Abstract
The present invention is directed to the discovery that a specific combination of HCFC-141b, certain perfluorinated compounds and carbon black significantly improve the insulating capacity of isocyanate-based foams when compared to foams made without all three ingredients.
Claims2
A closed cell, rigid polymer foam which comprises the reaction product of a polyisocyanate and an isocyanate-reactive compound in the presence of
- a) from 5.0 to 20.0% by weight of dichlorofluoroethane,
- b) from 0.1 to 5.0% by weight of a fluorinated blowing agent selected from the group consisting of
- i) perfluorinated aliphatic and cycloaliphatic hydrocarbons,
- ii) perfluorinated N-aliphatic, cyclic 1,3-or 1,4-amino ethers,
- iii) perfluorinated ethers,
- iv) perfluorinated tertiary alkylamines, and
- c) from 0.1 to 12% by weight of carbon black, with all of the percents by weight being based upon the total weight of the foam.
