  • Patent number: 4870150
    Abstract: A high performance urethane sealant or coating composition is made from a physical blend of a polypropyleneoxide polyol intermediate and a high molecular weight polybutyleneoxide polyol intermediate or copolymers thereof wherein the comonomer is preferably ethyleneoxide. The urethane prepolymer is made by reacting the physical intermediate blend with a polyisocyanate and preferably blocking the same with blocking agents such as phenols to prevent reaction with moisture in the air. Alternatively, the prepolymer can be end capped with an epoxy. Cure is effected through the utilization of curing agents such as polyamines or polyimines, e.g., diamines, amine terminated polyethers, ketimines, aldimines, and the like. The sealant composition can contain various fillers, organosilanes, and the like. The prepolymers as well as the sealants of the present invention have improved physical rubbery type properties such as higher elongation, lower modulus, and generally improved tensile strength.
