Solvent‐blown, rigid urethane foams from low cost castor oil‐polyol mixtures

Abstract: The preparation of solvent‐blown rigid urethane foams from low cost castor oil‐polyol mixtures was investigated. Solutions of triisopropanolamine, and of mixtures of triisopropanolamine and triethanolamine in castor oil, were used as the polyol component of these foams. Foams were prepared by reacting these polyol mixtures, in the presence of catalyst, surfactant, and trichlorofluoromethane, with prepolymers prepared from toluenediisocyanate and certain polyether polyols or mixtures of these polyether polyols … Show more

“…The disadvantages of castor oil include: low hydroxyl number leading to low modulus material sluggish rate of curing of secondary hydroxyl groups [9], and structural irregularity due to steric hindrances offered by the long pendant fatty acid chains during polyurethane formation, resulting in low tear strength [17]. To offset these disadvantages, castor oil is either mixed with other polymers to form interpenetrating networks [18][19][20][21] or transesterified or alcoholyzed with polyhydroxy alcohols, most commonly by glycerol and trimethylol propane [22][23][24]. Although a lot of work has been done on castor oil-based polyurethane, little work has been reported on castor oil=trimethylol propane transesterified products and their use for polyurethane production.…”
