POLYURETHANES PRODUCED USING ZINC CATALYSTS Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC C08G18/22 C08G18/08 C08G18/16 C08G18/66 

FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: present invention relates to methods of producing polymers from polyisocyanates and isocyanate-reactive substances. The invention can particularly be used to produce moulded polyurethane elastomers. Described method of producing a polyisocyanate-based polymer, which includes preparing a reaction mixture containing at least one polyisocyanate, at least one polyol and at least one zinc catalyst, followed by curing the reaction mixture to form a polymer, where the zinc catalyst contains at least one zinc atom bonded to a polydentate organic ligand containing at least two complexing centres, at least one of which is nitrogen-containing, where the ligand compound is a) β-amino-alcohol or enol; b) β-imino-alcohol or enol; c) β-enamino alcohol; d) β-aminoketo-compound, or β-enaminoketo-compound, or an ester compound; e) β-diketiminate compound; f) β-diamine compound.

EFFECT: zinc catalysts provide the required properties of organomercury catalysts, including a long period of open storage with subsequent fast curing, good physical properties and a good appearance of the surface of the elastomer product.
