Abstract
Described is a process for producing unique reaction products from DMT process residue. In the process of this invention DMT process residue is reacted with an excess of dipropylene glycol to give normally liquid, aromatic polyester polyols which are compatible with Freon 11 blowing agent and with glycerol and hence have outstanding utility in the production of blown polyurethane and polyisocyanurate-polyurethane foams.
Claims2
The reaction product produced by reacting DMT process residue with a quantity of dipropylene glycol or a mixture thereof with up to 50% by weight of one or more different glycols, in moles, in excess of the number of equivalents of available acid and methyl ester present in said residue, as determined by the acid number and the methoxyl content of said residue.
