Abstract: The present invention provides NCO prepolymers having a high content of 2,4′-diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI). The inventive NCO prepolymers combine the low temperature liquidity and slower reactivity of a 2,4′-MDI prepolymer with the ability to produce a product having the better tensile and tear strength characteristics as is seen in articles made from a 4,4′-MDI prepolymer. The NCO prepolymers of the present invention find use in preparing elastomeric coatings, adhesives, sealants and the like.
