Abstract: The current invention relates to a composition for the preparation of thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer for use in a powder slush molding process. The composition for the preparation of thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer includes a polymer consisting of isocyanate, a chain-extension agent and polyol, and montan wax. When the thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer prepared using the composition of the current invention is used in a powder slush molding process, a molded end product is easily released at a powder slush molding process, and molding energy is lowered by lowing a process temperature, thereby shortening a process cycle time, and also, the decreased incidence of a blooming phenomenon and of pin holes results in improved flatness of the molded product. The molding composition of this invention is suitable for manufacturing skin materials of automobile instrument panels.

Abstract: Disclosed is a thermoplastic polyurethane for slash molding, excellent in moldability, capable of providing a skin material having a uniform thickness, and capable of allowing a minute laser processing or the like to be vehicleried out thereon. Also, the present invention discloses a skin material comprising the thermoplastic polyurethane. The thermoplastic polyurethane of the present invention is prepared in a form of a powdery resin by mixing and then condensing an amount of 15-60 parts by weight of one or more isocyanate compounds; an amount of 30-70 parts by weight of an ether-containing polyester polyol; and an amount of 5-40 parts by weight of one or more chain extenders.
