Abstract
Provided is a process for producing a polyisocyanurate comprising: trimerizing an aliphatic polyisocyanate with a trimerization catalyst in the presence of a thermally decomposable acid at a molar ratio of acid to catalyst of from 0.1 to 10, wherein the polyisocyanurate has a greater pot life than the pot life of the polyisocyanurate not containing the thermally decomposable acid. Polyisocyanurates made according to the inventive process lengthen the pot life of pultrusion composite formulations made therefrom without affecting the reactivity of the formulations. The pultrusion composite formulations of the invention may be cured and pultruded to yield a variety of products such as wind turbine blades, yacht shells, window frames, door frames, ladder frames, telegraph pole cross arms, tent poles, solar cell frames, solar cell backsheets, radomes, highway guard rails, floor boards, pipes, telegraph poles, auto trunks, luggage holders, engine covers, golf clubs, tennis poles, badminton poles, bicycle frames, surfboards, and snowboards.
