Definitions
- This invention relates to polyurethane foam.
- This invention particularly relates to mechanically frothed polyurethane foam useful for preparing attached cushion carpets and carpet underlays.
- Cost is a very important property because of the highly competitive nature of the carpet industry. However, if a carpet does not properly install or rolls up after installation, the carpet is not desirable to purchasers.
- Polyurethane foams are generally prepared by admixing an "A" component, a polyisocyanate, with a “B” component, an active hydrogen containing material, wherein a gas is either mechanically introduced or produced chemically, the gas forming bubbles which in turn form a cell-like structure in the cured polyurethane.
- the process of introducing gas into a polyurethane formulation is known as "blowing" the formulation. The greater the amount of gas introduced into a polyurethane formulation, the lower the density of the resultant foam produced therewith.
- the present invention is a process for preparing a polyurethane foam useful for preparing attached cushion carpets comprising admixing, with frothing, a polyurethane formulation including a polyisocyanate component, an active hydrogen containing component and a catalyst component, wherein the catalyst component includes at least two catalysts, at least one being an organo-metallic catalyst and at least one other being a tertiary amine catalyst.
- the present invention is a polyurethane foam
- a polyurethane foam comprising a polyurethane foam prepared by admixing, with frothing, a polyurethane formulation including a polyisocyanate component, an active hydrogen containing component and a catalyst component, wherein the catalyst component consists of at least two catalysts, at least one being an organo-metallic catalyst and at least one other being a tertiary amine catalyst.
- the present invention is a textile having an attached cushion comprising a textile and a polyurethane foam adherent thereto wherein the polyurethane foam is prepared by admixing, with frothing, a polyurethane formulation including a polyisocyanate component, an active hydrogen containing component and a catalyst component, wherein the catalyst component consists of at least two catalysts, at least one being an organo-metallic catalyst and at least one other being a tertiary amine catalyst.
- the present invention is a polyurethane foam pad integral to a polyurethane backed textile, known as an attached cushion carpet.
- the polyurethane backed textile is a carpet or carpet tile having at least one polyurethane foam layer.
- This application of a polyurethane layer in a carpet is disclosed in, for example, U.S. Patent No. 4,853,054, to Turner, et al., which is incorporated herein by reference, and U.S. Patent No. 5,104,693 to Jenkmes, et al., also incorporated herein by reference.
- the present invention is a polyurethane foam for use as a carpet underlay.
- Carpet underlays are prepared in a manner similar to attached cushion carpet except that the polyurethane foam is applied to a substrate, usually a woven substrate prepared from polypropylene. After the polyurethane foam has cured, the underlay can be used to supplement cushioning to attached cushion carpets or as a cushioning support for unpadded carpets.
- the polyurethane foams of the present invention are similar to conventionally prepared foams except that they are prepared from formulations having both an organo-metallic and an amme catalyst.
- the polyurethane foams so produced have sufficiently low densities to be less expensive to produce than conventional polyurethane foams for carpet applications, yet the foams have sufficient dimensional stability and roll set properties to be desirable for use in carpet applications.
- foam formulations of the present invention can have improved foaming properties.
- the desirable combination of good physical properties and low density of the present invention results from the use of the dual catalysts of the present invention.
- the foam formulations used to prepare the polyurethane foams of the present invention have from 0.5 to 3 parts water per hundred parts polyol, from 0.02 to 0.25 parts organo-metallic and amine catalyst per hundred parts polyol, and from 0.4 to 2 parts surfactant per hundred parts polyol.
- the resultant polyurethane foams have densities of from 8 to 13 pounds per cubic foot (lb. /ft 3 ) (from 128 to 208 kg/M 3 ) .
- the foams of the present invention will have a density of about 9 lb. /ft 3 (144 kg/M 3 ) .
- Conventional polyurethane foams useful for carpet applications when prepared under similar conditions to the polyurethane foams of the present invention can have densities of from 13 to 16 lb. /ft 3 (from 192 to 256 kg/M 3 ) .
- the polyisocyanate can be any polyisocyanate in an amount to provide an isocyanate index of 90 to 130.
- An isocyanate index is a value calculated by dividing the equivalents of isocyanate by the equivalents of isocyanate reactive components in a polyurethane formulation and then multiplying by 100. For example, in a formulation where both isocyanate and isocyanate reactive components are present in a stoichiometric amount, such a formulation would have an isocyanate index of 100.
- a polyisocyanate can be used as is or it can be first combined with less than a stochiometric amount of a polyol to form a prepolymer.
- the prepolymer is at least 30 percent by weight of the total polyisocyanate and is a soft segment prepolymer which is the reaction product of a stoichiometric excess of MDI or an MDI derivative and an isocyanate reactive organic polymer having an equivalent weight from 500 to 5,000, the prepolymer having an isocyanate group content of 10 to 30 percent by weight.

- the polyol component can preferably be a polyol mixture having as one part of the mixture a polyol based on a C 3 -C 8 alkylene oxide, which has an equivalent weight of 1000 to 5000, and an internal poly(ethylene oxide) block or a terminal ethylene oxide cap constituting 15 to 30 percent of the weight of the polyol, or mixture of such polyols wherein the polyol or mixture thereof has an average functionality of 1.8 to 2.2
- the other portion of the polyol mixture is preferably a minor amount of a low equivalent weight compound having about 2 active hydrogen containing groups per molecule.
- the polyurethane foams of the present invention are prepared with at least two catalysts.
- One catalyst is an organo-metallic catalyst, preferably an organo-tm such as: dimethyltm dilaurate, dibutyltin dilaurate, dioctyltin dilaurate, stannous octoate, dibutyl tin sulfide, dibutyltin dnsooctylmercaptoacetate, dioctyltin dnsoctylmercaptoacetate.

- the foams of the present invention are prepared using blowing agents.
- the blowing agent is preferably air, however, other gases, such as carbon dioxide, nitrogen can be used.
- the blowing agent is most preferably introduced into the polymer by frothing.
- a frother is a device which injects the blowing agent, usually compressed air, into an admixture as it agitates the admixture. Frothing a polyurethane formulation is often facilitated by using a surfactant to stabilize the foam, that is, to enhance the ability of the foam to retain blowing gasses, and to improve cell structure.
- foams of the present invention can have an inherently finer, more uniform cell structure. Therefore, surfactants which have maximum frothing efficiency can be used with the formulations of the present invention, regardless of their impact on the ability of the formulation to retain cell structure, so long as the surfactants are not foam destabilizers.
