Claims
- 1. A dispersant suitable for enhancing the stability of polymer polyols formed by polymerizing from about 5 to about 90 weight percent of at least one acrylate monomer selected from the group consisting of C.sub.1 -C.sub.20 alkyl esters of acrylic and methacrylic acids in from about 95 to about 10 weight percent first polyoxyalkylene polyether polyol to form a single phase of a homogeneous liquid intermediate reaction product followed by transesterifying from about 1 to about 30 mole percent of the total ester groups of the acrylate in the intermediate reaction product with the hydroxyl groups of said first polyoxyalkylene polyether polyol to form the polyol polyacrylate dispersant.
- 2. The dispersant of claim 1 in which an additional amount of said first polyol is added to dilute the acrylate just prior to transesterifying.
- 3. The dispersant of claim 1 in which a second polyoxyalkylene polyether polyol different from said first polyoxyalkylene polyether polyol is added to dilute the acrylate just prior to transesterifying.
- 4. A dispersant suitable for enhancing the stability of polymer polyols formed by blending from about 5 to about 90 weight percent of at least one acrylate polymer selected from the group consisting of homopolymers and copolymers of C.sub.1 -C.sub.20 alkyl esters of acrylic and methacrylic acids with from about 95 to about 10 weight percent of a first polyoxyalkylene polyether polyol to form a single phase homogeneous liquid intermediate blend followed by transesterifying from about 1 to about 30 mole percent of the total ester groups of the acrylate with the hydroxyl groups of a second polyoxyalkylene polyether polyol to form the polyol polyacrylate dispersant, said dispersant being employed in an amount sufficient to enhance the stability of the resulting polymer polyol as compared to the stability of the polymer polyol in the absence of polyol polyacrylate dispersant.
- 5. The dispersant of claim 4 in which an additional amount of said first polyol is added to dilute the acrylate just prior to transesterifying.
- 6. The dispersant of claim 4 in which a second polyoxylkylene polyether polyol different from said first polyoxyalkylene polyether polyol is added to dilute the acrylate just prior to transesterifying.
