Title:
PROCESS FOR PRODUCING POLYURETHANE FOAM, POLYURETHANE FOAM, AND ABRASIVE SHEET
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2001/096434
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A process for producing a finely cellular polyurethane foam by mixing a first ingredient comprising an isocyanate compound with a second ingredient comprising a compound containing an active hydrogen group, characterized by comprising adding a nonionic silicone surfactant containing no hydroxyl group to at least one of the first and second ingredients in an amount of 0.1 to 5 wt.%, excluding 5 wt.%, based on the total amount of the first and second ingredients, subsequently agitating the surfactant-containing ingredient together with an unreactive gas to disperse the unreactive gas as fine bubbles to prepare a bubble dispersion, and then mixing the bubble dispersion with the remaining ingredient to cure the resultant mixture. Thus, a polyurethane foam having uniform fine cells and a higher hardness than ones having the same density can be produced without using a chemically reactive blowing agent such as water, vaporizable expandable blowing agent such as a fluorocarbon, or other substance such as a finely particulate hollow foam or solvent-soluble substance.
