Abstract
Abstract A rapid and economical method for trimerizing organic polyisocyanates by mixing an organic polyisocyanate with substituted guanidine and/or isobiguanide catalysts. The catalysts exhibit high activity, usually requiring little or no heat to induce trimerization. The trimerized polyisocyanates are especially useful in the preparation of rigid polyurethane foams.
