A blocked isocyanate can be added to materials that would normally react with the isocyanate such as polyols.They do not react at normal ambient room temperature. A formulation containing a blocked isocyanate is a single component material (and thus usually considered more convenient) but reacts like a two-component product but will not react until heated to the temperature required for ...
The polyol pathway is a two-step process that converts glucose to fructose. [1] In this pathway glucose is reduced to sorbitol, which is subsequently oxidized to fructose. It is also called the sorbitol-aldose reductase pathway. The pathway is implicated in diabetic complications, especially in microvascular damage to the retina, [2] kidney, [3 ...
The isocyanate functional group. In organic chemistry, isocyanate is the functional group with the formula R−N=C=O. Organic compounds that contain an isocyanate group are referred to as isocyanates. An organic compound with two isocyanate groups is known as a diisocyanate.
Spray foam (expanding foam in the UK) is a chemical product created by a chemical reaction of two component parts, commonly referred to as side A and side B. [1] Side A contains very reactive chemicals known as isocyanate. Side B contains a polyol, which reacts with isocyanates to make polyurethane, and a mixture of other chemicals, including ...
The flexible polyurethane foam (FPUF) is produced from the reaction of polyols and isocyanates, a process pioneered in 1937. [7] Depending on the application the foam will be used for, a series of additives are necessary to produce high-quality PU foam products. FPUF is a versatile material that can be tailored to exhibit different properties.
A polyurethane is typically produced by reacting a polymeric isocyanate with a polyol. [3] Since a polyurethane contains two types of monomers, which polymerize one after the other, they are classed as alternating copolymers. Both the isocyanates and polyols used to make a polyurethane contain two or more functional groups per molecule.
Chain initiation is the initial generation of a chain carrier, which is an intermediate such as a radical or an ion which can continue the reaction by chain propagation. Initiation steps are classified according to the way that energy is provided: thermal initiation, high energy initiation, and chemical initiation, etc. Thermal initiation uses ...
R-45HTLO has a functionality of 2.4-2.6, which means that there is (approximately) one additional hydroxyl group located along the chain for every two oligomeric units. This provides side-to-side linkage for a stronger cured product. HTPB is usually cured by an addition reaction with di- or poly-isocyanate compounds.
