- RF-DBL rigid faced double belt lamination
- aromatic polyester polyol refers to organic compounds having at least one conjugated ring of alternate single and double bonds, which imparts an overall stability to the compounds.
- polyol includes any minor amounts of unreacted polyol remaining after the preparation of the polyester polyol and/or unesterified polyol (for example, glycol) added after the preparation of the polyester polyol. While the aromatic polyester polyol may be prepared from substantially pure reactant materials, more complex starting materials, such as polyethylene terephthalate, may be advantageous. Other residues are dimethyl terephthalate (DMT) process residues, which are waste or scrap residues from the manufacture of DMT.
- DMT dimethyl terephthalate
- the aromatic polyester polyol may optionally contain, for example, halogen atoms and/or may be unsaturated, and may generally be prepared from the same selection of starting materials as described hereinabove, but at least one of the polyol or the polycarboxylic acid, preferably the acid, is an aromatic compound having an aromatic ring content (expressed as weight percent of groups containing at least one aromatic ring per molecule) that is at least 50% by weight, based on the total compound weight, and preferably greater than 50% by weight, i.e., it is predominantly aromatic in nature.
- Polyester polyols having an acid component that advantageously comprises at least 30% by weight of phthalic acid residues, or residues of isomers thereof, are particularly useful.
- the aromatic ring content of the aromatic polyester polyol is from 70 to 90% by weight, based on the total compound weight.
- Preferred aromatic polyester polyols are the crude polyester polyols obtained by the transesterification of crude reaction residues or scrap polyester resins.
- the aromatic polyester polyol is also characterized in that it has a hydroxyl number of at least 50 mg KOH/g and a functionality greater than 2.
- the hydroxyl number is 50-400 mg KOH/g, more preferably 150- 300 mg KOH/g and functionality greater than 2 and up to 8.
- the propoxylated sucrose- and/or propoxylated sorbitol- initiated polyol suitable for the present invention is a polyether polyol, having a molecular weight of 200- 1,500, a functionality of at least 4 and a hydroxyl number of at least 150 mg KOH/g.
- the sucrose- or sorbitol -initiated polyol has a molecular weight of 450-900, a functionality of 4-8 and a hydroxyl number of 300-550 mg KOH/g.
- Sucrose may be obtained from sugar cane or sugar beets, honey, sorghum, sugar maple, fruit, and the like. Means of extraction, separation, and preparation of the sucrose component vary depending upon the source, but are widely known and practiced on a commercial scale by those skilled in the art.
- Sorbitol may be obtained via the hydrogenation of D-glucose over a suitable hydrogenation catalyst.
- Suitable catalysts may include, for example, RaneyTM (Grace-Davison) catalysts, such as employed in Wen, Jian-Ping, et. al., "Preparation of sorbitol from D-glucose hydrogenation in gas-liquid-solid three- phase flow airlift loop reactor," The Journal of Chemical Technology and Biotechnology, vol. 4, pp. 403-406 (Wiley Interscience, 2004), incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
- Nickel-aluminum and ruthenium-carbon catalysts are just two of the many possible catalysts.
- preparation of sorbitol may begin with a starch hydrolysate which has been hydrogenated.
- the starch is a natural material derived from corn, wheat and other starch-producing plants.
- the starch polymer molecule may be broken into smaller oligomers at the ether bond between glucose rings, to produce glucose, maltose and higher molecular weight oligo- and poly-saccharides.
- the resulting molecules, having hemiacetal glucose rings as end units, may then be hydrogenated to form sorbitol, maltitol and hydrogenated oligo- and poly-saccharides.
- Hydrogenated starch hydrolysates are commercially available and inexpensive, often in the form of syrups, and provide the added benefit of being a renewable resource.
- This method may further require a separation of either the glucose, prior to hydrogenation, or of the sorbitol after hydrogenation, in order to prepare a suitable sorbitol-initiated polyol therefrom.
- the hydrogenation reduces or eliminates the end units' tendency to form the hydroxyaldehyde form of glucose. Therefore, fewer side reactions of the sorbitol, such as Aldol condensation and Cannizzaro reactions may be encountered.
- the final polyol will comprise reduced amounts of byproducts.
- the sucrose- or sorbitol-initiated polyol may be made by polymerizing alkylene oxides onto the specified initiator in the presence of a suitable catalyst.

- hydrocarbon blowing agents may be selected.
- hydrocarbon or fluorine-containing hydrohalocarbon blowing agents may be used, and in some instances may serve to reduce, or further reduce, viscosity, and thereby to enhance sprayability.
- hydrocarbons and/or non-fluorine-containing hydrohalocarbons are preferably used in an amount such that the total blowing agent, including the hydrofluorocarbon, is no more than 15 parts, more desirably no more than 12 parts, based on 100 parts of the total fully formulated polyol composition.
- An optional chemical blowing agent that may be selected is formic acid or another carboxylic acid.
- Formic acid may be used in an amount of from 0.5 to 8 parts per 100 pbw of the polyol composition. In certain non-limiting embodiments, the formic acid is present in an amount from 0.5 parts and more preferably from 1 part, up to 6 parts and more preferably to 3.5 pbw. While formic acid is the carboxylic acid of preference, it is also contemplated that minor amounts of other aliphatic mono- and polycarboxylic acids may be employed, such as those disclosed in U.S. Patent 5,143,945, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety, and including isobutyric acid, ethylbutyric acid, ethylhexanoic acid, and combinations thereof.

- a poly ol/blo wing agent component consististing essentially of, or comprising, the isocyanate reacting mixture and blow
- Additional streams may be included, as desired, for the introduction of various catalysts and other additives.
- Mixing of streams may be carried out either in a spray apparatus, a mixhead with or without a static mixer for combining the polyol component and blowing agent, or a vessel, and then spraying or otherwise depositing the reacting mixture onto a substrate.
- This substrate may be, for example, a rigid or flexible facing sheet made of foil or another material, including another layer of similar or dissimilar polyurethane which is being conveyed, continuously or discontinuously, along a production line, or directly onto a conveyor belt.
- the reacting mixture may be poured into an open mold or distributed via laydown equipment into an open mold or simply deposited at or into a location for which it is destined, i.e., a pour-in-place application, such as between the interior and exterior walls of a structure.
- a pour-in-place application such as between the interior and exterior walls of a structure.
- a second sheet may be applied on top of the deposited mixture.
- the mixture may be injected into a closed mold, with or without vacuum assistance for cavity-filling. If a mold is employed, it is most typically heated.
- the mixture on reacting, takes the shape of the mold or adheres to the substrate to produce a polyurethane polymer of a more-or-less predefined structure, which is then allowed to cure in place or in the mold, either partially or fully.
- Suitable conditions for promoting the curing of the polymer include a temperature of typically from 20°C to 150°C, preferably from 35°C to 75°C, and more preferably from 45°C to 55°C. Such temperatures will usually permit the sufficiently cured polymer to be removed from the mold, where such is used, typically within from l to io minutes and more typically within from l to 5 minutes after mixing of the reactants.
- Optimum cure conditions will depend upon the particular components, including catalysts and quantities used in preparing the polymer and also the size and shape of the article manufactured.

- the polyurethane foams prepared in the present invention may show improved processability when compared with foams from formulations and preparation methods that are similar except that the formulations do not comprise the specific isocyanate reacting mixture used in the present invention.
- the term "improved processability” refers to the capability of the foam to exhibit reduced defects, which may include but are not limited to shrinkage and deformation. This improvement may be particularly advantageous when the invention is used in the manufacture of sandwich panels. It is preferable that such reduced levels of shrinkage and deformation be less than 1.0% as linear deformation, as tested according to European Standard EN 1603 at 8o°C, with specimen dimensions recorded after 20 hours.
- Sandwich panels may be defined, in some embodiments, as comprising at least one relatively planar layer (i.e., a layer having two relatively large dimensions and one relatively small dimension) of the rigid foam, faced on each of its larger dimensioned sides with at least one layer, per such side, of flexible or rigid material, such as a foil or a thicker layer of a metal or other structure-providing material.
