Filled polymer composite and synthetic building material compositions
First Claim
1. A building material comprising:
- a polyurethane formed from reactants comprising;
at least one isocyanate selected from the group consisting of monomeric di-isocyanates, monomeric poly-isocyanates, oligomeric di-isocyanates and oligomeric poly-isocyanates, wherein the isocyanate comprises between about 6 wt % and about 20 wt %, based on the total weight of the composite material;
a first polyol comprising a polyether polyol, the first polyol having a first hydroxyl number in the range of 365 mg KOH/g to 395 mg KOH/g, wherein the first polyol comprises between about 6 wt % and about 18 wt %, based on the total weight of the composite material;
a second polyol comprising a polyether polyol, the second polyol having a second hydroxyl number in the range of 33.8 mg KOH/g to 37.2 mg KOH/g or 56.2 mg KOH/g to 59.0 mg KOH/g, and wherein the second polyol comprises less than about 10 wt %, based on the total weight of the composite material, and wherein the second polyol comprises between about 5 wt % and about 20 wt %, based on the total weight of the first and second polyols being 100 wt %;
water, wherein the water comprises less than about 0.5 wt %, based on the total weight of the composite material;
one or more catalysts, wherein the polyurethane matrix is less rigid than a second polyurethane that would be formed by the reaction of the first polyol and the at least one isocyanate in the absence of the second polyol; and
an inorganic particulate material component, wherein the inorganic particulate material component comprises between 60 wt % and 72 wt %, based on the total weight of the composite material, and wherein the inorganic particulate material component comprises particles with a particle size distribution between about 0.0625 in. and about 325 mesh.

Abstract
The invention relates to composite compositions having a matrix of polymer networks and dispersed phases of particulate or fibrous materials. The polymer matrix contains a polyurethane network formed by the reaction of a poly- or di-isocyanate and one or more saturated polyether or polyester polyols, and an optional polyisocyanurate network formed by the reaction of optionally added water and isocyanate. The matrix is filled with a particulate phase, which can be selected from one or more of a variety of components, such as fly ash particles, axially oriented fibers, fabrics, chopped random fibers, mineral fibers, ground waste glass, granite dust, or other solid waste materials. The addition of water can also serve to provide a blowing agent to the reaction mixture, resulting in a foamed structure, if such is desired.
