1406824 Polyurethanes DOW CHEMICAL CO 31 Oct 1972 [3 Nov 1971] 50147/72 Heading C3R Solid, non-elastomeric rapid-set urethane resins, having a per cent elongation of less than 100%, are prepared by reacting together (1) a liquid isocyanate terminated reaction product of an organic polyol having 2-8 hydroxyl groups per molecule and a hydroxyl equivalent weight of less than 500 with an organic diisocyanate, the said reaction product containing 20-40 wt. per cent of free isocyanate groups, and (2) a liquid polyether polyol having 3-8 hydroxyl groups per molecule and a hydroxyl equivalent weight of 75-230 in the presence of a non- amine containing catalyst, and (3) 0-50 wt. per cent of (1), (2) and (3) of a liquid ester of a carboxylic acid having a boiling point above 150‹ C., the (1) and (2) components being present in amounts to provide an NCO to OH ratio of 0À8 to 1À5 and the catalyst being present in an amount of 0À01-5 wt. per cent of the sum of the weight of (1), (2) and (3). Preferred organic polyols for components (1) are polyether polyols. The preferred diisocyanate is toluene diisocyanate. Preferred catalysts are metal salts of C 2-20 carboxylic acids which are preferably used in liquid form if necessary in a solvent. Preferred esters are esters of C 1-20 mono- and polycarboxylic acids the ester portion of which preferably contains 1-20 carbon atoms. In the examples polyurethanes are prepared using as component (2) one of the following polyols prepared from (A) propylene oxide and glycerine; (B) ethylene oxide and glycerine; (C) propylene oxide and pentaerythritol; (D) propylene oxide and sucrose; (E) propylene oxide, sucrose and glycerine; and as component (1), one of the following prepolymers which are the reaction products of (i) polyol (A) and toluene diisocyanate; (ii) polyol (C) and toluene diisocyanate; (iii) polyol (E) and toluene diisocyanate; (iv) polyol (A) and xylylene diisocyanate; and either no ester component (3) or one of the following esters: dioctyl phthalate, dimethyl phthalate, diallyl phthalate, dimethyl adipate, ethyl acetoacetate, methyl abietate, in the presence of one of the following catalysts: lead octoate, lead naphthenate and tin carboxylate. 1406866 Polymerization of fluoroalkylacrylates HOECHST AG 17 Oct 1972 [18 Oct 1971] 47820/72 Headings C3P and C3G [Also in Division D1] A process for providing an oil and water repellant finish on polyester material comprises polymerizing and/or graft polymerizing fluoroalkyl acryla
