摘要:
The present invention is a low haze thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) prepared from a chain extender mixture that includes an acyclic diol and a mixture of 1,3- and 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol. The TPU elastomers exhibit good optical clarity, particularly when formed into relatively thick injection molded parts.
摘要:
The present invention is a low haze thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) comprising structural units of a diisocyanate; a diol and three different chain extenders (butanediol chain extender; a different linear diol co-chain-extender and a cyclic co-chain-ex-tender). The TPU has good combinations of light transmission and clarity, low temperature flexibility, and high moisture vapor transition rates compared to other commercial or known TPUs. The preferred composition is a TPU that is based on polycaprolactone as diol, MDI as the diisocyanate monomer, butanediol chain extender, 1,3 propanediol linear chain co-extender and cyclohexanedimethanol cyclic chain co-extenders, and has good clarity and tensile strength.
摘要:
The present invention is a blend of a polymeric hydrocarbon and a thermoplastic polyurethane which is compatibilized a polymeric hydrocarbon that contains low concentrations of isocyanate reactive group. The compatibilizer can be prepared by reacting a modified polymer having pendant or incorporated amine-reactive groups with a hydroxyl amine, a diamine, or a polyethermonoamine. The compatibilized blend may further include a non-TPU engineering thermoplastic to form compatible blends of the polymeric hydrocarbon and the non-TPU engineering thermoplastic. In this case, the TPU is used as a co-compatibilizer.
