Provided is a method for manufacturing a porous midsole the method including: a cotton-beating step (S1) of forming a midsole base (10) having porous voids 16 by mixing low melting fibers (12) and high melting fibers (14); and a thermoforming step (S2) of bonding and fixing the high melting fibers into a compressed state by the melt adhesive strength of the low melting fibers (12) by compressively thermoforming the midsole base (10) at a melting point temperature of the low melting fibers (12).

A compound of formula (I) having advantageous properties when used as a latent curing agent for compositions containing isocyanate groups, and to compositions containing the compound of formula (I). The compound of formula (I) is odourless, is liquid and has comparatively low viscosity at room temperature and is stable in storage together with isocyanates. It makes possible odourless single-component polyurethane compositions which have good stability in storage, do not produce bubbles when cured in the presence of moisture, and cause no problematic odour emissions, giving a cured elastic material having good mechanical properties, good heat stability, a surprisingly non-adhesive surface and little tendency towards plasticizer migration.

The present invention relates to a process for the effective removal of residual monomeric aliphatic isocyanate from a reaction mixture comprising aliphatic polyisocyanate comprising (i) providing a reactor containing a scavenger comprising a zeolitic material, wherein the zeolitic material comprises SiO.sub.2 and optionally X.sub.2O.sub.3 in its framework structure, wherein X is a trivalent element; (ii) providing a reaction mixture comprising aliphatic polyisocyanate and monomeric aliphatic isocyanate; (iii) contacting the scavenger in the reactor with the reaction mixture provided in (ii) at a temperature lower than the boiling point of the residual monomeric aliphatic isocyanate for obtaining a product comprising aliphatic polyisocyanate with a reduced monomeric aliphatic isocyanate content, wherein if the zeolitic material comprises X.sub.2O.sub.3, the zeolitic material has an SiO.sub.2 to X.sub.2O.sub.3 molar ratio higher than 2.8:1, preferably higher than 5:1, more preferably higher than 30:1.

A binder has at least one isocyanate and at least one biopolymer mixed with water. The biopolymer may be a biopolymer nanoparticle or cooked and chemically modified starch. Optionally, the binder may also include urea. The biopolymer and water are mixed, and the isocyanate is added to the mixture. The binder may have a viscosity that is suitable for being sprayed on a substrate to make a composite material, for example a viscosity of 700 cP or less or 500 cP or less at 40° C. The substrate may be wood, another lignocellulosic material, or synthetic or natural fibers. In particular examples, the binder is used to make no added formaldehyde wood composites including particle board and fiberboard. Alternatively, the binder may have a higher viscosity and be used to make plywood.
