Polymer polyols (PMPOs), processes for their production, and the use of such PMPOs, particularly in the production of flexible polyurethane foams. The PMPOs are produced using an ethylenically unsaturated composition that includes a crosslinker that results in crosslinks in the PMPO polymer particles that may decompose when exposed to flame temperatures. The PMPOs is capable of providing a flexible polyurethane foam that may exhibit combustibility resistance properties.

The present invention relates to the synthesis of polymer polyols in unsaturated polyols as liquid phase, polymer polyols and their use.

The present invention relates to reaction products containing urethane groups and urea groups, containing at least one species of general formula (I), to a method for producing said reaction products, to the use of said reaction products as wetting agents, dispersants, dispersion stabilizers, and/or adhesion promoters, and to compositions that contain the reaction products containing urethane groups and urea groups.

Polymer polyols are made by polymerizing an ethylenically unsaturated monomer in a continuous polyol phase. The polymerization is stabilized with a macromer or a pre-formed polymer made by polymerizing or copolymerizing the macromer. The macromer is a random polymer of propylene oxide and ethylene oxide in defined ratios, which also contains polymerization carbon-carbon double or triple bond. Polymer polyols made in the process exhibit little viscosity rise when blended with water. Flexible polyurethane foam made from the polymer polyol exhibits excellent hardness, have good surface characteristics and, when pigmented, exhibit good, uniform coloration.

A polymeric stabilizer is produced by copolymerizing an unsaturated polyether with an unsaturated low molecular weight monomer in a controlled radical polymerization. The polymeric stabilizer is useful for producing polymer polyol products via a mechanical dispersion process or an in situ polymerization process.

The invention relates to the use polymers obtained by polymerization of ethylenically unsaturated acids or anhydrides onto unsaturation-containing polyether polyols for producing polyol dispersions by acidolysis of polyurethane waste, as well as to the use of the resulting polyol dispersions for producing polyurethanes.

Processes for preparing a polymer polyol (PMPO) in which a base polyol is continuously produced in a continuous base polyol reactor, the base polyol is continuously discharged from the continuous base polyol reactor; the base polyol is continuously introduced to a continuous PMPO reactor, which is different from the continuous base polyol reactor, and PMPO is continuously removed from the PMPO reactor. Production plant configured to carry out such processes are also described.

This invention relates to a stabilizer for polymer polyol production processes, its production and use.

This invention relates to a continuous process for making a polymer polyol, the polymer polyol produced according to the said process and its applications.
