POLYURETIIANE BINDER COMP~SITION
This invention relates to a polyurethane binder composition containing a minor amount by weight of a finely divided soybean derivative and which composition is useful for binding shredded polyurethane foam to make polyurethane foam carpet or rug underlay.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
It is known to recover scrap polyurethane foam by heating it in the form of particles in admixture with an aliphatic diol having from 2 to 6 carbon atoms and recovering a homogeneous mixture of polyols (United States Patent No. 3,983,087). Scrap polyurethane foam particles, also, may be rebonded together by mixing them with a polyurethane prepolymer having a free NCO content o:f from about 2 to 20 percent and mad~ from certain aTomatic diisocyanates and a polyethylene el:her polyol or a poly-ethylene ether propylene ether polyol having a polyoxy-etllylene cOnteTIt Oe :from about 30 ~:o 100 percent, compressing the mixture and curing the same tUnited States Patent No.
4,082,703).
Crude soybean lecithin has been reacted with an organic diisocyanate to form a product which is readily dispersible and does not undergo fermentation ~United States Patent No. 2,636,889). Castor oil and blown oils including soya oil, an arylene diisocyanate, glycerine and water have been re-acted together preferably in the presence of a tertiary amine cat-alyst to form a cellular plastic (United States ~.
Patent No. 2,833,730). r:lexible elastomeric cellular materials have been made from polyols like polyethers, polyesters and polyesteramides, castor oil, water and an organic diisocyanate (United States Patent No. 2,888,412).
Coating compositions have been made from polyisocyanates and the alcoholysis product of a drying oil like soybean oil or a dehydrated castor oil and a polyether polyol such as the propylene oxide adduct of sorbitol (United States Patent No.
3,332,896). Ba~ed urethane moclified polyesteramide coatings exhibiting improved resistance to dilute alkali have been pro-duced by reacting a diisocyanate with the hydroxyl-terminated polyester amide resulting from refluxing particular dicarboxylic compounds with a slight excess of N,N-bis (2-hydroxyethyl) soybean amide or corresponding linseed amide ~United States Patent No. 3,~85,779). ~poxidized soy-bean oil can be treated with acrylic acid and be further treat-ed with acrylates, amines or isocyanal:es to provide coatings on substrates whicll can be cured by irradiation (United States Patent No. 3,931,071).
OBJECTS
An object of the present invention is to produce a polyurethane binder composition suitable for binding shredded polyurethane foam to make carpet or rug underlay wherein a reduction may be made in the polyisocyanate and/or polyol content of the binder with achievement of satisfactory results or where the binder may be extended with achievement of satisfactory results.
A further object is to provide a polyurethane 79~
foam product comprised of shredded polyurethane foam particles bound together ~y a novel polyurethane bin~er composition.
Accordingly, the invention provides a composition of matter useful as a ~inder and comprising:
(a) 100 parts by weight of a polyalkylene ether polyol having from 2 to 4 hydroxyl groups and an average molecular weight of from about 2,000 to 4,500;
(b) from about 30 to 50 parts by weight of a rubher extender oil;
.10 (c) from about 7.5 to 25 parts by weight of a finely divided, solid soybean derivative consisting of ~oth a protein-aceous and cellulosic fraction containing numerous -OH groups as well as reactive pendant protein groups (-COOH, -OR and -NH2), having a large surface to mass ratio and showing good structural geometry exhibiting elongated hexagonal polygons representin~
the cell walls of the soybean cotyledon from which solubles have been removed, and (d) a diisocyanate in an c~ount in excess oE the stoi~
chiometric amount required to react with all of the active hydrogen atoms of the polyol, and diisocyanate ~ein~ selected from the group consisting of 2,4-tolylene diisocyanate, 2,6-tolylene diisocyanate, 4,4'-diphenyl nlethane diisocyanate, hydro-genated 4,4'-diphenyl methane diisocyanate, polymeric forms of TDI, MDI and hydrogenated MDI, xylene diisocyanate, isophorone diisocyanate and hexamethylene diisocyanate and mixt~res of the same.
The composition is suitable for use as a binder for shredded flexible polyurethane foam in making articles like carpet or rug underlay. The use of the soy~ean derivatiYe enables the 3~ obtainment of a carpet or rug underlay exhibiting the same or 7~
essentially the same properties as one without the soybean de-rivative but using less expensive diisocyanate and/or polyol r thus achieving a decrease in binder cost or usage.

The polyalkylene ether polyols usable in this invention have from
2 to 4 hydroxyl groups and an average molecular weight of from about 2,000 to 4,500, preferably of from about 3,000 to 3,500. In the commercially available polyols of this type from about 5 to 85% of the total hydroxyl end *Trademark - 4 -~ i'7J~
groups usually are primarily hydroxyl groups (by end-capping with ethylene oxide). The polyalkylene ether polyols are well known in the urethane art and are generally made by reacting a polyhydric alcohol or polyamine with an alkylene oxide in the presence of a catalyst. Examples of polyhydric alcohols and so forth are ethylene glycol, pentaerythritol, propylene gly-col, 2,3-butylene glycol, 1,3-butylene glycol, 1,5-pentanediol, 1,6-hexane-diol, glycerol, trimethylol propane, hexanetriol, ethylene diamine and so forth. Suitable alkylene oxides include ethylene oxide, propylene oxide, butylene oxide, amylene oxide and mixtures of the same. Other polyether-polyols well known in the art can be included or substituted in the systems of this invention. Mixtures of polyalkylene ether polyols can be used. The preferred polyalkylene ether polyols used in this invention are polypropyl-ene ether triols or polypropylene ether triols containing a major amount of propylene oxide mo~ties the remaining moities being Erom ethylene oxide, butylene oxide, amylene oxide and so forth and mixture thereof. IE ethylene oxide is a comonomer or used Eor end-capping it should not be used in an amount of more than about 25 wt. % to prevent water sensitivity.
The diisocyanate employed in thc binder composition should be used in an amount by weight sufficient to provide an excess of the stoichiometric amount of -NCO groups required to react with all of the active hydrogen atoms or groups (as determined by the Zerewitinoff method, J.A.C.S., Vol.
49, p. 31Sl ~1927) e.g., hydroxyl groups, of the polyalkylene ether polyol.
Examples of useful diisocyanates or mixtures thereof to employ are 2,4-tolylene diisocyanate ~TDI), 2,6-tolylene diisocyanate (TDI), 4,4'-diphenyl methane diisocyanate (~IDI), hydrogenated 4,4'-diphenyl methane diisocyanate (or 4,4'-dicyclohexyl methane diisocyanate)~ polymeric forms of TDI, MDI and llydrogenated MDI, xylene diisocyanate, isophorone diisocyanate and hexa-methylene diisocyanate. Of these diisocyanates it is preferred to use 2,4-or 2,6-tolylene diisocyanate or mixture of these tolylene diisocyanates.
The oils to be used are rubber compounding processing or extender 7~3 olls which also may be considered sometimes as plasticizers or softeners.
These processing oils may be of the aromatic including highly aromatic, naphthenic (preferred) or paraffinic type or mixture thereof. The proces-sing oils preferably should be non-staining, be light colored or clear where light colored products are desired, and have low volatility. The pour point of the processing oils should be below about 30C. These processing oils should have a viscosity SUS (Saybolt Universal viscosity seconds) at about 38C. of from about 40 to 27,000 preferably from about 40 to 7,000 and a mo-lecular weight of from about 220 to 2,400, preferably from about 220 to 720.
The molecular type analysis of these processing oils, clay-gel weight, should be from about 0. to 0.1% asphaltenes, from about 0.2-18% polar com-pounds, from about 10 to 80% aromatic compounds, and from about 10 to 90% of saturates. It is well known that the polar compounds are designated as such since their hydrocarbon molecules may contain nitrogen, oxygen and/or sulfur atoms. The carbon type analyses of these processing oils sho~ that they contain fronl about 3 to 47% aromatic carbon ntoms (CA)~ from about 19 to 44%
naphthenic carbon atoms (CN), and from about 31 to 73% paraffinic carbon atoms (Cp). Processing or extending oils used in rubber compounding are well known. See "Plasticizer Technology," Vol. 1, Bruins, 1965, Reinhold Publishing Corporation, New York; "India Rubber World," Vol. 126, No. 4, July 1952, pages 495-499; "Industrial And Engineering Chemistry," May, 1953, pages 1035-1053; ASTM Specification D 2226-70; Sun Oil Company, Industrial Products Department, Technical Bulletin No. 88, "Rubber Process ~ Extender Oils," 12 pages; "Petroleum Oils For The Chemical Process Industry," Sun Oil Company, Bulletin No. Al-1006, Copyright 1976, 8 pages; and "Materials, Com-pounding Ingredients, And Machinery For Rubber," 1977, Bill Communications, Inc., New York. The oil is used in an amount of from about 30 to 50 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the polyalkylene ether glycol.
Other additives may be added to the binder composition such as color pigments like phthalocyanine blue or green, antidegradants, urethane _ ~ _ ~' 7~
cata1ysts likc tlle tertiary amines or tin catalysts like dibutyl tin di-laurate, -tin octoate or tin oleate, UV absorbers and so forth. Well-known urethane crosslin~ing materials, also, may be used such as glycerol, tri-methylol propane, hexane triol, pentaerythritol, sorbitol, ethylene diamine and so forth.
While the binder composition o this invention has been described as useful in making carpet underlay, it, also, can be used in the manufac-ture of upholstery, toys, interliners for clothing, wiping sponges and other fabricated flexible polyurethane articles.
In forming a rebonded urethane foams the polyurethane foam, gen-erally scrap, is comminuted or shredded (chopped, ground, etc.) into rel-atively small particles in conventional apparatus such as a grinder. The particle size of the shredded foam is not critical and will vary depending upon the type of grinding used. Uniformity of particle size is not needed, and a typical shredded foam may contain particles smaller than 1/16 of an inch or smaller up to particles having at least one dimension perhaps 2 inches or more. The shredded Eoam may also contain in commercial practice millor amo~lnts of a wide variety of other scrap materials ranging from, for example, string to polyethylene film.
The shredded foam is then transported to a mixing container such as a ribbon blender or blending trough; and, while the foam particles are being agitated, such as by means of air in the trough or tank, the binder ingredients are added, typically by spraying and thoroughly blended or mixed together. All of the ingredients may be mixed together at once and sprayed onto the shredded polyurethane particles. Alternatively, the diisocyanate and polyol may first be prereacted to form an isocyanate terminated poly-urethane prepolymer and then mixed with the oil and solid, finely divided soybean derivative and then added. The mixture of binder and foam particles is then cast in a mold or other apparatus or compressed to form a log.
After curing ~ith steam or by other means to the state where it can be 7~
halldled, the log is removcd from the apparatus and is peeled to form a long continuous rebonded layer or sheet, e.g., a flexible polyurethane foam car-pet or rug underlay. Shredded foam includes also choppad, comminuted or otherwise cut-up or small particles of foam. The binder composition of this invention is used in a minor amount by weight sufficient to bind the shred-ded polyurethane foam particles together Oll curing to form a bound or adher-enr unitary mass capable of being peeled or veneered to form a load support-ing cushioning carpet or rug underlay. In general, there can be used from about 3 to 15 parts by weight of the binder composition per 100 parts by weight of the shredded flexible polyurethane foam particles. The polyure-thane foam particles may be obtained from flexible polyether urethane foams, polyester-urethane foam or polyether ester urethane foams or mixtures of the same, preferably from polyetherurethcme foams.

The molecular type analysis of these processing oils, clay-gel weight, should be from about 0. to 0.1% asphaltenes, from about 0.2-18% polar com-pounds, from about 10 to 80% aromatic compounds, and from about 10 to 90% of saturates. It is well known that the polar compounds are designated as such since their hydrocarbon molecules may contain nitrogen, oxygen and/or sulfur atoms. The carbon type analyses of these processing oils sho~ that they contain fronl about 3 to 47% aromatic carbon ntoms (CA)~ from about 19 to 44%
naphthenic carbon atoms (CN), and from about 31 to 73% paraffinic carbon atoms (Cp). Processing or extending oils used in rubber compounding are well known. See "Plasticizer Technology," Vol. 1, Bruins, 1965, Reinhold Publishing Corporation, New York; "India Rubber World," Vol. 126, No. 4, July 1952, pages 495-499; "Industrial And Engineering Chemistry," May, 1953, pages 1035-1053; ASTM Specification D 2226-70; Sun Oil Company, Industrial Products Department, Technical Bulletin No. 88, "Rubber Process ~ Extender Oils," 12 pages; "Petroleum Oils For The Chemical Process Industry," Sun Oil Company, Bulletin No. Al-1006, Copyright 1976, 8 pages; and "Materials, Com-pounding Ingredients, And Machinery For Rubber," 1977, Bill Communications, Inc., New York. The oil is used in an amount of from about 30 to 50 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the polyalkylene ether glycol.
Other additives may be added to the binder composition such as color pigments like phthalocyanine blue or green, antidegradants, urethane _ ~ _ ~' 7~
cata1ysts likc tlle tertiary amines or tin catalysts like dibutyl tin di-laurate, -tin octoate or tin oleate, UV absorbers and so forth. Well-known urethane crosslin~ing materials, also, may be used such as glycerol, tri-methylol propane, hexane triol, pentaerythritol, sorbitol, ethylene diamine and so forth.
While the binder composition o this invention has been described as useful in making carpet underlay, it, also, can be used in the manufac-ture of upholstery, toys, interliners for clothing, wiping sponges and other fabricated flexible polyurethane articles.
In forming a rebonded urethane foams the polyurethane foam, gen-erally scrap, is comminuted or shredded (chopped, ground, etc.) into rel-atively small particles in conventional apparatus such as a grinder. The particle size of the shredded foam is not critical and will vary depending upon the type of grinding used. Uniformity of particle size is not needed, and a typical shredded foam may contain particles smaller than 1/16 of an inch or smaller up to particles having at least one dimension perhaps 2 inches or more. The shredded Eoam may also contain in commercial practice millor amo~lnts of a wide variety of other scrap materials ranging from, for example, string to polyethylene film.
The shredded foam is then transported to a mixing container such as a ribbon blender or blending trough; and, while the foam particles are being agitated, such as by means of air in the trough or tank, the binder ingredients are added, typically by spraying and thoroughly blended or mixed together. All of the ingredients may be mixed together at once and sprayed onto the shredded polyurethane particles. Alternatively, the diisocyanate and polyol may first be prereacted to form an isocyanate terminated poly-urethane prepolymer and then mixed with the oil and solid, finely divided soybean derivative and then added. The mixture of binder and foam particles is then cast in a mold or other apparatus or compressed to form a log.
After curing ~ith steam or by other means to the state where it can be 7~
halldled, the log is removcd from the apparatus and is peeled to form a long continuous rebonded layer or sheet, e.g., a flexible polyurethane foam car-pet or rug underlay. Shredded foam includes also choppad, comminuted or otherwise cut-up or small particles of foam. The binder composition of this invention is used in a minor amount by weight sufficient to bind the shred-ded polyurethane foam particles together Oll curing to form a bound or adher-enr unitary mass capable of being peeled or veneered to form a load support-ing cushioning carpet or rug underlay. In general, there can be used from about 3 to 15 parts by weight of the binder composition per 100 parts by weight of the shredded flexible polyurethane foam particles. The polyure-thane foam particles may be obtained from flexible polyether urethane foams, polyester-urethane foam or polyether ester urethane foams or mixtures of the same, preferably from polyetherurethcme foams.
