What is quasi prepolymer?

The quasi-prepolymers were synthesized by using the pre-polymerization method with polyethylene glycol (PEG) 1500 and polymeric 4,4ยด-diphenylmethano diisocyanate (pMDI) in different molar ratios. The monomers and prepolymers were characterized by means of FTIR, 1 H-NMR and 13 C-NMR.

What is polyurethane prepolymer?

Polyurethane prepolymer which can be converted into a final product by reaction with a curative or chain extending agent is made by reacting polyisocyanate with polyol in the presence of an amount of an aliphatic hydrocarbon which is a solvent for the polyisocyanate but a non-solvent for the prepolymer.

What is MDI Covestro?

Covestro has revived its plan to build a world-scale plant for methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI), a polyurethane intermediate, in China or the US. Covestro had shelved the project, then planned for Texas, in early 2020. The firm now hopes to open the plant in 2026.

What is prepolymer solution?

In polymer chemistry, the term pre-polymer or prepolymer, refers to a monomer or system of monomers that have been reacted to an intermediate molecular mass state. This material is capable of further polymerization by reactive groups to a fully cured, high molecular weight state.

Which reaction is takes place during polyurethane prepolymer synthesis?

The isocyanate terminated polyurethane prepolymer was synthesized by reacting stoichiometric excess of methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI) with poly (propylene oxide) glycol (PPG) at 60oC. The formation of the prepolymer was investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR).

What is polymeric polyol?

Polymer polyols are defined as very fine and stable dispersions of solid polymers (vinylic polymers and copolymers, polyurea, polyurethanes) in liquid polyethers. Currently polymer polyols represent one of the most important group of polyolic intermediates for elastic polyurethanes.
