Assignee:

Dow Global Technologies LLC - Midland MI

International Classification:

C07C 263/10

US Classification:

568347

Abstract:

The present invention is a process for aliphatic or cycloaliphatic isocyanate. The process comprises reacting an aliphatic or cycloaliphatic primary amine, with phosgene in the presence of an inert solvent wherein the initial reaction temperature is between 100 and 130 C. and the temperature is subsequently ramped to 150 to 180 C. during the course of the reaction, the solvent to amine weight ratio is 95:5 to 80:20, the total reaction pressure is maintained between 50 and 350 psig and the amine is rapidly dispersed in the phosgene through injection in a region of high efficiency mixing.

International Classification:

C08G 18/81

US Classification:

528045000

Abstract:

Isocyanurate polyisocyanates compositions derived from bis(isocyanotomethyl)cyclohexane are disclosed. The compositions are prepared by cyclizing (i) 1,3-bis(isocyanotomethyl)cyclohexane or 1,4-bis(isocyanotomethyl)cyclohexane or (ii) an isomeric mixture of two or more of cis-1,3-bis(isocyanotomethyl)cyclohexane, trans-1,3-bis(isocyanotomethyl)cyclohexane, cis-1,4-bis(isocyanotomethyl)cyclohexane and trans-1,4-bis(isocyanotomethyl)cyclohexane in the presence of a trimerization catalysts, and then deactivating these catalysts. The isocyanurate polyisocyanates can be further modified to contain urethane, urea, biuret, allophanate, imino-s-triazine, uretonimine or carbodiimide moieties.
