  • Prepolymers combine multiple isocyanate molecules (e.g. from 2 to about 5 or more) and in this way the NCO content can be reduced from about 16 -30% by weight (as in monomers) to about 1 to 14% by partial polymerization. This NCO content range still affords suitable reactivity with the hydroxyl groups of polyols to generate a three dimensional scaffold and has suitable viscosity required for flowability.
  • Useful isocyanate prepolymers include, e.g. Dow EchelonTM pre polymers, Bayer BaytecTM and/or Huntsman pre-polymers.
  • Polyols useful as the second reactant member of the isocyanate -polyol pair are discussed in Ionescu, M., Chemistry and Technology of Polyols for Polyurethane, Smithers Rapra Press, 2008, incorporated herein by reference.
  • Polyols used to produce polyurethanes are typically in the molecular weight range of 400 to 5000 Daltons and may include the classes of polyethers and polyesters. In general, low molecular weight polyols create hard plastics while high molecular weight polyols create flexible elastomers.
  • Some important illustrative polyols include glycerine, poly(propylene oxide) glycol, castor oil, poly(ethylene adipate),
  • polycaprolactone polytetra methylene ether glycol (PTMEG), polycarbonate and VoranolTM (a polyether triol available from Dow Chemical).
  • MDI methylene-diphenyl-di-isocyanate
  • Another pair of reactants that can form a crosslinked, "scaffold- like” structure is: polyfunctional (amine) and a polyfunctional (epoxy) oligomer. See, eg. Rozenberg, B.A., Kinetics, thermodynamics and mechanism of reactions of epoxy oligomers with amines, in ADVANCES IN POLYMER SCIENCE, 1986, Volume 75/1986; pp 113-165, incorporated herein by reference.
  • the most common epoxy used in industry is diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A
  • the foamable composition may include a plasticizer.
  • Plasticizers are known to lower the glass transition temperature (T g ) of polymers and may be used to facilitate softening of the polymer colloid particles, leading to coagulation to the film.
  • Useful plasticizers have been found in the di/tri-carboxylic ester class and the benzoate ester class, although other classes may be suitable.
  • suitable plasticizers include butyl benzoate, Benzoflex ® 2088 (a benzoate ester plasticizer available from Genovique Specialties), Benzoflex ® LA-705 (a benzoate ester plasticizer available from

  • Citroflex ® 4 a tributyl citrate available from Vertellus ® Specialties.
  • the plasticizer is a benzoate ester or a citric acid ester.
  • the plasticizer may be additionally useful as a vehicle or medium for B-side dispersions, thus diluting one of the crosslinking reactants.
  • diluting a polyfunctional aziridine provides several advantages. First, the concentration of polyfunctional aziridine is lowered, reducing health risks to those in contact with it. Polyfunctional aziridine contains about 0.001% of ethyleneimine, which is a very reactive moiety, and in theory, will react with the very small level of acid impurities or water content that may be present in other components of the composition. Second, the viscosity of the B-side is reduced when the polyfunctional crosslinking reactant is diluted with the plasticizer.
  • the components of the B-side can be better mixed with the A- side to form a more homogeneous mixture.
  • the plasticizer adds volume to the B-side, allowing the two parts of the foam composition to be delivered in ratios that more closely approach 1:1, and thus they can be delivered with known spray equipment, thereby negating the need for any specialized equipment.
  • the plasticizer when used, is generally present in an amount from about 2 to about 20 percent by weight of the dry foam composition, and in exemplary embodiments, in an amount from about 2 to about 15 percent by weight. In two part dispersions, the plasticizer may be present in an amount from about 10 to about 80 percent, or from about 20 to about 60 percent by weight of the dispersion in which it is contained.
  • the presence of the plasticizer permits for the inclusion of other solid materials that may add functionality and/or cost savings to the final foamed product.
  • coagulation agents e.g. , calcium carbonate and wollastonite fibers
  • nucleating agents e.g., talc
  • foaming agents e.g., sodium bicarbonate
  • the inclusion of fillers such as wollastonite fibers helps with the stability of the cell structure after the cells have been formed. It is to be appreciated that when the plasticizer and other components in the B-side do not contain any acidic protons, the B-side is stable for extended periods of time, such as up to at least six months or more.
  • the solid colloid-forming polymer may optionally contain a
  • “colloid surfactant” that interfaces between polymer and serum to help stabilize the polymer lattice in dispersions.
  • additional surfactant and/or a secondary "film surfactant” may be added to the foamable composition.
  • the film surfactant when used, may be the same or different since it serves a different purpose. Instead of stabilizing the polymer lattice, the film surfactant interfaces between polymer and the entrained gas phase and is used to stabilize the film formation during the foaming process and to provide a high surface activity for the nucleation and stabilization of the foam cells.
  • Useful surfactants for lattice and/or film formation include cationic, anionic, amphoteric and nonionic surfactants such as, for example, carboxylate soaps such as oleates, ricinoleates, castor oil soaps and rosinates, quaternary ammonium soaps and betaines, amines and proteins, as well as alkyl sulphates, polyether sulphonate (e.g., Triton X200K available from Cognis), octylphenol ethoxylate (e.g., Triton X705 available from Cognis), disodium N-octadecyl sulfosuccinamate (e.g.

  • This scaffold-like structure supports the foam while the polymer is coagulating and hardening.
  • the previously fluid/viscous foam material is substantially immobilized by the internal scaffold-structure, which prevents the foam from collapsing before it coagulates. It is hypothesized that the use of a multifunctional acid advantageously provides for a more flexible backbone in the polymeric structure.
  • the blowing agent does not vaporize. However, as the mixture exits the gun and enters into atmospheric pressure, the blowing agent begins to vaporize just as the scaffold is forming. As the continuous serum phase vaporizes, the lattice particles necessarily become more concentrated until a point at which they destabilize, coagulate and form a film on the growing crosslinked structure. The very action of the serum phase turning to vapor forces the lattice particles together, while at the same time, it supplies the gas phase for entrainment in the polymer to from the foam.

  • One important benefit of the inventive foam composition is that the foam may be applied in cold conditions, including temperatures approaching about 20 °F, without adversely affecting the nature of the foam.
  • the spray foam of the present invention contains no water or, if water is present (such as, for example, in an additive), the water is present in only a small amount.
  • the lack of water (or small amount of water) in the spray foam means that water not is present in the foam in an amount such that it would freeze at low temperature and disrupt the quality of the foam.
  • a further benefit resulting from the lack of water in the spray foam of the present invention is that the blowing agent can vaporize quickly and leave no residue, like water, which diffuses very slowly over time.
  • Another advantage of the foams of the present invention is the safe installation of the foam into cavities. Because the foams do not release any harmful vapors into the air when applied or sprayed, the inventive foams reduce the threat of harm to individuals working with or located near the foam. In addition, the application of the foams is more amenable to the installer as he/she will not need to wear a special breathing apparatus during installation. [0082] Another advantage of the inventive foams is that it can be used in the renovation market, as well as in houses that are occupied by persons and/or animals (e.g. renovation market). Existing spray polyurethane foams cannot be used in these applications because of the generation of high amounts of free isocyanate monomers that could adversely affect the occupants of the dwelling. As discussed above, exposure of isocyanate monomers may cause irritation to the nose, throat, and lungs, difficulty in breathing, skin irritation and/or blistering, and a sensitization of the airways.

Abstract

Cette invention concerne des mousses à pulvériser formées à partir d'une composition expansible non aqueuse. Les mousses sont formées par déstabilisation d'une dispersion colloïdale d'une résine ou d'un polymère à l'état sec pour permettre au polymère coagulable de former un film à l'aide d'une structure réticulée formée par un système de réactifs de réticulation comprenant des premier et second réactifs portant de multiples groupes fonctionnels qui réticulent rapidement à température ambiante ou à une température proche de la température ambiante. Un côté A contient un polymère solide formant colloïde, un acide multifonctionnel, et un agent d'expansion liquide à titre de phase sérique non aqueuse; et un côté B contient un agent de réticulation polyfonctionnel aziridine, un plastifiant ne contenant pas de protons acides. L'agent de réticulation polyfonctionnel aziridine peut être dilué par un plastifiant, ce qui réduit la viscosité du côté B. L'absence d'eau ou la quantité faible d'eau incorporée dans la composition de mousse selon l'invention permet la pulvérisation de la mousse à des températures inférieures au point de congélation et sur une épaisseur plus importante par rapport aux compositions de mousse contenant de l'eau.
