| Abstract | The preparation and characteristics of rigid polyurethane foams (RPUFs) synthesized from polyols obtained by glycolysis of post-industrial waste RPUFs have been studied. More precisely, waste rigid foams that have been chemically recycled by glycolysis in this work are industrially produced pieces for housing and bracket applications. The glycolysis products have been purified by vacuum distillation. The physicochemical properties of the polyols, such as hydroxyl value, acid value, average molecular weight (M-n) and viscosity have been analyzed. The chemical structure and thermal stability of the polyols have been studied by means of FTIR and TGA, respectively. Partial substitution of the commercial polyol (up to 15 wt.%) by the recycled polyols increases the reactivity of the RPUFs synthesis, according to short characteristic times during the foaming process along with more exothermic temperature profiles. Foams formulated with recycled polyols have a lower bulk density (88.3-96.9 kg m(-3)) and smaller cell sizes compared to a conventional reference RPUF. The addition of recycled polyols (up to 10 wt.%) into the formulation causes a slight decrease in compressive properties, whereas tensile strength and modulus values increase remarkably. |
