Reaction kinetics between 4,4'-dihexyl methane diisocyanate($H_{12}MDI$) and n-hexanol in toluene with dibutyltin dilaurate(DBTDL) as catalyst was studied by experimental measurements and mathematical modeling. Experiments were carried out at various temperatures, catalyst concentrations and [NCO]/[OH] ratios, and the reaction kinetics were described by two second-order reactions, the one between NCO and OH leading to urethane and the other between urethane and NCO leading to allophanate. The rate constants were estimated by the Runge-Kutta 4th-order method. Experiments and mathematical simulations showed a good agreement for various experimental conditions. The [allophanate]/[urethane] ratios at 90% conversion of initial NCO were estimated to be over 20% for most conditions employed in the present study, indicating that allophanate formation might significantly affect the properties of urethane polymers.

Characteristics of microcapsule wall depend on chemical and physical condition in procedure such as type and concentration of constituent and microencapsulation methods, thus, if the other process conditions are same, they depend on mainly types of wall-forming materials. Isocyanates used in this study are very important constituent as hard segments preparing urethane or urea by reaction with alcohol or amine. (omitted)
