Abstract
Abstract Polyurethane elastomers are described which are not themselves soluble in organic polar solvents at ambient temperatures but which, upon heating to 140 DEG - 180 DEG C in the presence of said solvents, form solutions which are stable at ambient temperatures. The elastomers are obtained by reacting 4,4'-methylenebis(phenyl isocyanate) with a polyester of polyether diol (M. W. = 750 to 2000) and diol extender in the presence of a monohydric alcohol (M. W. = 32 to 500). The elastomers generally have softening points in the range of 140 DEG C to 180 DEG C.
