Abstract

Abstract A mold-release agent is provided which consists essentially of 99.9% to 80% by weight of an aromatic polyisocyanate containing at least two isocyanate groups and 0.1% to 20% by weight of a fatty acid ester, e.g., glycerol trioleate, olive oil, peanut oil, etc. A process of using the material by incorporating it in polyurethane foams is disclosed.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim 99 words
A process for the production of polyurethane foam mouldings which comprises foaming a reaction mixture which comprises (A) an aromatic polyisocyanate containing at least two isocyanate groups, (B) at least one compound containing at least two isocyanate reactive groups, (C) a foaming agent, (D) a foam stabiliser and (E) 2% to 8% by weight based on the weight of (B) of at least one processing aid which is an ester of fatty acid containing 6 to 25 carbon atoms and an aliphatic saturated alcohol containing 2 to 4 hydroxyl groups, said reaction being carried out in a closed mould.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 99 words
A process for the production of polyurethane foam mouldings which comprises foaming a reaction mixture which comprises (A) an aromatic polyisocyanate containing at least two isocyanate groups, (B) at least one compound containing at least two isocyanate reactive groups, (C) a foaming agent, (D) a foam stabiliser and (E) 2% to 8% by weight based on the weight of (B) of at least one processing aid which is an ester of fatty acid containing 6 to 25 carbon atoms and an aliphatic saturated alcohol containing 2 to 4 hydroxyl groups, said reaction being carried out in a closed mould.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 20 words
A process according to claim 1 in which the weight of processing aid is between 3% and 5% by weight.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 14 words
A process according to claim 1 in which the processing aid is glycerol trioleate.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 24 words
A process according to claim 1 in which the processing aid is selected from olive oil, rape seed oil, coconut oil, and peanut oil.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 20 words
A process according to claim 1 in which the foaming agent (C) is water and/or a low boiling halolower alkane.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 15 words
A process according to claim 5 in which the foaming agent comprises water and trichlorofluoromethane.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 13 words
A moulded article whenever produced by a process as claimed in claim 1.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 13 words
A process as in claim 1 wherein the ester is a synthetic ester.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 33 words
A mixture consisting essentially of 99.9% to 80% by weight of an aromatic polyisocyanate containing at least two isocyanate groups and 0.1% to 20% by weight of glycerol trioleate as a processing aid.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 33 words
A mixture consisting essentially of 99.9% to 80% by weight of an aromatic polyisocyanate containing at least two isocyanate groups and 0.1% to 20% by weight of glycerol trioleate as a processing aid.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim 20 words
A mixture according to claim 9 in which the mixture comprises between 2% and 8% by weight of glycerol trioleate.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim 20 words
A mixture according to claim 10 in which the mixture comprises between 3% and 5% by weight of glycerol trioleate.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim 15 words
A mixture as in claim 9 in which the glycerol trioleate is synthetic glycerol trioleate.
