Abstract
Abstract This invention pertains to the manufacture of polyurethane-urea elastomers formed by reacting a prepolymer of an organic polyisocyanate and a compound having at least two Zerewitenoff active hydrogen atoms with a chain extender comprising t-butylbenzenediamine. The utilization of t-butylbenzenediamine as an aromatic diamine chain extender imparts flexibility in the handling of reactable compositions due to an increase in pot life and imparts excellent tensile modulus to the resulting polymer.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
61 words
In a process for the production of polyurethane urea elastomers comprising reacting: (a) organic polyisocyanate; (b) organic compounds having molecular weights of from 400-10,000 and containing at least two Zerewitenoff active hydrogen atoms; and (c) an aromatic diamine as a chain extending agent; the improvement wherein at least a portion of the aromatic diamine used as a chain extender is t-butylbenzenediamine.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
61 words
In a process for the production of polyurethane urea elastomers comprising reacting: (a) organic polyisocyanate; (b) organic compounds having molecular weights of from 400-10,000 and containing at least two Zerewitenoff active hydrogen atoms; and (c) an aromatic diamine as a chain extending agent; the improvement wherein at least a portion of the aromatic diamine used as a chain extender is t-butylbenzenediamine.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
26 words
The process of claim 1 wherein at least 50% of the equivalent weight of the total amount of aromatic chain extender employed is provided by t-butylbenzenediamine.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
31 words
The process of claim 2 wherein the t-butylbenzenediamine extender is incorporated in an equivalent amount of at least 25 to 75 percent of the equivalent weight of the chain extender system.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
43 words
The process of claim 2 wherein said polyurethane urea elastomers are formed by reacting a prepolymer of said isocyanate and organic compound having an isocyanate content of 1 to 25% by weight and then reacting said prepolymer with said chain extender comprising t-butylbenzenediamine.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
11 words
The process of claim 4 wherein said isocyanate is toluene diisocyanate.
