Abstract
Abstract The invention relates to a process for the manufacture of noncellular polyurethane elastomers by reacting 4,4'-diisocyanato-1,2-diphenylethane or diisocyanato-1,2-diphenylethane isomer mixtures with a 4,4'-diisocyanato-1,2-diphenylethane content in excess of 95 percent by weight, higher molecular weight polyhydroxyl compounds and low molecular weight chain extenders optionally in the presence of auxiliaries and additives. The polyurethane elastomers produced in accordance with this invention excel by a greater hardness and improved mechanical properties compared with polyurethane elastomers based on 4,4'-diphenylmethane diisocyanate with otherwise comparable composition.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
114 words
In a process for the preparation of a noncellular polyurethane elastomer comprising reacting (a) an organic polyisocyanate; (b) a polyhydroxyl compound having an average functionality of 2 to 6 and an average molecular weight of 700 to 10,000; (c) a chain extender having a molecular weight less than 500 and selected from the group consisting of aliphatic diols, aromatic diamines, and mixtures thereof; and (d) catalysts and other additives; the improvement comprising employing as the organic polyisocyanate 4,4'-diisocyanato-1,2-diphenylethane containing 0 to 5 weight percent of the 2,2'- and 2,4'-isomers in an amount equal to 0.8 to 1.3 isocyanate groups per mole of Zerewitinoff active hydrogen atoms in the combined polyhydroxyl compound and chain extender.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
114 words
In a process for the preparation of a noncellular polyurethane elastomer comprising reacting (a) an organic polyisocyanate; (b) a polyhydroxyl compound having an average functionality of 2 to 6 and an average molecular weight of 700 to 10,000; (c) a chain extender having a molecular weight less than 500 and selected from the group consisting of aliphatic diols, aromatic diamines, and mixtures thereof; and (d) catalysts and other additives; the improvement comprising employing as the organic polyisocyanate 4,4'-diisocyanato-1,2-diphenylethane containing 0 to 5 weight percent of the 2,2'- and 2,4'-isomers in an amount equal to 0.8 to 1.3 isocyanate groups per mole of Zerewitinoff active hydrogen atoms in the combined polyhydroxyl compound and chain extender.
