Patent number: 11332569Abstract: The present disclosure provides for a polyurethane elastomer foam formed by reacting a mixture that includes 60 to 50 weight percent (wt. %) of a polyol formulation and 40 to 50 wt. % isocyanate pre-polymer (wt. % based on the total weight of the mixture). The polyol formulation includes 85 to 92 wt. % of a polytetramethylene ether glycol (PTMEG) with a weight average molecular weight of 1900 to 2100 and a hydroxyl number of about 53 to about 60; 4 to 10 wt. % of monoethylene glycol; a blowing agent; a catalyst; and a surfactant (wt. % values for the polyol formulation based on the total weight of the polyol formulation). The isocyanate pre-polymer includes 55 to 70 wt. % of a isocyanate blend having at least 90 wt. % of 4,4?-diphenylmethane diisocyanate; and 30 to 45 wt. % of the PTMEG, where the isocyanate pre-polymer has an isocyanate content of 16 to 21 wt.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2018Date of Patent: May 17, 2022Assignees: Dow Global Technologies LLC, Dow Italia Divisione Commerciale S.R.L.Inventors: Silvia Scussolin, Luciano Zanacchi, Alessio Sabadini
