Abstract
Abstract The present invention relates to the production in closed molds, of foams with outstanding mold-release properties. These improved properties are obtained by including in the foamable mixture salts of saturated or unsaturated aliphatic or cycloaliphatic carboxylic acids having at least 8 carbon atoms and tertiary amines of the type in which the atom ratio of tertiary amine nitrogen to carbon in the molecule is between 1:3 and 1:12.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
153 words
In a process for the production of mold-formed foam having an impervious outer skin with self-releasing properties, said process comprising: (A) introducing a foamable reaction mixture into a closed mold, said mixture consisting essentially of: (i) an organic polyisocyanate, (ii) a compound having reactive hydrogen atoms and having a molecular weight of from 62 to 10,000, (iii) water and/or organic blowing agents, (iv) an isocyanate addition catalyst, and (v) an internal mold release agent, (B) allowing said foamable reaction mixture to foam in said mold, and (C) removing the resultant product from said mold, the improvement wherein said mold release agent consists of salts of saturated or unsaturated aliphatic or cycloaliphatic, carboxylic acids having at least 8 carbon atoms and tertiary amines of the type in which the atom ratio of the tertiary amine nitrogen to carbon in the molecule is between 1:3 and 1:12 and being devoid of amide or ester linkages.

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
23 words
A process as claimed in claim 1, wherein monocarboxylic acids with from 12 to 18 carbon atoms are used as the carboxylic acids.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
24 words
A process as claimed in claim 1, wherein oleic acid or commercial-grade fatty acid mixtures containing oleic acid are used as the carboxylic acids.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
27 words
A process as claimed in claim 1, wherein esters of ricinoleic acid and monocarboxylic acids with more than 12 carbon atoms are used as the carboxylic acids.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
35 words
A process as claimed in claim 1, wherein tertiary amines in which the atom ratio of tertiary amine nitrogen to carbon in the molecule is between 1:3 and 1:9, are used as the tertiary amines.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
31 words
A process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the amount of said salt added is from 0.1 to 15 percent by weight based on the total weight of the reaction mixture.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
