Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
113 words
An improved polyetherurethane micro cellular foam bumper consisting essentially of a reaction product of a polyether polyol having from 2 to about 4 hydroxyl groups and an averaged value of about 2.0 to 2.1 with hexamethylene diisocyanate to form a prepolymer containing free NCO and curing said prepolymer in the presence of essentially sufficient curative to react with the free NCO in the presence of a gaseous blowing agent to yield a foam, said polyether polyol being a blend of 95 to 99 percent by weight of polytetramethylene ether glycol of about 1000 molecular weight and 5 to 1 percent of polyol of 3 to 4 hydroxyl of less than 300 molecular weight.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
113 words
An improved polyetherurethane micro cellular foam bumper consisting essentially of a reaction product of a polyether polyol having from 2 to about 4 hydroxyl groups and an averaged value of about 2.0 to 2.1 with hexamethylene diisocyanate to form a prepolymer containing free NCO and curing said prepolymer in the presence of essentially sufficient curative to react with the free NCO in the presence of a gaseous blowing agent to yield a foam, said polyether polyol being a blend of 95 to 99 percent by weight of polytetramethylene ether glycol of about 1000 molecular weight and 5 to 1 percent of polyol of 3 to 4 hydroxyl of less than 300 molecular weight.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
19 words
The polyetherurethane of claim 1 wherein the curative is a blend of polypropylene ether polyol and polytetramethylene ether glycol.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
39 words
The bumber according to claim 1 wherein the bumber has a specific gravity of about 0.62, tear resistance of 9,000 to 11,000 N/M, tensile strength of 3,300 to 3,600 kPa and a permanent deformation of 9.4 to 9.9 percent.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
111 words
A polyetherurethane micro cellular foam consisting essentially of a reaction product of a polyether polyol having from 2 to about 4 hydroxyl groups and an averaged value of about 2.0 to 2.1 with hexamethylene diisocyanate to form a prepolymer containing free NCO and curing said prepolymer in the presence of essentially sufficient curative to react with the free NCO in the presence of a gaseous blowing agent to yield a foam, said polyether polyol being a blend of 95 to 99 percent by weight of polytetramethylene ether glycol of about 1000 molecular weight and 5 to 1 percent of polyol of 3 to 4 hydroxyl of less than 300 molecular weight.
