Polyisocyanurate compositions and foams of improved friability and process of preparing same

摘要

In a process of preparing a polyisocyanurate foam, which process comprises: reacting a polyisocyanate in the presence of a trimerization catalyst and an expanding amount of an inert blowing agent to provide a polyisocyanurate foam, the improvement which comprises: carrying out the reaction in the presence of a plasticizing amount of a nonvolatile liquid carbonate to produce a polyisocyanurate foam having improved friability and dimensional stability properties.
