Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards foam formulations that include a high functionality polyether polyol, an aromatic polyether polyol, an amine initiated aliphatic polyether polyol, and a diol.

Provided is a polyol composition which has good dispersion stability of a polyuria resin contained therein and maintains a uniform appearance over time as well as during the production, and which can be reacted with polyisocyanate to obtain a polyurethane foam having excellent flame retardancy. The present invention pertains to a polyol composition that is used as a raw material for a polyurethane foam containing a urea group-containing reaction product having a compound (A), which has two primary amino groups and at least one polyalkyleneoxy chain (a) in the molecule, and a polyisocyanate (B) as essential raw materials, and being obtained by reacting the primary amino groups of the (A) with the isocyanate groups of the (B), wherein the polyalkyleneoxy chain (a) is a chain to which 1-100 moles of a C2-4 alkylene oxide have been added.

A two-part polyurethane adhesive exhibits excellent adhesion to low surface energy substrates such as polypropylene. The adhesive consists of a polyol component and a polyisocyanate component that are combined and cured to form the adhesive bond. The polyol component is characterized in containing a monoalcohol that has a molecular weight of 100 to 2000. The presence of the monoalcohol promotes strong bonding and a cohesive failure mode that is preferred in vehicular applications.

Acoustic dampeners, methods of making acoustic dampener, and uses thereof are described. The acoustic dampener includes a polymer foam article; and a metal-organic framework portion. The metal-organic framework portion comprises a metal-organic framework in a polymer matrix. The metal-organic framework portion is adhered to, or otherwise coupled to or included with, the polymer foam article. Such an acoustic dampener can be used in a computer equipment cabinet.

A composition kit for preparing a polyurethane foam and a preparation method and applications thereof are provided. The composition kit for preparing a polyurethane foam includes a first component and a second component. The first component and the second component are disposed in different containers respectively. The first component includes an organic isocyanate and a low boiling point foaming agent. The second component includes a polyol composition, a high boiling point foaming agent, a composite catalyst, water, and a silicone oil.

Polyol premixes are described that are suitable for use in the preparation of polyurethane foam-forming reaction mixtures. These foam-forming reaction mixtures can produce closed-celled polyurethane foams exhibit a low level of water absorption. Also described are various uses of such reaction mixtures, including injecting the reaction mixture beneath at least a portion of an earth-supported structure and allowing the polyurethane foam-forming reaction mixture to react and form a closed-celled, rigid polyurethane foam beneath the earth-supported structure.

The invention generally pertains to the use of polyurethane foam blown by at least one blowing agent having a boiling point at atmospheric pressure of between ˜−50° C. to less than ˜5° C., including miscible blends thereof, which passes all United States Coast Guard Title 33, Part 183 specifications wherein the buoyant force of the froth polyurethane or polyisocyanurate foam is not reduced more than 5% after exposure to being immersed in a fully saturated gasoline vapor atmosphere, in reference fuel B, in reference oil No. 2, and in a 5% solution of Na.sub.3PO.sub.4.

A pour-in-place polyurethane insulation foam composition is disclosed herein. The polyurethane insulation foam comprises: (i) an isocyanate compound; (ii) an isocyanate reactive compound; (iii) water; (iv) a heterocyclic amine compound; (v) a hydrophilic carboxylic acid compound; (vi) a halogenated olefin compound; and (vii) optionally, other additives.

Disclosed are polyol premix compositions, and foams formed therefrom, which comprise a combination of a hydrohaloolefin blowing agent, a polyol, a silicone surfactant, and a catalyst system that includes a bismuth-based metal catalyst. Such catalysts may be used alone or in combination with an amine catalyst and/or other non-amine catalysts.

The present invention relates to a rigid polyurethane foam system, comprising the following components: A) isocyanate reactive components; B) an organic polyisocyanate; C) a flame retardant; D) catalyst package; and E) chemical foaming agent. The rigid polyurethane foam system according to the present invention has good flowability, panel material adhesion and flame retardancy, which makes it very suitable for the manufacture of dis-continuous panels, in particular reefer containers.
