Definitions
- This invention relates to processes for the preparation of rigid polyurethane or urethane- modified polyisocyanurate foam, to foam prepared thereby, and to novel compositions useful in the process.
- the present invention mainly focuses on providing a rigid polyurethane foam which is especially suitable for use as an insulating material for pipes.
- Rigid polyurethane and urethane-modified polyisocyanurate foams are in general prepared by reacting the appropriate polyisocyanate and isocyanate-reactive compound (usually a polyol) in the presence of a blowing agent.
- Rigid polyurethane foams are well known in the art and have numerous applications, particularly as an insulating material. Examples include insulation of refrigerators and freezers, insulation of pipes and tanks in industrial plants and use as an insulating material in the construction industry.
- a number of different production methods can be used for the production of pre-insulated pipes.
- discontinuous production techniques a pipe pre- assembly is made by positioning the steel inner pipe centrally in a slightly shorter casing pipe. To keep the steel pipe in the center of the casing pipe, distance holders are arranged around the steel pipe. At both ends the gap between the steel and the casing pipe is sealed off by end- caps that fit tightly around the steel and the HDPE casing pipe. The end-caps are equipped with holes for foam injection and air venting. In principle, pipes of any length up to approximately 16 meters can be used, but standard steel pipe lengths are 6, 12 and 16 m.
- Continuous pipe production techniques consist of two stages. In a first stage, the foam is applied on the inner pipe.
- the casing pipe is extruded or wound around the pre-shaped foam.
- Continuous techniques allow a fast and consistent production of a large number of pipes of the same dimension. Although the initial investment into these techniques may be higher, cost savings are achieved due to reduction of foam filling density and a reduced thickness of the high-density polyethylene (HDPE) casing pipes.
- the continuous spray technique is particularly useful for medium and large diameter pipes.
- the reacting foam mixture is sprayed on the outside of the rotating medium pipe. Obviously the foam has to react very quickly, so that the foam adheres well to the pipe surface and does not spin off.
- Various layers of foam may be applied to obtain the required insulation thickness. Very uniform foam is created over an extremely short flow path.
- any insulation thickness can be produced by spray application.
- Large and long pipes can be insulated using small foaming machines.
- the HDPE casing pipe is extruded or wound around the insulation.
- a polyurea coating can also be applied as casing using the spray techmque.
- applied foam densities can be lower because of smaller difference between overall and core density.
- the HDPE casing pipe can be thinner since it does not have to withstand the high foam pressure that occurs during conventional pipe filling and hence, material savings are possible.
- the present invention aims to provide rigid polyurethane foams having excellent high temperature resistance and excellent mechanical properties, thus making them very suitable as insulating material for steel pipes used in the hot water transportation system of district heating networks and for oil and gas pipelines.
