Abstract
Abstract A thermosetting urethane elastomer is prepared from: (a) a prepolymer having isocyanate groups at terminal ends obtained by allowing p-phenylene diisocyanate to react with a compound having 2 or more active hydrogens, and (b) curing agents of 1,4-bis(2-hydroxyethoxy)benzene and trimethylolpropane or 1,4-bis(2-hydroxyethoxy)benzene and a polyol having isocyanurate ring.
