Abstract

Single component compositions for making a moisture-cured polyurethane foam are disclosed. Foam produced from the compositions of the present invention produce very low foaming pressure due to their 60-95 percent open-cell content. After these compositions are applied and cure, they form a permanent seal around the perimeter of installed fenestration products.

Claims (16)

1. A polyurethane foam forming composition delivery system comprising:

a container;

a pressurized single component polyurethane foam forming composition comprising a mixture of (a) prepolymers containing free isocyanate groups in the range of 12 to 17 percent by weight, based on the prepolymer, which is produced by reacting a polyisocyanate with a polyol blend comprising a first polyol that is a triol having a molecular weight of in the range of from 600 to 2500 and a second polyol that is a diol, triol, or mixtures thereof having a molecular weight in the range of from 6000 to 10,000, wherein the first polyol and the second polyol are present in a parts by weight ratio in the of from 1:6 to 1:2; (b) a blowing agent; and (c) from 0.5 to 4 percent by weight a surfactant comprising the reaction product of a poly(alkyl siloxane) and a poly(alkylene oxide) copolymer, where the alkylene oxide are ethylene oxide, propylene oxide or butylene oxide, based on the total weight of the single component polyurethane foam forming composition, and

means for dispensing said pressurized single component polyurethane foam forming composition, wherein said polyurethane foam forming composition forms an open-cell structure foam having open cells in the range of from 60% to 95%.

2. The polyurethane foam forming composition delivery system of claim 1 , wherein the means for dispensing is a dispenser is a straw-trigger/valve dispenser or a gun/valve disperser.

3. The polyurethane foam forming composition delivery system of claim 1 , wherein the single component polyurethane foam forming composition further comprises from 0.5 to 4 percent by weight, based on the total weight of the single component polyurethane foam forming composition, of a polydimethyl siloxane polyoxyalkylene copolymer surfactant.

4. The polyurethane foam forming composition delivery system of claim 3 , wherein the surfactant comprises 1 to 3 percent by weight of the single component polyurethane foam forming composition.

5. The polyurethane foam forming composition delivery system of claim 4 , wherein the surfactant has a molecular weight of less than 30,000.

6. The polyurethane foam forming composition delivery system of claim 1 , wherein the polyisocyanate in the single component polyurethane foam forming composition is selected from the group consisting of aliphatic, cycloaliphatic, aryliphatic, and aromatic polyisocyanates.

7. The polyurethane foam forming composition delivery system of claim 6 , wherein the polyisocyanate is an aromatic polyisocyanate selected from diphenylmethane diisocyanate, polyphenyl polymethylene isocyanate or a combination thereof.

8. The polyurethane foam forming composition delivery system of claim 1 , wherein the blowing agent is a hydrocarbon, a fluorocarbon, a chlorocarbon, a chlorofluorocarbon or a mixture thereof.

9. The polyurethane foam forming composition delivery system of claim 8 , wherein the blowing agent is a hydrocarbon selected from isobutane, propane, dimethylether or a mixtures thereof.

10. The polyurethane foam forming composition delivery system 1 , wherein the composition contains additional auxiliary agent selected from amine catalysts, tin catalysts or flame retardants.

11. The polyurethane foam forming composition delivery system 1 , wherein the triols and diols in the single component polyurethane foam forming composition together comprise a secondary hydroxyl functionality of at least about 50 percent.

12. The polyurethane foam forming composition delivery system 4 , wherein the second polyol in the single component polyurethane foam forming composition is a diol.

13. The polyurethane foam forming composition delivery system 4 , wherein the second polyol in the composition is a triol.
