Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A process of making a polyurethane or polyisocyanurate foam comprises the step of mixing under low pressure: (A) An isocyanate; (B) A compound reactive with the isocyanate, e.g., a polyol; (C) A liquid blowing agent; and (D) Carbon dioxide.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A process of making a polyurethane or polyisocyanurate foam, the process comprising the step of mixing under a low pressure of from 0.7 to 2.1 MPa: (A) an isocyanate; (B) a compound reactive with the isocyanate; (C) a liquid blowing agent; and (D) gaseous carbon dioxide, wherein components (A), (B), (C) and (D) are mixed within a low pressure impingement mixer, and components (A), (B), (C) and (D) are mixed without a static mixer. 2. The process of claim 1 in which the compound reactive with the isocyanate is a polyol. 3. The process of claim 1 in which the liquid blowing agent is a hydrocarbon blowing agent. 4. The process of claim 1 in which the gaseous carbon dioxide is first mixed with each of components (A) and (B) before components (A) and (B) are mixed with one another. 5. The process of claim 1 in which all of components (A), (B), (C) and (D) are mixed with one another simultaneously. 6. The process of claim 1 in which the weight ratio of gaseous carbon dioxide to the liquid blowing agent is from 60:40 to 40:60. 7. The process of claim 6 in which the liquid blowing agent is a hydrocarbon blowing agent.
