    • FIELD OF THE INVENTION
  • The present invention relates to blowing agents for thermosetting foams. More particularly, the present invention relates to the use of the unsaturated halogenated hydroolefin, 3,3,3-trifluoropropene (HFO-1243zf or TFP) in combination with a hydrochlorofluoroolefin (HCFO) selected from HCFO-1233zd, HCFO-1233xf, HCFO-1223 and mixtures thereof as a blowing agent in the manufacture of thermosetting foams.
    • BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • The Montreal Protocol for the protection of the ozone layer, signed in October 1987, mandated the phase out of the use of chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs). Materials more “friendly” to the ozone layer, such as hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) eg HFC-134a replaced chlorofluorocarbons. The latter compounds have proven to be green house gases, causing global warming and were regulated by the Kyoto Protocol on Climate Change, signed in 1998. The emerging replacement materials, hydrofluoropropenes, were shown to be environmentally acceptable ie has zero ozone depletion potential (ODP) and acceptable low GWP.
  • Currently used blowing agents for thermoset foams include HFC-134a, HFC-245fa, HFC-365mfc that have relatively high global warming potential, and hydrocarbons such as pentane isomers flammable and have low energy efficiency. Therefore, new alternative blowing agents are being sought. Halogenated hydroolefinic materials such as hydrofluoropropenes and/or hydrochlorofluoropropenes have generated interest as replacements for HFCs. The inherent chemical instability of these materials in the lower atmosphere provides the low global warning potential and zero or near zero ozone depletion properties desired.

For replacement of CFC-11 and CFC-113, n is preferably from 3 to 6, and for replacement of CFC-12 n is preferably from 1 to 3. The examples disclose longer, higher boiling vinyl fluoroalkanes, including vinyl perfluoro-n-butane and vinyl perfluoro-n-hexane, in blowing agent formulations for polyurethane foaming.

  • The present invention relates to the use of blowing agents with negligible (low or zero) ozone-depletion and low GWP based upon unsaturated halogenated hydroolefins. The blowing agents comprise the hydrofluoropropene HFO-1243zf (3,3,3-trifluoropropene) in a combination with a hydrochlorofluoroolefin (HCFO) selected from HCFO-1233zd (1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene), HCFO-1233xf (2-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene), HCFO-1223 (dichlorotrifluoropropene) and mixtures thereof. The composition can further comprises a second, different hydrofluoroolefin (HFO), a hydrofluorocarbon, a hydrocarbon, an alcohol, an aldehyde, an esyer, a ketone ether/diether or carbon dioxide.

A preferred ratio of the HFO-1243zf component in combination with a hydrochlorofluoroolefin (HCFO) selected from HCFO-1233zd, HCFO-1233xf, HCFO-1223 and mixtures thereof is more than about 5wt % HFO-1243zf.
  • The hydrofluoropropene HFO-1243zf in combination with a hydrochlorofluoroolefin (HCFO) selected from HCFO-1233zd, HCFO-1233xf, HCFO-1223 and mixtures thereof composition of the present invention may be used in combination with additional low global warming potential and low or zero ozone depletion value materials including but not limited to: (a) hydrofluorocarbons including but not limited to difluoromethane (HFC32), 1,1,1-trifluoroethane (143a), 1,1,1,2,2-pentafluoroethane (HFC125), 1,1,2,2-tetrafluorothane (HFC134), 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane (HFC134a), 1,1-difluoroethane (HFC152a), 1,1,1,2,3,3,3-heptafluoropropane (HFC227ea), 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluopropane (HFC245fa), 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluobutane (HFC365mfc) and 1,1,1,2,2,3,4,5,5,5-decafluoropentane (HFC4310mee). (b) hydrofluoroolefins including but not limited to tetrafluoropropene (HFO1234), all tetrafluorobutene isomers (HFO-1354), all pentafluorobutene isomers (HFO1345), all hexafluorobutene isomers (HFO1336), all heptafluorobutene isomers (HFO1327), all heptafluoropentene isomers (HFO1447), all octafluoropentene isomers (HFO 1438), all nonafluoropentene isomers (HFO 1429) (c) hydrocarbons including but not limited to, pentane isomers, butane isomers, (d) C1 to C5 alcohols, C1 to C4 aldehydes, C1 to C4 ketones, C1 to C4 esters, C1 to C4 ethers and diethers and carbon dioxide.
  • The foamable compositions of the present invention generally include one or more components capable of forming foam having a generally cellular structure and a blowing agent, typically in a combination, in accordance with the present invention. In certain embodiments, the one or more components comprise a thermosetting composition capable of forming foam and/or foamable compositions. Examples of thermosetting compositions include polyurethane and polyisocyanurate foam compositions, and also phenolic foam compositions. In such thermosetting foam embodiments, one or more of the present compositions are included as or part of a blowing agent in a foamable composition, or as a part of a two or more part foamable composition, which preferably includes one or more of the components capable of reacting and/or foaming under the proper conditions to form a foam or cellular structure.
  • The invention also relates to foam, and preferably closed cell foam, prepared from a polymer foam formulation containing a blowing agent comprising the compositions of the invention. In yet other embodiments, the invention provides foamable compositions comprising thermosetting foams, such as polyurethane and polyisocyanurate foams, preferably low-density foams, flexible or rigid.
  • It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the order and manner in which the blowing agent combination of the present invention is formed and/or added to the foamable composition does not generally affect the operability of the present invention. For example, in the case of polyurethane foams, it is possible that the various components of the blowing agent combination, and even the components of the present composition, not be mixed in advance of introduction to the foaming equipment, or even that the components are not added to the same location in the foaming equipment. Thus, in certain embodiments it may be desired to introduce one or more components of the blowing agent combination in a blender with the expectation that the components will come together in the foaming equipment and/or operate more effectively in this manner. Nevertheless, in certain embodiments, two or more components of the blowing agent combination are combined in advance and introduced together into the foamable composition, either directly or as part of premix that is then further added to other parts of the foamable composition.
    • EXAMPLES Example 1
  • In the following examples, the foam was made by small polyurethane dispenser unless otherwise specified. The dispenser consisted of two pressurized cylinders, one for the A side (MDI) and one for the B side (polyol mixtures). The pressure in the cylinders could be adjusted by regulators. B-side mixtures were pre-blended and then charged into pressurized cylinders. Blowing agents were then added into B-side cylinder and mixed thoroughly. The cylinders were connected to a dispensing gun equipped with a static mixer. The pressures of both cylinders were adjusted so that desired ratio of the A and B sides could be achieved. The formulations tested (all had an Iso Index on ROH of 110) each contained Rubinate M, a polymeric methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI) available from Huntsman; Jeffol SG-360 and R-425-X, polyols from Huntsman; TEAP-265, a polyol from Carpenter Company. TegostabB 8465 a surfactant available from Evonik-Degussa. Jeffcat TD33A and ZR-70 are catalysts from Huntsman. NP 9.5, a compatibilizer from Huntsman. Total blowing agent level was 26.0 mls/g. Table 1 summarizes the formulations of the study.

  • K-factor is a key parameter for thermal insulation of foam. The lower the k-factor, the better the thermal insulation. As shown in Table 3, with the addition of a small amount of HCFO1233zd (15.5 mol % of HCFO1233zd over total of HCFO1233zd and HFO 1234zf), the k-factor is reduced. At low temperatures, the k-factor of the foam made of 15.5 mol % of HCFO1233zd and 84.5 mol % of HFO 1243ze is very close to or even better that the foam made of HCFO 1233zd alone. This is particularly useful for low temperature insulation of appliances.

  • Table 4 shows the free rise density was reduced as a small amount of HCFO1233zd (15.5 mol % of HCFO1233zd over total of HCFO1233zd and HFO 1234zf) was added. The lower the free rise density, the higher the blowing efficiency that can bring processing benefits such as better flowability of foam precursor. Low free rise density results in lower fill weight and material savings.
