Abstract
Polyurethane materials are widely used, yet their thermal hazards remain underexplored. This study investigates the solvent-free polyaddition of hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) and hydroxyethyl acrylate (HEA) under trace moisture conditions. Titration results showed that moisture significantly reduces the reaction rate, while Karl Fischer titration confirmed effective moisture removal using molecular sieves. NMR and FTIR revealed that dehydration enhances isocyanate electrophilicity and hydroxyl nucleophilicity, accelerating the reaction. DSC indicated that moisture induces additional exothermic peaks due to side reactions, and ARC testing showed elevated initial temperatures and reduced adiabatic temperature rise. A kinetic model revealed a consistent reaction order of 0.8, regardless of moisture. TD8 and TD24 were predicted, and a risk matrix assessed the thermal hazards. This study provides essential guidance for the safe and efficient development of novel eco-friendly polyurethane formulations and offers valuable insights for large-scale industrial safety.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry is published monthly in English by the Korean Society of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry. JIEC brings together multidisciplinary interests in one journal and is to disseminate information on all aspects of research and development in industrial and engineering chemistry. Contributions in the form of research articles, short communications, notes and reviews are considered for publication. The editors welcome original contributions that have not been and are not to be published elsewhere. Instruction to authors and a manuscript submissions form are printed at the end of each issue. Bulk reprints of individual articles can be ordered. This publication is partially supported by Korea Research Foundation and the Korean Federation of Science and Technology Societies.
