Abstract: A polyurethane prepolymer comprising the reaction product of a reactant formulation comprising a polyol entirely derived from a natural oil; a natural oil-petroleum blend polyol; an isocyanate, at least one catalyst, drying agent, and plasticizer, wherein the prepolymer has a bio-based content of from about 15% to about 75% by weight. The prepolymer may be used in adhesive, or sealant compositions.

Abstract: Low modulus, polyurethane sealant or adhesive compositions and a method of reducing the modulus of a polyurethane sealant or adhesive composition, including adding a modulus reducing additive of at least one of rosin esters, hydrogenated rosin esters, or mixtures thereof, to a sealant or adhesive composition including a polyurethane prepolymer, optionally having a bio-based content of from about 15% to about 75% by weight.
