  • Patent number: 4845133
    Abstract: Flexible polyurethane foams are prepared by reacting a polyisocyanate with certain amine-terminated compounds. The amine terminated compounds are characterized in having at least 30 percent of their active hydrogen-containing groups in the form of primary aromatic, Lewis acid-blocked primary aliphatic and/or secondary aromatic or aliphatic amine groups. The resulting foams exhibit excellent physical properties, even in the absence of a cross-linker compound.

  • Patent number: 4686242
    Abstract: This invention comprises a process whereby an amine functional compound having an equivalent weight of at least about 400 is reacted with an excess of a polyisocyanate to form an isocyanate-terminated prepolymer or quasi prepolymer, which polymer or quasi prepolymer is reacted with an isocyanate-reactive material which is preferably a relatively low equivalent weight polyol or mixture thereof with an additional amount of said amine functional compound or a relatively high equivalent weight polyol to form a polyurea containing polymer which is preferably non-cellular or microcellular.
