Abstract: Fluid separatory devices containing novel polyurethane potting and adhesive compositions comprising the reaction product of an aliphatic polyisocyanate with a propoxylated polyether amine in the presence of a metallo-organic catalyst selected from the group consisting of the organic acid salts and the .beta.-diketonates of zinc, iron, copper, manganese, mercury, lead, and mixtures thereof, said catalyst being present in an amount effective to substantially increase the cure rate and prevent bubble formation. Nontoxic metallo-organic catalysts based on zinc, iron, and copper are preferred for use in separatory devices for blood dialysis and water purification.
Abstract: Thermosetting molds are formed with electrically conductive surfaces for use in high frequency energy flow molding of sheet materials. Preferably the mold of this invention has a highly electrically conductive layer preferably in an epoxy gel coat carrying electrically conductive particles of gold, silver or platinum and positioned over a compatible epoxy mold body. A vacuum molding technique is used to obtain good surface definition in surface molding.
Abstract: A mold has a silicone rubber body defining a molding cavity with a polymeric backer forming a support for the body integrally joined to the body by an adhesive bond. A cured silicone rubber or silicone resin is bonded to anyone of a variety of polymeric substances by applying an activating primer such as trimethylbenzyl ammonium hydroxide and subsequently or simultaneously applying a bridging agent which bonds to the activated silicone surface and also provides bonding sites for later attachment to polymers containing isocyanates, epoxides and/or other reactive groups.
