  • wherein:
      • R: represents a hydrocarbyl moiety selected from alkyl and cycloalkyl, radicals,
      • and
      • R1 represents a hydrocarbyl moiety selected from alkyl, cycloalkyl, arakyl, and aryl radicals,

  • When a catalyst stopper is desired or necessary, a compound which is an acidic material is typically used. Suitable examples of catalyst stoppers include anhydrous hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, bis(2-ethylhexyl)hydrogen phosphate, benzoyl chloride, Lewis acids, etc. In general, the amount of stopper added is such that there is at least 1 equivalent of acid for each mole of the allophanate catalyst.
  • In forming the prepolymers of the biuret modified toluene diisocyanates and the prepolymers of the biuret allophanate modified toluene diisocyanates, suitable isocyanate-reactive components include those selected from the group consisting of (1) one or more diols having a molecular weight of from about 76 to about 200, (2) one or more polyether polyols having a molecular weight of from about 300 to about 6000 and containing from about 1.5 to about 6 hydroxyl groups and (3) mixtures thereof. These yield urethane prepolymers having an NCO group content of from about 6 to about 44%, preferably from about 16% to about 36%.
  • Suitable diols to be used for the preparation of prepolymers include, for example, compounds such as 1,3-butanediol, 1,2- and/or 1,3-propylene glycol, 2,2,4-trimethyl-1,3-pentanediol, 2-methyl-1,3-propanediol, dipropylene glycol, tripropylene glycol, diethylene glycol, triethylene glycol, etc. Preferred diols include 1,3-butanediol, 1,2-propylene glycol, dipropylene glycol, tripropylene glycol, and mixtures thereof.
  • Suitable polyether polyols for the preparation of prepolymers include, for example, those having hydroxyl functionalities of from about 1.5 to about 6, preferably from about 1.8 to about 3, and molecular weights of from about 300 to about 6,000, preferably from about 400 to about 4,800.

  • As used herein, the term “liquid” means that the product (or material) does not precipitate solids when stored at 25° C. for 3 months. By the term “stable” as used herein, it is meant that the product has up to 1% absolute change in the NCO group content and up to 10% change in the viscosity when stored at 25° C. for 3 months.
  • The process of preparing the stable liquid biuret modified toluene diisocyanate comprises first reacting the toluene diisocyanate with a suitable secondary monoamine at temperatures of about 40 to about 90° C. to form the urea, which is subsequently converted to the biuret with the use of an allophanate catalysts at temperatures of about 50 to about 110° C., for a reaction time of between 1 and 8 hours, preferably 1 to 5 hours. Lower temperatures in the catalysis step result in higher functionality of the resultant product (i.e. biuret modified TDI). Similarly, the process of preparing the stable liquid biuret-allophanate modified toluene diisocyanate comprises first reacting the toluene diisocyanate with a mixture of a suitable secondary monoamine and a suitable aromatic/aliphatic alcohol at temperatures of about 40 to about 90° C. to form the urea-urethane, which is subsequently converted to the biuret-allophanate with the use of an allophanate catalyst at temperatures of about 50 to about 110° C., for reaction times ranging between 1 and 8 hours. Lower temperatures in the catalysis step result in higher functionality of the resultant product (i.e. biuret-allophanate modified TDI). After the biuret and/or biuret-allophanate reaction is complete, an acidic stopper is added.
  • In an alternate process for preparing the biuret and/or the biuret-allophanate modified TDI, the reactants as described above (TDI and secondary monoamine for the biuret; and TDI, secondary monoamine and aromatic/aliphatic alcohol for the biuret-allophanate) are reacted in one step with the allophanate catalyst to form the biuret modified or the biuret-allophanate modified toluene diisocyanate. Once the conversion is complete, which requires from about 1 to about 8 hours (preferably from about 1 hour to about 5 hours) at temperatures of from about 50 to about 110° C., an acidic material which acts as a stopper for the allophanate catalyst is added. As above, lower temperatures in the catalysis step result in higher functionality of the resultant product (i.e. the biuret and/or the biuret-allophanate modified TDI).
  • Stable liquid prepolymers of the biuret modified toluene diisocyanate and stable liquid prepolymers of the biuret-allophanate modified toluene diisocyanates are prepared, respectively, from the biuret modified TDI and the biuret-allophanate modified TDI described (and prepared) above (including the addition of an acidic material as a catalyst stopper), by reacting the biuret modified TDI or the biuret-allophanate modified TDI with a suitable polyether polyol or a suitable diol at temperatures ranging from about 40 to about 80° C. (preferably from about 60 to about 65° C.) for about 1 to about 4 hours (preferably for about 2 hours).
  • As used herein, unless otherwise expressly specified, all of the numerical ranges, amounts, values and percentages such as those for amounts of materials, times and temperatures of reaction, ratios of amounts, values for molecular weight, and others in the following portion of the specification may be read as if prefaced by the word “about” even though the term “about” may not expressly appear with the value, amount or range.
  • As used herein, the molecular weights referred to are number average molecular weights (Mn) and are determined by end group analysis (OH number). By the term “Isocyanate Index” (also commonly referred to as NCO index), is defined herein as the equivalents of isocyanate, divided by the total equivalents of isocyanate-reactive hydrogen containing materials, multiplied by 100.
