added to the mixing head or reaction site. Most conveniently, however, they are all incorporated into one B component.
- A shortcoming of two-component systems, especially those using certain hydrohaloolefins, including 1234ze(E), 1336(Z), and 1233zd(E), is the shelf-life of the B-side composition. Normally when a foam is produced by bringing together the A and B side components, a good foam is obtained. However, if the polyol premix composition is aged, prior to treatment with the polyisocyanate, the foams are of lower quality and may even collapse during the formation of the foam.
- It has now been found that the origin of the problem is the reaction of certain amine catalysts with certain hydrohaloolefins including 1234ze, 1233zd, 1336mzzm, and/or combinations thereof. It has been found that, subsequent to the decomposition of the blowing agent, the molecular weight of the polymeric silicone surfactants, if present, is detrimentally altered.
- While it is possible to solve the problem by separating the blowing agent, surfactant, and catalyst, for example by adding the blowing agent, amine catalyst, or surfactant to the polyisocyanate, (“A” component) or by introducing the blowing agent, amine catalyst, or surfactant using a separate stream from the “A” or “B” component, a preferred solution is one that does not require a change in the way the foams are made. It has now been found that non-amine catalysts, e.g. inorgano-metallic catalysts, organo-metallic catalysts and/or quaternary ammonium carboxylate catalysts, either alone or in combination with amine catalysts, can extend the shelf life of polyol premixes containing hydrohaloolefins, such as, but not limited to 1234ze(E), 1233zd(E), and/or 1336mzzm(Z), such that good quality foams can be produced even if the polyol blend has been aged several weeks or months.
- Accordingly, this invention relates to rigid to semi-rigid, polyurethane and polyisocyanurate foams and methods for their preparation, which foams are characterized by a fine uniform cell structure and little or no foam collapse. The foams are produced with an organic polyisocyanate and a polyol premix composition which comprises a combination of a blowing agent, which is preferably a hydrohaloolefin, a polyol, a silicone surfactant, and a catalyst in which catalyst comprises one or more non-amine catalyst, preferably an inorgano- or organo-metallic compound or a quaternary ammonium carboxylate catalyst, and also may include one or more amine catalysts.

The silicone surfactant is used to form a foam from the mixture, as well as to control the size of the bubbles of the foam so that a foam of a desired cell structure is obtained. Preferably, a foam with small bubbles or cells therein of uniform size is desired since it has the most desirable physical properties such as compressive strength and thermal conductivity. Also, it is critical to have a foam with stable cells which do not collapse prior to forming or during foam rise.
- Silicone surfactants for use in the preparation of polyurethane or polyisocyanurate foams are available under a number of trade names known to those skilled in this art. Such materials have been found to be applicable over a wide range of formulations allowing uniform cell formation and maximum gas entrapment to achieve very low density foam structures. The preferred silicone surfactant comprises a polysiloxane polyoxyalkylene block co-polymer.

- The preparation of polyurethane or polyisocyanurate foams using the compositions described herein may follow any of the methods well known in the art can be employed, see Saunders and Frisch, Volumes I and II Polyurethanes Chemistry and technology, 1962, John Wiley and Sons, New York, N.Y. or Gum, Reese, Ulrich, Reaction Polymers, 1992, Oxford University Press, New York, N.Y. or Klempner and Sendijarevic, Polymeric Foams and Foam Technology, 2004, Hanser Gardner Publications, Cincinnati, Ohio. In general, polyurethane or polyisocyanurate foams are prepared by combining an isocyanate, the polyol premix composition, and other materials such as optional flame retardants, colorants, or other additives. These foams can be rigid, flexible, or semi-rigid, and can have a closed cell structure, an open cell structure or a mixture of open and closed cells.
- It is convenient in many applications to provide the components for polyurethane or polyisocyanurate foams in pre-blended formulations. Most typically, the foam formulation is pre-blended into two components. The isocyanate and optionally other isocyanate compatible raw materials, including but not limited to blowing agents and certain silicone surfactants, comprise the first component, commonly referred to as the “A” component. The polyol mixture composition, including surfactant, catalysts, blowing agents, and optional other ingredients comprise the second component, commonly referred to as the “B” component. In any given application, the “B” component may not contain all the above listed components, for example some formulations omit the flame retardant if flame retardancy is not a required foam property. Accordingly, polyurethane or polyisocyanurate foams are readily prepared by bringing together the A and B side components either by hand mix for small preparations and, preferably, machine mix techniques to form blocks, slabs, laminates, pour-in-place panels and other items, spray applied foams, froths, and the like. Optionally, other ingredients such as fire retardants, colorants, auxiliary blowing agents, water, and even other polyols can be added as a stream to the mix head or reaction site. Most conveniently, however, they are all incorporated into one B component as described above.
