Abstract A polyol gel is made from 15-62 wt. % (based on the sum of polyurethane matrix plus dispersing agent) of a high molecular weight covalently cross-linked polyurethane matrix; 85-38 wt. % (based on the sum of polyurethane matrix plus dispersing agent) of a liquid dispersing agent which is firmly bonded to the matrix; and optionally, active ingredients, fillers, additives, catalysts, and mixtures thereof. The liquid dispersing agent is a polyhydroxyl compound having a molecular weight of between 1,000 and 12,000 and an OH number between 20 and 112. This dispersing agent should have virtually no hydroxyl compounds having a molecular weight below 800 present. These gel compositions may be used to make mold impressions and highly stable active-ingredient releasing compositions.
A process for taking an impression of an object in which a gel-forming composition is first poured over the object, the gel-forming composition is permitted to gel, and the object is subsequently removed in which the gel-forming composition comprises: (a) a polyisocyanate; and (b) a polyhydroxyl compound having a molecular weight between 1,000 and 12,000 and an OH number between 20 and 112 said composition being essentially free of hydroxyl compounds having a moleular weight less than 800, having an isocyanate index between 15 and 60 with the product of the isocyanate and hydroxyl functionalities being at least 5.2
