Abstract:
PVC-skinned composites include a substrate, a skin and an intermediate polyurethane layer. The polyurethane layer is characterized in having a low molecular weight between crosslinks, i.e. , is somewhat highly crosslinked. The high level of crosslinking in the polyurethane leads to improved performance of the skin layer. The skin layer retains its original color upon aging, is less prone to shrinking and other loss of physical properties, and adheres better to the polyurethane layer.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a reactive formulation used to make a polyurethane foam which is particularly suited for use in under the hood vehicle applications which require sound deadening and vibration management and a process to make said foam. In particular, the polyurethane foam is made from a reactive formulation comprising an A side comprising (i) one or more organic isocyanate and a B side comprising (ii) one or more isocyanate-reactive component, (iii) a carbon nanofiller; and (iv) one or more additional component selected from a catalyst, a blowing agent, a cell opener, a surfactant, a crosslinker, a chain extender, a filler, a colorant, a pigment, an antistatic agent, reinforcing fibers, an antioxidant, a preservative, or an acid scavenger.
Abstract:
Flexible polyurethane foams are made using certain hydrolysable silane compounds in the foam formulation. The hydrolysable silane compounds contain at least one isocyanate-reactive group and at least one hydrolysable silane group. The presence of the hydrolysable silane compound in the foam formulation leads to improved tensile, tear and elongation properties without an adverse effect on other important foam properties such as resiliency and hysteresis loss.

Abstract:
Skinned composites contain a plasticized polymer skin layer adhered to a layer of a polyurethane. The polyurethane is made from a reaction mixture that contains specified amounts of a polyester polyol and an acidic material. The presence of both the polyester polyol and acid leads to significantly improved adhesion between the polyurethane and skin layer. The invention is particularly useful when the skin is highly plasticized.
