Aminopolyol stabilizers

A method of preparing a dispersion of a polymer in a polyol or combination of polyols, the method comprising copolymerizing an amine and an isocyanate in a polyol or combination of polyols in the presence of a sufficient amount of a compound having the formula:

• ##STR11## wherein A and A' are individually connective atoms which may be same or different, and are selected from the group consisting of carbon and oxygen or combinations thereof with hydrogen atoms or the like satisfying the valences;
• B is a member selected from the group consisting of nitrogen, NR, R being alkyl or aryl, or CR', R' being hydrogen, alkyl or aryl;
• D is a member selected from the group consisting of ##STR12## wherein a has a value of one to four;
• X is a member selected from the group consisting of OH, NH.sub.2 or H;
• X' is a member selected from the group consisting of H or NHR' where R' is hydrogen, alkyl or aryl;
• n and d are individually integers of 0 to 10and the sum of n and d is at least one and does not exceed 10;
• s is either 0 or 1;
• y is an integer of 0 to 4;
• and m is an integer of at least about 16, with the proviso that when B is nitrogen and either n or d is zero, X and X' are not both H;
• said compound being present in an amount sufficient to reduce the size of the solid polymer particles whereby phase separation is substantially inhibited and a stable dispersion is produced.

In a dispersion composition containing a polymer dispersed in a polyol or combination of polyols, the improvement which comprises:

• said polymer comprising an amine and an isocyanate which are copolymerized in the presence of a sufficient amount of a compound having the formula:
• ##STR13## wherein A and A' are individually connective atoms which may be same or different, and are selected from the group consisting of carbon and oxygen or combinations thereof with hydrogen atoms or the like satisfying the valences;
• B is a member selected from the group consisting of nitrogen, NR, R being alkyl or aryl, or CR', R' being hydrogen, alkyl or aryl;
• D is a member selected from the group consisting of ##STR14## wherein a has a value of one to four;
• X is a member selected from the group consisting of OH, NH.sub.2, or H;
• X' is a member selected from the group consisting of H or NHR' where R' is hydrogen, alkyl or aryl;
• n and d are individually integers of 0 to 10 and the sum of n and d is at least one and does not exceed 10:
• s is either 0 or 1;
• y is an integer of 0 to 4;
• and m is an integer of at least about 16, with the proviso that when B is nitrogen and either n or d is zero, X and X' are not both H;
• said compound being present in an amount sufficient to reduce the size of the solid polymer particles whereby phase separation is substantially inhibited and a stable dispersion is produced.
