Abstract:
Polyurethane elastomers are prepared by reacting a prepolymer (A) of a polyether diol and a diisocyanate with a mixture (B) of a polyester diol and a lower molecular weight glycol at a temperature of from about 60*C. to about 180*C. The reaction product of (A) and (B) is resistant to separation and the polyurethane elastomers combine all of the advantageous properties of both polyether polyurethanes and polyester polyurethanes and are useful as foils and coatings and can be molded into a variety of elastomeric products.
Abstract:
WHERE R is a divalent group such as can be obtained by removing the hydroxyl groups from a diol which has a molecular weight of between 700 and 1750, and Q is a divalent aliphatic, cycloaliphatic, araliphatic or aromatic group which contains 2 to 20, and preferably, 4 to 15, carbon atoms; but Q
Polyurethane elastomers suitable for coating textiles, leather, paper and similar substrate and a multi-stage process for their production. The polyurethane elastomers are obtained from A. A POLYOL WITH AN AVERAGE MOLECULAR WEIGHT BETWEEN 900 AND 5300, B. 4,4''-DIISOCYANATODIPHENYLMETHANE AND C. A DIOL WITH A MOLECULAR WEIGHT BELOW 500, CHARACTERIZED IN THAT THE EQUIVALENT RATIO ((B)/(A)+(C)) IS BETWEEN 0.87 AND 1 AND IN THAT (A) CONTAINS AT LEAST 40% BY WEIGHT OF A POLYURETHANE OF THE FORMULA
Abstract:
POROUS SHEET STRUCTURES AND A PROCESS FOR PRODUCING THEM FROM THERMOPLASTIC ELASTOMERS ARE PROVIDED WHEREIN ABOUT 100 PARTS BY WEIGHT OF A THERMOPLASTIC ELASTOMER ARE PROCESSED IN THE PRESENCE OF FROM ABOUT 60 TO ABOUT 150 PARTS BY WEIGHT OF SODIUM-HYDROGEN CARBONATE AND FROM ABOUT 3 TO ABOUT 15 PARTS BY WEIGHT OF AN ALIPHATIC ORGANIC CARBOXYLIC ACID HAVING A MOLECULAR WEIGHT OF FROM ABOUT 150 TO ABOUT 5000 AND AN ACID NUMBER OF AT LEAST 2.5 ON CALENDERS, PARTICULARLY HEATED CALENDERS, AND THE FILMS OBTAINED ARE FREED FROM SALT BY A SUBSEQUENT RINSING PROCESS. THE STRUCTURES THUS OBTAINED ARE EXCELLENT LEATHER SUBSTITUTES.
