Composition containing modified bisphenol F
The invention relates to a composition that contains a binary mixture of bisphenol F and propoxylated bisphenol F. The aim of the invention is to provide aromatic polyols for preparing polyurethane-based and polyisocyanurate-based polymers, which ensure good handling from a technical point of view and good miscibility with the isocyanate component and render the end product flameproof. For this purpose, the invention devises a composition, which contains a binary mixture of ethoxylated bisphenol F and propoxylated bisphenol F in a weight ratio of 20:80 to 80:20.
1. A composition comprising
ethoxylated bisphenol F and
propoxylated bisphenol F in a weight ratio of 20:80 to 80:20.
2. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the ethoxylated bisphenol F is obtained by reaction of bisphenol F and ethylene carbonate.
3. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the propoxylated bisphenol F is obtained by reaction of bisphenol F and propylene carbonate.
4. The composition of claim 1 , wherein a molar ratio of bisphenol F:ethoxylating agent is at least 1:2 and/or a molar ratio of bisphenol F:propoxylating agent is at least 1:2.
5. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the weight ratio of ethoxylated bisphenol F to propoxylated bisphenol F is 30:70 to 70:30.
6. The composition of claim 1 , further comprising an alkoxylated resorcinol.
7. The composition of claim 6 , wherein the alkoxylated resorcinol is produced by reaction of resorcinol with a combination of ethoxylating agent and propoxylating agent.
8. The composition of claim 6 , wherein the ethoxylated bisphenol F and propoxylated bisphenol F form a binary mixture and wherein a weight ratio of the binary mixture to the alkoxylated resorcinol is 80:20 to 20:80.
9. A process comprising:
I)
a) adding bisphenol F into a reactor and melting at temperatures between 120° C. and 160° C.
b) adding an alkaline medium and heating to 180° C.
c) adding ethylene carbonate and removal of the carbon dioxide
d) optionally adding an acid for neutralization,
II)
e) adding bisphenol F into a reactor and melting at temperatures between 120° C. and 160° C. f) adding an alkaline medium and heating to 180° C.
g) adding propylene carbonate and removal of the carbon dioxide
h) optionally adding an acid for neutralization, and
III) combining the components produced under (I) and (II), to provide a binary mixture having a I:II weight ratio of 20:80 to 80:20.
10. A polyurethane or a polyisocyanurate made from the composition of claim 1 .
11. A prepolymer, foam, insulation material, coating, lacquer, elastomer, adhesive, sealant and/or composition material comprising polyurethane or the polyisocyanurate of claim 10 .
