Tertiary amine modified polyurethane products made therefrom

A process for the production of a polyurethane product by reaction of a mixture of

• (a) at least one organic polyisocyanate with
• (b) a polyol composition comprising
• (b1) from 0 to 99 percent by weight of a polyol compound having a functionality of 2 to 8 and a hydroxyl number of from 20 to 800 and
• (b2) from 1 to 100 percent by weight of at least one polyol compound having a functionality of 1 to 12, a hydroxyl number of from 20 to 800 and containing at least one tertiary amine group,
• wherein the weight percent is based on the total amount of polyol composition (b), (b1) is different than (b2) and (b2) is one or more of:
• polyol (b2a) obtained by the reactions of a polyol of (b 1) type with a polyepoxide and an amine based molecule wherein the amine-base molecule is a secondary amine or a molecule containing at least one tertiary nitrogen and at least one reactive hydrogen able to react with the epoxide group;
• polyol (b2b) obtained by the reactions of a polyol of (b1) type with an epihalohydrin and an amine based molecule wherein the amine based molecule is a secondary amine or a molecule containing at least one tertiary nitrogen and at least one reactive hydrogen able to react with the product of the polyol (b1) an epihalohydrin group;
• or polyol (b2c) obtained by reaction of a polyol made from epihalohydrin as a co-monomer together with propylene oxide and/or ethylene oxide and an amine based molecule wherein the amine based molecule is a secondary amine or a molecule containing at least one tertiary nitrogen and at least one reactive hydrogen able to react with a haloalkyl;
• or polyol (b2d) obtained by grafting of tertiary amine functions to a conventional polyol of (b1) type by functional azo and/or peroxide initiator;
• or polyol (b2e) obtained by grafting of tertiary amine functions onto a polyol of (b1) type via reactive functionality such as sulfonyl azide;
• or (b2) is (b2f) a hydroxyl-tipped prepolymer obtained from the reaction of an excess of (b2a)-(b2e) or a mixture thereof with a polyisocyanate;
• or (b2) is (b2g) a blend of several polyols (b1) modified with one or more polyepoxides and/or polyol (b2) blended with one or more types of amine initiated polyols containing each at least one reactive hydrogen or a blend of (b2a) and/or (b2b) and/or (b2c) and/or (b2d) and/or (b2e);
• (c) optionally in the presence of a blowing agent;
• and
• (d) optionally additives or auxiliary agents known per se for the production of polyurethane foams, elastomers and/or coatings.
