Abstract
The rigid polyurethane foams (PUF) were prepared using polyols with 90, 110, 130, and 150 isocyanate index. The effect of sea water on the physical properties of PUF with the increase in isocyanate (NCO) index and ageing time was investigated. Tensile strengths and compressive strengths of the PUFs decreased up to 10% and 7% with an increase in ageing time, respectively. Cell morphology of the PUF under sea water was turned out to be the same as that in the ambient condition. It was observed that $T_g$ and tensile modulus of the PUF under sea water increased. The results showed an additional cross-link reaction of non-reacted MDI and the change of NCO peak as observed from FT-IR spectrum.
