4) Set 3) in a filter bell equipped with a vacuum pump and start depressurization.
5) The pressure is reduced to an absolute pressure of 70 mmHg in 20 seconds from the start of pressure reduction.
6) The height of the foam 60 seconds after the start of decompression is read with a capacity of 100 ml PP cup.

  Those with good defoaming swell once, but break up and return to the original volume (20 ml) around 20-30 seconds after defoaming starts. Those with poor defoaming properties remain inflated without breaking. In the above test, a prepolymer having a capacity of 20 ml or more and 50 ml or less after 60 seconds from the start of decompression was immediately judged to be defoamed because it could be immediately subjected to molding.

<Solvent extraction rate evaluation procedure>
(Solvent extraction rate measurement sample molding method)
Each polyurethane resin-forming composition having a combination shown in Table 2 was degassed under reduced pressure at 10 to 20 kPa for 3 minutes, and then poured into release paper (220 mm × 170 mm × 10 mm). This was left to cure at 45 ° C. for 2 days to obtain a cured resin.

(Extraction test method)
The obtained resin cured product was cut into 1 cm square, 20 g of this was weighed, 10 times the amount of methanol was added to the resin mass, and shaken at 25 ° C. for 24 hours. After filtration and drying, the extraction rate was calculated from the resin mass before and after extraction.

<Resin defoaming property>
Each of the polyurethane resin-forming compositions having the combinations shown in Table 2 was degassed under reduced pressure at 10 to 20 kPa for 3 minutes, and then poured into a stainless steel mold (100 mm × 100 mm × 8 mm). This was left to cure at 45 ° C. for 2 days and then demolded to obtain a cured product. About the obtained hardened | cured material, the external appearance was evaluated visually, the thing without a bubble was set to A, and the thing in which even a bubble is recognized is set to B.

<Monoall synthesis example 1>
In a 1 liter four-necked flask with a stirrer, thermometer, heating device, and distillation tower, 479 parts of ricinoleic acid (CO-FA manufactured by Ito Oil Co., Ltd.), polypropylene glycol monobutyl ether having a number average molecular weight of 340 (Sanyo Chemical Industries) 479 parts), heated to 190 ° C. while raising the temperature at 110 ° C. for 2 hours at a rate of 10 ° C./hour under a nitrogen stream, and further reacted at 190 ° C. for 2 hours. Distilled off. Next, 0.05 parts of tetrabutyl titanate (TBT-100 manufactured by Katayama Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.) was added to stop the nitrogen, and while maintaining the temperature at 190 ° C., the pressure was gradually reduced to 5 kPa, and the water produced by reacting for 4 hours after reaching 5 kPa. Was distilled off. The obtained esterified product had a hydroxyl value of 70 mgKOH / g.

<Example 1>
655.0 g of MDI A1 was added to a 1-liter four-necked flask, and the temperature was adjusted to 50 ° C. with stirring under a nitrogen stream. Next, 345.0 g of polyol B1 was added with stirring, and the temperature was raised to 90 ° C. after the exothermic reaction of the urethanization reaction had subsided. When the internal temperature was stabilized at 90 ° C., 0.1 g of catalyst C was added, and after reacting at 90 ° C. for 4 hours, 0.14 g of catalyst poison E was added to stop the reaction. The synthesized prepolymer was a pale yellow transparent liquid, and its viscosity at 25 ° C. was 1900 mPa · s. As a result of evaluating the defoaming property, the prepolymer F1 which is the object of one embodiment of the present invention was obtained after defoaming was started. The properties and defoaming evaluation results are shown in Table 1.
