Abstract: In one aspect, the invention relates to storage-stable and flowable polyurethane compositions comprising (a) one or more isocyanate-terminated polyurethane prepolymers derived from one or more hydrocarbon ring-containing diisocyanates and/or triisocyanates and one or more polyols; (b) one or more metal salt complexes of methylenedianiline; and (c) one or more organic acid halide compounds having one or more acid halide groups, wherein the one or more organic acid halide compounds are in an amount wherein the acid halide groups are present in a minimum concentration of about 100 parts per million by weight of the polyurethane prepolymer. In other aspects, the invention relates to methods for storing the curable polyurethane compositions, as well as methods for producing polyurethane elastomers.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compounds containing dual substitutions of an aromatic amine and hindered phenol functionality useful as stabilizers for organic materials. These compounds are of the general formula: ##STR1## R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, substituted or unsubstituted aryl, and substituted or unsubstituted alkyl of 1 to 20 carbon atoms;R.sub.3 is alkylene of 1 to 10 carbon atoms;m is 0 or 1;n is an integer of 1 to 10;q is an integer of 0 to 8;z is 1 or 2, provided that, when q is 0, z must be 1;X represents the links of a chain q links in length, said links being selected from the group consisting of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur, silicon, and mixtures thereof; andY is an aromatic group or .PHI., provided that Y can be .PHI.only when q is 0 and m is 1.
