Polyester polyols, processes for making them, and applications for the polyols are disclosed. Some of the polyols comprise recurring units from a digested thermoplastic polyester (e.g., recycled polyethylene terephthalate), a diol, an optional hydrophobe, and a clarifier. The clarifier, which in some cases is a bisphenol, bisphenol alkoxylate, bisphenol polycarbonate, sulfonyl diphenol, or sulfonyl diphenol alkoxylate, helps the polyol remain clear for weeks or months after its preparation. In some aspects, the clarifier is a monophenol, bisphenol, or poly-phenol having two or more phenylene rings wherein at least two of the phenylene rings lack a common molecular axis. The clarifier may also be an alkylated phenol, an epoxy resin, an epoxy novolac resin, a diphenylmethane, or a tris(aryloxy)phosphate. The polyols are valuable for formulating a variety of polyurethanes and related products—including polyurethane dispersions, flexible and rigid foams, coatings, adhesives, sealants, and elastomers—and they provide a sustainable alternative to bio- or petrochemical-based polyols.
公开了聚酯多元醇、制造工艺和多元醇的应用。其中一些多元醇包括来自消化热塑性聚酯(如回收的聚对苯二甲酸乙二酯)、二元醇、任选憎水剂和澄清剂的重复单元。在某些情况下,澄清剂是双酚、双酚烷氧基化物、双酚聚碳酸酯、磺酰二酚或磺酰二酚烷氧基化物,它有助于多元醇在制备后数周或数月内保持透明。在某些方面,澄清剂是具有两个或两个以上亚苯基环的单酚、双酚或多酚,其中至少有两个亚苯基环缺乏共同的分子轴。澄清剂也可以是烷基化苯酚、环氧树脂、环氧酚醛树脂、二苯基甲烷或磷酸三(芳氧基)酯。这些多元醇对配制各种聚氨酯和相关产品(包括聚氨酯分散体、软质和硬质泡沫塑料、涂料、粘合剂、密封剂和弹性体)非常有用,而且是生物基或石化基多元醇的可持续替代品。
