Abstract: Methods for forming elastomeric polyurethane articles are provided in which an isocyanate component including an isocyanate prepolymer is mixed with an isocyanate-reactive component having a viscosity ranging from 50,000 to 200,000 centipoise as measured by ASTM standard D2196, and wherein is applied as one or more layers onto a surface of a carrier substrate at an application rate ranging from 0.5 to 20 g/sec, with each one of said applied one or more layers independently having a thickness ranging from 0.2 and 10 millimeters and having a total thickness ranging from ranging from 0.2 to 60 millimeters. The applied layers are cured in the absence of added heat via an exothermic reaction to form the elastomeric polyurethane article having an abrasion resistance ranging from 20 to 250 mm3, a hardness ranging from 60 Asker C to 90 Asker C, and a density ranging from 330 and 1000 kg/m3.

Abstract: A graft polyol includes a natural oil including at least 50% by weight of a natural oil polyol. Particles are dispersed in the natural oil and comprise the reaction product of a macromer polyol, a polymerizable monomer, a chain transfer agent, and a free radical initiator. The macromer polyol and the polymerizable monomer react in the presence of the natural oil. The graft polyol is formed by providing the natural oil and providing the macromer polyol, the chain transfer agent, the free radical initiator, and the polymerizable monomer. The natural oil, the polymerizable monomer, the macromer polyol, the chain transfer agent, and the free radical initiator are combined, and the polymerizable monomer, the macromer polyol, the chain transfer agent, and the free radical initiator react to form particles dispersed in the natural oil.
