Abstract
Abstract Improved thermoset or vulcanized polyurethane elastomers are obtained by adding to liquid polyurethane reactants, prior to reaction to form the polyurethane, organic peroxides having a half-life value of greater than one hour at 100° C. Such mixtures may be heated to form the polyurethane article and thereafter thermoset or vulcanized, or the polyurethane containing the unactivated peroxide may be provided in sheet, crumbs, granules or otherwise and then formed and heated to thermoset or vulcanize the polyurethane.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 16
Claim 1
Independent Claim
57 words
A process for preparing cross-linkable peroxide containing polyurethanes comprising mixing together in a liquid state a hydroxyl or amine terminated compound having a molecular weight greater than 300 with an organic diisocyanate and an organic peroxide having a minimum half-life value of about 1 hour at 100° C. and heating the mixture to form a polyurethane elastomer.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
57 words
A process for preparing cross-linkable peroxide containing polyurethanes comprising mixing together in a liquid state a hydroxyl or amine terminated compound having a molecular weight greater than 300 with an organic diisocyanate and an organic peroxide having a minimum half-life value of about 1 hour at 100° C. and heating the mixture to form a polyurethane elastomer.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
25 words
A process of claim 1 wherein said compound is a hydroxyl terminated polyester, polyether, polylactone or polybutadiene having a molecular weight greater than about 400.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
32 words
A process of claim 2 wherein the diisocyanate is alicyclic, aliphatic or aromatic diisocyanate present in amount to at least react with substantially all of the terminal hydroxyl groups of said compound.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
22 words
A process of claim 2 wherein said organic peroxide is present in amount of at least 0.1 weight percent of the polyurethane.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
45 words
A process of claim 4 wherein a hydroxyl terminated polyester or polyether are present along with an aliphatic diol containing 2 to 8 carbon atoms and an aromatic diisocyanate is present in amount to substantially react with at least about 90% of the hydroxyl groups.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
12 words
A peroxide containing cross-linkable polyurethane prepared by the process of claim 1.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
12 words
A peroxide containing cross-linkable polyurethane prepared by the process of claim 2.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
12 words
A peroxide containing cross-linkable polyurethane prepared by the process of claim 3.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
12 words
A peroxide containing cross-linkable polyurethane prepared by the process of claim 4.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
12 words
A peroxide containing cross-linkable polyurethane prepared by the process of claim 5.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
25 words
A crosslinked polyurethane obtained by heating the peroxide containing polyurethane of claim 6 to activate said peroxide to induce cross-linking to form a thermoset polyurethane.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
25 words
A cross-linked polyurethane obtained by heating the peroxide containing polyurethane of claim 7 to activate said peroxide to induce cross-linking to form a thermoset polyurethane.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
25 words
A cross-linked polyurethane obtained by heating the peroxide containing polyurethane of claim 8 to activate said peroxide to induce cross-linking to form a thermoset polyurethane.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
25 words
A cross-linked polyurethane obtained by heating the peroxide containing polyurethane of claim 9 to activate said peroxide to induce cross-linking to form a thermoset polyurethane.
Claim 16
Dependent Claim
25 words
A cross-linked polyurethane obtained by heating the peroxide containing polyurethane of claim 10 to activate said peroxide to induce cross-linking to form a thermoset polyurethane.
