A PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION
OF POLYURET~IANE RESINS
Background of the Invention - seside polyols, polyamines are the most important reactants for the isocyanate polyaddition process. The urea linkages formed when amino groups are added to isocyanates : result in high molecular weight compounds which have inter-esting commercial properties. Polyfunctional amines may also : be used as mixtures with other reactants for isocyanates, for example, polyols. The course of the reaction and the prop-erties of the end product ¢an be determined within wide - llmits by adjusting the proportions of the components in the mlxture.
Whereas low molecular weight polyamines are easily - 15 prepared on an industrial scale and a wide.choice is there-:~ ore available, the problem of preparing higher molecular weight diamines and polyamines has not hitherto been solved : satisfactorily. This is partl~ because the processes em-ployed in low molecular weight chemistry for synthesizing : 20 amines cannot easily be applied to higher molecular weight ~ compounds and partly because the preparation of suitable '. high molecular weight starting compounds also often leads .

Suitable polyacetals include, for example, the compounds which can be prepared from glycols such as diethylene y~ycol, triethylene glycol, 3,4'-dioxethoxy-diphenyldimethyl methane, hexanediol and formaldehyde.
Suitabl~ polyacetals may also be obtained by the polymeri-æation pf eyelic acetals.

- meric diisocyanate is preferably subsequently remored partly or completely in known manner.
The subsequent reaction of the resulting isocya-nate prepolymers with the N-blocked amino alcohols is also carried out by methods conventionally employed in isocya-nate chemistry. One preferred method, in which all unwanted side reactions are substantially suppressed, consists of continuously adding the isocyanate prepolymer to the ~
hydroxyamine~ with blocked amino group at temperatures of between about 20C and about 120C, preferably between 20C
and 60C, with vigorous stirring. Catalys~s may also be ;~ used for this reactîon if desired. The two reactants are -~ pxeferably employed in a stoichiometric ratio of 1:1 (based on isocyanate and hydroxyl). A slight excess of hydroxyl compound may be used if desired.

~he resulting blocked polyamines are converted into the free polyamines according to the invention by ~` hydrolysis. Removal of the carbonyl compounds may be - ; carried out, for example, by treating ~he blocked polyamine ~- 20 with water or with a water/solvent mixture at temperatures between 20C and 120C and then distilling off the carbonyl -~ compound and excess water and, if necessary, solvent at a reduced pressure and elevated temperature.
~he preferred method, however, consists of injecting steam at elevated temperatuxe (about 100 to 130C) into the ~ blocked polyamine and then freeing the resulting polyamine - ~ from residual water at reduced pressure when the reaction i ~ ~
has been completed.
- LeA 16,731 10-ii39~7 , The re~ulting prepolymers with amino end groups can then be used for the isocyanate polyaddition process either alone or as mixtures with polyol~ and/or other active ~ hydrogen containing compounds.
: S The compounds according to the invention may also be used for various condensatio~l reactions, for example, with polycarboxylic acids or polycarboxylic acid derivatives ` or formaldehyde, e.g~ for the preparation of polyamides, ;~ polyester amides and cross-linked polyhexahydrotriazines.

The catalysts are generally used in a quantity of .. .
~- between about 0.001 and 10% by weight, based on the polyamine according to the invention.

oleic acid diethylamine or stearic acid diethanolamine, for example, ar~ suitable emulsifiers. Alkali metal or ammonium salts of sulphonic acids such as dodecylbenzene sulphonic acid or dinaphthylmethane disulphonic acid or of fatty acids such as ricinoleic acid or of polymeric fa ~y acids may also be used as surface-active additives.

retardants, plasticiæers, dyes, fillers and fungistatic and bacteriostatic Rubstances and the use and mode of action of these additives have been descxibed in Kunststoff-Handbuch, Volume VII, published by Viewey and Hochtlen, Carl-Hanser-Verlag, Munich 1966, e.gO on payes 103 to 113.
When using the polyamines according to the inven~
: tion in the isocyanate polyaddition process, the components ~: are reacted together by the known one-shot, prepolymer or ~ semiprepolymer process, in many cases using mechanical devices such as those described in U.S. Patent 2,764,565.
Processing apparatus of the kind which may be used according to the invention have been described in Kunststoff-Handbuch, Volume VII, published by Vieweg and Hochtlen, Carl-Hanser-~: . Verlag, Munich 1966, e.g. on pages 121 to 205.
When producing foams according to the invention, ~- the foaming reaction is often carried out in molds. The ~ reaction mixture is introduced into a mold which may be ;~; made of a metal such as aluminum or a plastics material ~; such as an epoxide resin and it foams up inside the mold .:; 20 to give rise to the molded article. This foaming process .
. may be carried out so that the molded product has a cellu-~` lar structure on its surface or it may be carried out to produce a product with a non-cellular skin and cellular ~-~ core. According to the invention, the quantity of foamable ~, .
. 25 reaction mixture introduced into the mold may be just ; ~ sufficient to fill the mold with foam or if desired, a :~ larger quantity of foamable reaction mixture may be used, in which case the foaming process is said to be carried out under conditions of "overcharging". This procedure has already been described~ for example, in ~.S. Paten~s LeA 16,731 -17-:, 3,178,490 and 3,132,104.
. .
When foaming is carried out inside molds, so-called external mold release agents known per se, such as silicone oils, are frequently used. Alternatively, so-S called internal mold release agents may be used, optionally in combina~ion with external mold release agents,for example, as disclosed in Gexman Offenlegungsschriften 2,121,670 and 2,307,589.
. Cold setting foams may also be produced according to the invention as described in see British Patent 1,162,517 and German Offenlegungsschrift 2,153,086.

Fo~ns may, of course, also be produced by the ~ prooess of block foaming or by the laminator process known : ~ per se~

The subsequent reaction of the resulting isocya-nate prepolymers with the N-blocked amino alcohols is also carried out by methods conventionally employed in isocya-nate chemistry. One preferred method, in which all unwanted side reactions are substantially suppressed, consists of continuously adding the isocyanate prepolymer to the ~
hydroxyamine~ with blocked amino group at temperatures of between about 20C and about 120C, preferably between 20C
and 60C, with vigorous stirring. Catalys~s may also be ;~ used for this reactîon if desired. The two reactants are -~ pxeferably employed in a stoichiometric ratio of 1:1 (based on isocyanate and hydroxyl). A slight excess of hydroxyl compound may be used if desired.

~he resulting blocked polyamines are converted into the free polyamines according to the invention by ~` hydrolysis. Removal of the carbonyl compounds may be - ; carried out, for example, by treating ~he blocked polyamine ~- 20 with water or with a water/solvent mixture at temperatures between 20C and 120C and then distilling off the carbonyl -~ compound and excess water and, if necessary, solvent at a reduced pressure and elevated temperature.
~he preferred method, however, consists of injecting steam at elevated temperatuxe (about 100 to 130C) into the ~ blocked polyamine and then freeing the resulting polyamine - ~ from residual water at reduced pressure when the reaction i ~ ~
has been completed.

The catalysts are generally used in a quantity of .. .
~- between about 0.001 and 10% by weight, based on the polyamine according to the invention.

retardants, plasticiæers, dyes, fillers and fungistatic and bacteriostatic Rubstances and the use and mode of action of these additives have been descxibed in Kunststoff-Handbuch, Volume VII, published by Viewey and Hochtlen, Carl-Hanser-Verlag, Munich 1966, e.gO on payes 103 to 113.
When using the polyamines according to the inven~
: tion in the isocyanate polyaddition process, the components ~: are reacted together by the known one-shot, prepolymer or ~ semiprepolymer process, in many cases using mechanical devices such as those described in U.S. Patent 2,764,565.
Processing apparatus of the kind which may be used according to the invention have been described in Kunststoff-Handbuch, Volume VII, published by Vieweg and Hochtlen, Carl-Hanser-~: . Verlag, Munich 1966, e.g. on pages 121 to 205.
When producing foams according to the invention, ~- the foaming reaction is often carried out in molds. The ~ reaction mixture is introduced into a mold which may be ;~; made of a metal such as aluminum or a plastics material ~; such as an epoxide resin and it foams up inside the mold .:; 20 to give rise to the molded article. This foaming process .
. may be carried out so that the molded product has a cellu-~` lar structure on its surface or it may be carried out to produce a product with a non-cellular skin and cellular ~-~ core. According to the invention, the quantity of foamable ~, .
. 25 reaction mixture introduced into the mold may be just ; ~ sufficient to fill the mold with foam or if desired, a :~ larger quantity of foamable reaction mixture may be used, in which case the foaming process is said to be carried out under conditions of "overcharging". This procedure has already been described~ for example, in ~.S. Paten~s LeA 16,731 -17-:, 3,178,490 and 3,132,104.
. .
When foaming is carried out inside molds, so-called external mold release agents known per se, such as silicone oils, are frequently used. Alternatively, so-S called internal mold release agents may be used, optionally in combina~ion with external mold release agents,for example, as disclosed in Gexman Offenlegungsschriften 2,121,670 and 2,307,589.
. Cold setting foams may also be produced according to the invention as described in see British Patent 1,162,517 and German Offenlegungsschrift 2,153,086.
~ .
Fo~ns may, of course, also be produced by the ~ prooess of block foaming or by the laminator process known : ~ per se~
