Abstract
Abstract A process for the preparation of optionally cellular elastic moldings by the reaction injection molding technique in closed molds, in which isocyanate prepolymers A) based on a) polyisocyanates of the diphenylmethane series and b) polyether polyols having a maximum hydroxyl functionality of 2.4 are reacted with a reactive component B) consisting essentially of aromatic, alkyl-substituted diamines, optionally with the addition of auxiliary agents and additives d).
