Abstract
Process for making rigid polyurethane or urethane-modified polyisocyanurate foams comprising the step of reacting an organic polyisocyanate composition with an isocyanate-reactive composition comprising a polyester polyol in the presence of an amine catalyst characterized in that the pKa of the conjugated ammonium salt of said amine is less than 12.
Claims8
Process for making rigid polyurethane or urethane-modified polyisocyanurate foams comprising:
- reacting an organic polyisocyanate composition with an isocyanate reactive composition in the presence of
- a blowing agent;
- 0.05-5 wt %, relative to the weight of the isocyanate reactive composition, of a first tertiary amine catalyst;
- and
- 0.01-5 wt %, relative to the weight of the isocyanate reactive composition, of a second tertiary amine catalyst;
- wherein said first catalyst is selected from the group consisting of 2,2′-dimorpholinodiethylether, 1-methylimidazole, and 4-dimethylaminopyridine,
- wherein said second catalyst has a pKa above 12,
- and
- wherein said isocyanate reactive composition comprises, relative to the total weight of isocyanate-reactive compounds, at least 10 wt % of polyester polyol.
