  • Publication number: 20150166717
    Abstract: This invention relates to polyurethane/polyureas with improved catalysis and to a process for the preparation of these polyurethane/polyureas. These materials comprise the reaction product of (A) a (cyclo)aliphatic polyisocyanate or (cyclo)aliphatic polyisocyanate prepolymer, with (B) an isocyanate-reactive component comprising at least one aromatic diamine compound containing from 1 to 8 thiomethyl groups, in the presence of (C) one or more catalysts selected from the group consisting of tin (II) catalysts, bismuth (III) catalysts and mixtures thereof. Preferably, the materials are optically clear.

  • Publication number: 20070185302
    Abstract: This invention relates to polyurethane elastomers and to a process for their production. These elastomers comprise the reaction product of a polyisocyanate component comprising an allophanate modified (cyclo)aliphatic polyisocyanate which has an NCO group content of about 15 to about 35% or a prepolymer thereof, with an isocyanate-reactive component comprising one or more polyether polyols which is free of amine groups, and a low molecular weight organic compound containing two hydroxyl groups and which is free of amine groups, in the presence of one or more catalysts.

  • Publication number: 20070142609
    Abstract: This invention relates to polyurethane elastomers and to a process for their production. These elastomers comprise the reaction product of a (cyclo)aliphatic isocyanate component having an NCO group content of about 20 to about 45%, with an isocyanate-reactive component comprising one or more polyether polyols which is free of amine groups, and a low molecular weight organic compound containing two hydroxyl groups and which is free of amine groups, in the presence of one or more catalysts.

  • Publication number: 20070142610
    Abstract: This invention relates to polyurethane elastomers and to a process for their production. These elastomers comprise the reaction product of a polyisocyanate component comprising an allophanate modified (cyclo)aliphatic polyisocyanate which has an NCO group content of about 15 to about 35% or a prepolymer thereof, with an isocyanate-reactive component comprising a low unsaturation polyether polyols, a low molecular weight organic compound containing two hydroxyl groups and which is free of amine groups, and, optionally, one or more organic compounds having a molecular weight of about 200 to about 500, a hydroxyl functionality of 3 to 4 and comprising an amine-initiated polyether polyol.
