Abstract: Polyether polycarbonate diols based on 1,6-hexanediol and having a molecular weight of from 500 to 12,000 are made by etherifying 50-100 mole % 1,6-hexane-diol in the presence of 0-50 mole % of specified diols and reacting the resultant polyether with a compound selected from diarylcarbonates, dialkyl carbonates, dioxolanones, hexanediol bischlorocarbonic acid esters, phosgene and urea. These diols are particularly useful in the production of polyurethanes having improved physical properties.

Abstract: The invention provides a process for the production of polyetherester polyols which have hydroxyester groups terminally bound via ester groups to high molecular weight polyether polyol segments. These are produced by first reacting high molecular weight polyoxyalkylene ether polyols with molecular weights of from about 400 to 10,000 with an excess of dicarboxylic acids, dicarboxylic acid anhydrides or dicarboxylic acid esters, and then reacting the intermediate product in a further stage with an excess of diols, based on carboxyl groups.The new, high molecular weight polyetherester polyols thus consist of polyoxyalkylene ether segments, which have terminal ester segments in each case with terminal hydroxyl groups per end group.Moreover, the use is claimed of the high molecular weight polyetherester polyols as polyhydroxyl compounds for forming polyurethanes.

Abstract: Polyurethane elastomers are made by reacting organic polyisocyanates with compounds having at least two groups containing isocyanate-reactive hydrogen atoms and a molecular weight of from 400 to 10,000 and a 1,4-monoanhydro-tetritol in accordance with techniques known to those in the art. Known chain-lengthening agents, auxiliaries and additives may be included in the reaction mixture. The reaction mixtures employed in the process of the present invention have a longer pot life than prior art reaction mixtures. The elastomers produced by this process are shrink stable.

Abstract: This invention relates to a process for the production of polyurethane urea products from isocyanate product blends and preferably less reactive, aromatic diamines, or solutions of aromatic diamines in relatively high molecular weight polyhydroxyl compounds, the reaction components being reacted in a casting process with commercially-reasonable casting times and comparatively short demolding times. For this purpose, relatively high-molecular weight polyhydroxyl compounds, optionally in the presence of low molecular weight diols are reacted with excess quantities of toluene, phenylene or hexamethylene diisocyanate to produce a substantially diisocyanate-free NCO-prepolymer. This NCO-prepolymer is mixed with from 0.1 to 25%, by weight, of less reactive, monomeric tetra-alkyl-diphenylmethane diisocyanates corresponding to the general formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 to R.sub.4, which may be the same or different, represent C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl radicals.
