Definitions

  • polyester polyols are often made from aliphatic polyols and dicarboxylic acids. Polyester polyols can be amorphous or semi-crystalline. Polyester polyols are often used to form urethane polymers and prepolymers. Semi-crystalline polyester polyols can impact various properties of polymers and prepolymers made therewith including, e.g., the rate of crystallization of the prepolymer, the temperature at which the prepolymer flows, and the temperature at which an adhesive formulated therewith solidifies and loses tack.
  • Natural oils have been used to make amorphous polyester polyols that are liquid at room temperature. Most natural oils include unsaturation and, in some cases (e.g., castor oil), include hydroxyl groups. Natural oils are triglycerides with fatty acid side chains that often have from 8 to 22 carbon atoms. Polyester polyols have been made from unsaturated natural oils by first adding hydroxyl functionality through a number of processes including, e.g., epoxidation and ring opening, hydroxylation, transesterification, and oxidation. In some cases, after the oils have been hydroxylated, the resulting product has then been further reacted with polyols, diacids and combinations thereof to form polyester polyols.
  • oils contain unsaturation in the fatty acid chains. The degree of unsaturation can be reflected in the Iodine Value of an oil. Oils can be hydrogenated to remove unsaturation in the fatty acid chains of the oil. Soybean oil, for example, typically has an Iodine Value from 125 to 135, whereas hydrogenated soybean oil can have an Iodine Value of less than 5.
