Abstract
Abstract A process for preparing molded polyurethane-polyurea elastomers comprising reacting an organic polyisocyanate and a reactive polyol composition, said reactive polyol composition comprising (a) a polyol having an equivalent weight of from 700 to 4,000 and a functionality from 2 to 6; and (b) a reactive aromatic diamine which is soluble in said polyol at use temperatures and concentrations, has a pK b value greater than 10, and has the following structural formula: ##STR1## wherein R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , and R 4 individually are radicals selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and alkyl radicals of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, and at least one of the alkyl radicals in each ring is a non-linear alkyl radical selected from the group consisting of isopropyl, isobutyl, and tertiary butyl radicals, and wherein R 5 and R 6 are radicals individually selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and alkyl radicals of 1 to 4 carbon atoms. The process is preferably carried out by means of reaction injection molding techniques. The process of this invention can be used to prepare large molded parts for automobiles such as facia, bumpers, hoods, doors, and fenders.
