Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Technical Field of the Invention
This invention relates to Mannich condensates useful in the manufacture of rigid polyurethane foam. More particularly, this invention relates to modified Mannich condensates, to the manufacture from their propoxylation products, and to the synthesis therefrom of rigid polyurethane foams having improved fire retardancy properties. The invention is based upon the discovery that unique polyols are provided when melamine is reacted with formaldehyde in the presence of a particular class of Mannich condensates to provide a reaction product that is then alkoxylated with propylene oxide.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In one aspect, the present invention is directed to polyols prepared by alkoxylating a reaction product prepared by reacting melamine with formaldehyde in admixture with a particular class of Mannich condensates prepared from a phenol, formaldehyde and diethanolamine.
In another aspect of the present invention, a modified polyol based upon a Mannich condensate, as just described, is reacted with an organic polyisocyanate in the presence of a blowing agent, a catalyst, and other appropriate components, in order to manufacture a rigid polyurethane foam having improved fire retardancy properties.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The Modified Polyol
The principal components of the present invention are melamine, formaldehyde, a Mannich condensate of a phenol, formaldehyde and diethanolamine and propylene oxide. A minor amount of ethylene oxide may also be used, if desired.
The phenolic compound to be employed in accordance with the present invention is a phenol having a hydrogen atom on one or more of the ring positions ortho and para to the hydroxyl group and which is otherwise unsubstituted or substituted with a C1-C2 straight chain or branched chain alkyl group. Representative compounds include phenol, methylphenol, ethylphenol, propylphenyl, hexylphenol, nonylphenol, dodecylphenol, etc.
The phenolic compound is reacted with formaldehyde and diethanolamine to form a Mannich condensate. Formaldehyde may be employed in its conventional form, as an aqueous formalin solution, in "inhibited" methanol solution, as paraformaldehyde, or as trioxane.
For example, the Mannich reaction is conducted by premixing the phenolic compound with a desired amount of the diethanolamine and then slowly adding formaldehyde to the mixture at a temperature below the temperature of Novolak formation (a temperature that will vary with the phenolic compound employed and is a temperature of less than about 45.degree. C. when phenol itself is employed).
At the end of the reaction, water is stripped from the reaction mixture to provide thereby a crude Mannich reaction product. Although it is within the scope of the present invention to separate the crude reaction product by conventional means into specific components or fractions, it is a feature of the present invention that the entire crude Mannich reaction product may be used as such without isolation of individual components thereof. In accordance with the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the entire crude Mannich reaction product is used.
In accordance with the present invention, from about 3 to about 10% by weight of melamine is mixed with a Mannich condensate as just described and then from about 1 to about 6 mols of formaldehyde, based on the melamine are reacted with this mixture at a temperature of about 80.degree. to about 150.degree. C. for about 1 to 5 hours to form a modified reaction product. This reaction product is then alkoxylated with propylene oxide or with propylene oxide and ethylene oxide. The alkylene oxide component may suitably comprise 100% to about 90% propylene oxide and 0 to about 20 wt.% ethylene oxide and may comprise about 20% to about 50% of the alkoxylation product.
The alkoxylation with propylene oxide is simply carried out by introducing the propylene oxide, preferably under pressure, into a vessel containing the modified Mannich reaction product. No added catalyst is needed since the basic nitrogen in this product provides sufficient catalytic activity to promote the reaction. Temperatures between about 30.degree. C. and about 200.degree. C. may be employed but the preferred temperatures are in the range of about 90.degree. to 120.degree. C. Under these conditions the phenolic hydroxyl group and the alkanol amino hydroxyls are reactive to form hydroxypropyl groups. The final condensation products are separated from unreacted and partially reacted materials by vacuum stripping and are obtained as clear amber to brown liquids having hydroxyl numbers in the range of 400 to 550 and viscosities between about 10,000 and 45,000 centipoises at 25.degree. C.
The final condensation product is cooled and, if necessary, filtered to remove excess undissolved melamine.
MANUFACTURE OF RIGID POLYURETHANE FOAM
The physical components utilized for the manufacture of a rigid polyurethane foam are the polyols, an organic polyisocyanate, a blowing agent, a surfactant, a catalyst and suitable fire retardants and other additives.
The polyol component in the present invention comprises a modified propoxylated Mannich condensate as just described used alone or in admixture with from about 10 to about 60 parts by weight of a polyoxypropylene polyol having hydroxyl number between 200 and 800, preferably, between 300 and 700 and more preferably between about 400 and about 600, and a functionality of 2 to 6, and preferably from about 3 to 6.
Normally, propylene oxide will constitute from about 15 to about 95 wt.% of the total polyol composition, up to about 10 wt.% of ethylene oxide may be utilized if desired, based on the weight of the propylene oxide.
A wide variety of initiators may be alkoxylated to form useful polyoxypropylene polyols. Thus, for example, polyfunctional amines and alcohols of the following type may be alkoxylated: monoethanolamine, diethanolamine, triethanolamine, ethylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, propylene glycol, polypropylene glycol, glycerine, sorbitol, and trimethylolpropane.
Such above amines or alcohols may be reacted with an alkylene oxide such as ethylene oxide, propylene oxide, or mixed ethylene oxide and propylene oxide using techniques known to those skilled in the art. Thus, for example, the reaction of alkylene oxides with initiators of this type is set forth in U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,948,757 and 3,000,963. Essentially such alkoxylations are carried out in the presence of a basic catalyst at a temperature sufficient to sustain the reaction. The hydroxyl number which is desired for the finished polyol will determine the amount of alkylene oxide used to react with the initiator. The oxypropylene polyol may be prepared by reacting the initiator with propylene oxide or ethylene oxide, or by reacting the initiator first with propylene oxide followed by ethylene oxide or vice versa in one or more sequences to give a so-called block polymer chain or by reacting the initiator with a mixture of propylene oxide and ethylene oxide to achieve a random distribution of such alkylene oxides. As noted above, the polyoxypropylene polyols useful here have a hydroxyl number ranging from about 200 to about 800. The reaction mixture is then neutralized and water and excess reactants are stripped from the polyol.
Any aromatic polyisocyanate may be used in the practice of the instant invention. Typical aromatic polyisocyanates include m-phenylene diisocyanate, p-phenylene diisocyanate, polymethylene polyphenylisocyanate, 2,4-toluene diisocyanate, 2,6-tolylene diisocyanate, dianisidine diisocyanate, bitolylene diisocyanate, naphthalene-1,4-diisocyanate, diphenylene-4,4'-diisocyanate, aliphatic-aromatic diisocyanates, such as xylylene-1,4-diisocyanate, xylylene-1,2-diisocyanate, xylylene-1,3-diisocyanate, bis(4-isocyanatophenyl) methane, bis(3-methyl-4-isocyanatophenyl) methane, and 4,4'-diphenylpropane diisocyanate.
Preferred aromatic polyisocyanates used in the practice of the invention are methylene-bridged polyphenyl polyisocyanate mixtures which have a functionality of from about 2 to about 4. These latter isocyanate compounds are generally produced by the phosgenation of corresponding methylene bridged polyphenyl polyamines, which are conventionally produced by the reaction of formaldehyde and primary aromatic amines, such as aniline, in the presence of hydrochloric acid and/or other acidic catalysts. Known processes for preparing the methylene-bridged polyphenyl polyamines and corresponding methylene-bridged polyphenyl polyisocyanates therefrom are described in the literature and in many patents, for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,683,730; 2,950,263; 3,012,008; 3,344,162; and 3,362,979.
The more preferred methylene-bridged polyphenyl polyisocyanate mixtures used here contain from about 20 to about 100 wt.% methylene diphenyl diisocyanate isomers with the remainder being polymethylene polyphenyl diisocyanates having higher functionalities and higher molecular weights. Typical of these are polyphenyl polyisocyanate mixtures containing about 20 to 100 wt.% methylene diphenyl diisocyanate isomers, of which 20 to about 95 wt.% thereof is the 4,4'-isomer with the remainder being polymethylene polyphenyl polyisocyanates of higher molecular weight and functionality that have an average functionality of from about 2.1 to about 3.5. The isocyanate mixtures are known materials and can be prepared, for example, by the process described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,362,979, issued Jan. 9, 1968 to Floyd E. Bentley.
In the production of rigid polyurethane foams in the practice of the invention, other known additives are necessary. One such constituent is the blowing agent. Some examples of such materials are trichloromonofluoromethane, dichlorodifluoromethane, dichloromonofluoromethane, 1,1-dichloro-1-fluoromethane, 1,1-difluoro-1,2,2-trichloroethane, chloropentafluoroethane, and the like. Other useful blowing agents including low-boiling hydrocarbons such as butane, pentane, hexane, cyclohexane, and the like. See U.S. Pat. No. 3,072,582, for example.
The catalysts which may be used to make the foams are well known. There are two general types of catalyst, tertiary amines and organo-metallic compounds. Examples of suitable tertiary amines, used either individually or in mixture, are the N-alkylmorpholines, N-alkylalkanolamines, N,N-dialkylcyclohexylamines and alkylamines where the alkyl groups are methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, etc. Examples of specific tertiary amine catalysts useful in my invention are triethylenediamine, tetramethylethylenediamine, triethylamine, tripropylamine, tributylamine, triamylamine, pyridine, quinoline, dimethylpiperazine, dimethylhexahydroaniline, dimethylpiperazine, N-ethylmorpholine, dimethylaniline, nicotine, dimethylaminoethanol, tetramethylpropanediamine, and methyltriethylenediamine. Organo-metallic compounds useful as catalysts include those of bismuth, lead, tin, titanium, iron, antimony, uranium, cadmium, cobalt, thorium, aluminum, mercury, zinc, nickel, cerium, molybdenum, vanadium, copper, manganese, zirconium, etc. Some examples of these metal catalysts include bismuth nitrate, lead 2-ethylhexoate, lead benzoate, lead oleate, dibutyltin dilaurate, tributyltin, butyltin trichloride, stannic chloride, stannous octoate, stannous oleate, dibutyltin di(2-ethylhexoate), ferric chloride, antimony trichloride, antimony glycolate, tin glycolates, etc. Selection of the individual catalysts and proportions to use in the polyurethane reaction are well within the knowledge of those skilled in the art, and an amine and organo-metallic compound are often used together in the polyurethane reaction.
Conventional formulation ingredients are also employed, such as, for example, foam stabilizers also known as silicone oils or emulsifiers. The foam stabilizer may be an organic silane or siloxane. For example, compounds may be used having the formula:
wherein R is an alkyl group containing from 1 to 4 carbon atoms; n is an integer of from 4 to 8; m is an integer of 20 to 40; and the oxyalkylene groups are derived from propylene oxide and ethylene oxide. See, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 3,194,773.
The flame retardancy of the polyurethane composition can be enhanced by using known fire retardants. Examples of suitable flame retardants are: tris(1,3-dichloropropyl)phosphate, tris(2,3-dibromopropyl)phosphate, 2,2-bis(chloromethyl)-1,3 propylene bis[-di(2-chloroethyl)phosphate], tris(2-chloroethyl)phosphate, tris(2-chloropropyl)phosphate, bis(dichloropropyl)tribromopentyl phosphate, tetrakis(2-chloroethyl)ethylene diphosphate (sold by Olin Chemicals as THERMOLIN.RTM.101), FYROL.RTM.EFF (oligomeric chloroalkyl phosphate, sold by Stauffer Chemical Co.), tricresyl phosphate, cresyl diphenyl phosphate, chlorinated paraffin, and brominated paraffin. Halogenated phosphates are preferred flame retardants in the practice of this invention, especially tris(1,3-dichloropropyl)phosphate, tris(2-chloroethyl)phosphate, FYROL.RTM.EFF, and tetrakis(2-chloroethyl)ethylene disphosphate. Although a single flame retardant is preferred from the standpoint of simplicity of formulation, mixtures of two or more of the same type or of different types may be found to give improved performance in some cases, and such mixtures are included in the scope of this invention. The amount of flame retardant can be varied over a wide range of from about 20 to about 60 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of polyol in the reaction mixture. It is preferred to use from about 20 to about 40 parts by weight.
The rigid polyurethane foams prepared here can be made in one step by reacting all the ingredients together at once (one-shot process) or the rigid foams can be made by the so-called "quasi-prepolymer method". In accordance with this method, a portion of the polyol component is reacted in the absence of a catalyst with the polyisocyanate component in proportion so as to provide from about 20 percent to about 40 percent of free isocyanato groups in the reaction product, based on the polyol. To prepare foam, the remaining portion of the polyol is added and the two components are allowed to react in the presence of a catalyst and other appropriate additives such as blowing agents, foam stabilizing agents, fire retardants, etc. The blowing agent, the foam stabilizing agent, the fire retardant, etc., may be added to either the prepolymer or remaining polyol, or both, prior to the mixing of the component, whereby at the end of the reaction a rigid polyurethane foam is provided.
