wherein the first polyol and the second polyol, when mixed together, have a viscosity of about 1500 cP or less at 20° C.;
11. The method of claim 8, wherein the polyurethane composite material comprises about 65 to about 75 weight percent of the inorganic filler.
This application claims the priority benefit under 35 U.S.C. §119(e) of the provisional application 60/785,726, filed Mar. 24, 2006 and 60/785,749, filed Mar. 24, 2006, which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entireties.
Described herein are certain improvements that may be used in the production of polyurethane composite materials. Some previously described polyurethane composite material systems are included in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/764,012, filed Jan. 23, 2004, and entitled “FILLED POLYMER COMPOSITE AND SYNTHETIC BUILDING MATERIAL COMPOSITIONS,” now published as U.S Patent Application Publication No. 2005-163969-A1, and U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/190,760, filed Jul. 27, 2005, and entitled “COMPOSITE MATERIAL INCLUDING RIGID FOAM WITH INORGANIC FILLERS, ” now published as U.S Patent Application Publication No. 2007-0027227 A1, which are both hereby incorporated by reference in their entireties. However, in no way, are such polyurethane composite material systems intended to limit the scope of the improvements described in the present application.
In some embodiments, the at least one polyol include a polyester or polyether polyol. Polyether polyols are commercially available from, for example, Bayer Corporation under the trademark MULTRANOL. In general, desirable polyols include polyether polyols, such as MULTRANOL (Bayer), including MULTRANOL 3400 (viscosity of 840 cP at room Temperature), MULTRANOL 3900, a polyoxpropylene triol modified with ethylene oxide (viscosity of 820 cP at room temperature), Argol LG-56, a polypropylene oxide-based triol (viscosity of 480 at room temperature), or MULTRANOL 4035, a sucrose-based polyether polyol (viscosity of 500-700 cP at room temperature), ethylene glycol (viscosity of 21 cP at room temperature), polypropylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, diethylene glycol (viscosity of 37 cP at room temperature), triethylene glycol (43 cP at room temperature), dipropylene glycol (viscosity of 75 cP at room temperature), glycerol (viscosity of 1490 cP at 20 ° C.), 2-pentane diol, pentaerythritol adducts, 1-trimethylolpropane adducts, trimethylolethane adducts, ethylendiamine adducts, and diethylenetriamine adducts, 2-butyn-1,4-diol, neopentyl glycol, 1,2-propanediol (viscosity of 49 cP at room temperature), pentaerythritol, mannitol, 1,6-hexanediol, 1,3-buytylene glycol, hydrogenated bisphenol A, polytetramethyleneglycolethers, polythioethers, and other di- and multi-functional polyethers and polyester polyethers, and mixtures thereof. The polyols need not be miscible, but should not cause compatibility problems in the polymeric composite.
