HYDROXYMETHYL QUINUCLIDINE CATALYST COMPOSITIONS FOR MAKING POLYURETHANE FOAMS.

摘要

A method for preparing a polyurethane foam which comprises reacting an organic polyisocyanate and a polyol in the presence of a blowing agent, a cell stabilizer and a catalyst composition comprising at least one compound of either of the following formulas IA and IB: IA IB where R is hydrogen, methyl or hydroxymethyl. The preferred catalysts comprise 3-hydroxymethyl quinuclidine, 3-methyl-3-hydroxymethyl quinuclidine and 4-hydroxymethyl quinuclidine.
