Abstract: A two-part pourable composition capable of forming a dielectric, thermally stable, hydrolytically stable, moisture insensitive polyurethane gel comprising in a first part an aliphatic or cycloaliphatic isocyanate and an aliphatic/naphthenic hydrocarbon oil, and in a second part a polyalkadiene polyol, a dialkyl organotin catalyst, and the aliphatic/naphthenic oil. The gel is ideally suitable as a filler for communication cable splices since it is substantially inert toward molded polycarbonate connectors conventionally used in such splices.

Representative useful species of such polyols include aliphatic alcohols, such as glycerol and erythritol, polymethylols such as trimethylolpropane, alkanolamines such as triethanolamine and relatively low molecular weight alkylene oxide adducts such as propylene - glycerol adducts and the like. Especially effective diecuttable foam formulations are provided by further employing, as co-additives, certain alkylene oxide adducts of linear alcohols or phenols, sulfonated petroleum oils, ammonium salts and silicone-containing copolymers. If desired, the viscosity and compatibility characteristics of the additive and/or additive and co-additive mixture may be modified by the incorporation of a diluent.
