Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 15
Claim 1
Independent Claim
171 words
A method of releasing non-cellular cured urethane polymers from substrates, which method consists of I. introducing into an uncured non-cellular urethane polymer from 0.5 to 5 weight percent based on the weight of the non-cellular urethane polymer and siloxane-polyoxyalkylene copolymer, a siloxane-polyoxyalkylene copolymer selected from the group consisting of ##STR5## wherein each x has an average value of 3 to 45, each y has an average value of 8 to 198, Me is a methyl radical, wherein --OR x is a polyoxyalkylene polymer or copolymer wherein R is composed of ethylene radicals or butylene radicals and mixtures of ethylene or butylene radicals with propylene radicals, the amount of ethylene or butylene radicals relative to the propylene radicals being such that the ratio of carbon atoms to oxygen atoms in the total --OR-- block ranges from 2.0/1 to 2.9/1, Ii. curing the non-cellular urethane polymer while in contact with a substrate, whereby the siloxane-polyoxyalkylene copolymer is reacted into the non-cellular urethane polymer, and Iii. releasing the cured non-cellular urethane-polymer from said substrate.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
171 words
A method of releasing non-cellular cured urethane polymers from substrates, which method consists of I. introducing into an uncured non-cellular urethane polymer from 0.5 to 5 weight percent based on the weight of the non-cellular urethane polymer and siloxane-polyoxyalkylene copolymer, a siloxane-polyoxyalkylene copolymer selected from the group consisting of ##STR5## wherein each x has an average value of 3 to 45, each y has an average value of 8 to 198, Me is a methyl radical, wherein --OR x is a polyoxyalkylene polymer or copolymer wherein R is composed of ethylene radicals or butylene radicals and mixtures of ethylene or butylene radicals with propylene radicals, the amount of ethylene or butylene radicals relative to the propylene radicals being such that the ratio of carbon atoms to oxygen atoms in the total --OR-- block ranges from 2.0/1 to 2.9/1, Ii. curing the non-cellular urethane polymer while in contact with a substrate, whereby the siloxane-polyoxyalkylene copolymer is reacted into the non-cellular urethane polymer, and Iii. releasing the cured non-cellular urethane-polymer from said substrate.
