Embodiment 1

[0076] Examples 1-5 show the effect of adding secondary amine compounds. In these examples, the amount of 1,4-butanediol was reduced relative to the comparative samples to obtain equivalent hard segment content. The difference between the individual hard segment contents was considered insignificant in this set of experiments, as was the difference in hardness. Examples 1 to 5 each had a much better surface appearance than Comparative Sample B (which was prepared using the same catalyst). Examples 2, 3 and 5 actually have surface appearances equivalent to those obtained in Example 1 using the organomercury catalyst. There was little or no adverse effect on physical properties, and in some cases (Examples 3, 4 and 5) an increase in modulus was identified.

Embodiment 6-8

[0077] Embodiment 6-8 and comparative sample C

[0078] Polyol Blends 6-8 and C were prepared from the components shown in Table 2. The polyol was the same as described in the previous examples except that it did not contain molecular sieve paste. Two elastomers were prepared from each of these masterbatches using the general method described for the previous examples. These elastomers are referred to as Examples 6-1, 6-2, 7-1, 7-2, 8-1, 8-2 and Comparative Samples C-1 and C-2, respectively. The corresponding polyol blend amounts and polyisocyanate amounts are described in Table 3. After demoulding, the elastomers were post-cured at 80°C for about 1 hour, and physical properties were measured according to ASTM D1708. The measured properties are reported in Table 4 as Examples 6-8 and Comparative Sample C.

Abstract

Polyurethane elastomers are formed by curing a reaction mixture containing at least one polyisocyanate at least one polyol, an aliphatic diol chain extender and a small amount of a secondary amino compound that may have none or one or more hydroxyl groups. The reaction is catalyzed with a metal catalyst. In certain embodiments, the catalyst is an organozirconium, organotitanium or tertiary amine-based catalyst. The presence of the secondary amine compound in those cases provides for a good surface appearance and good physical properties.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to US Provisional Patent Application 61 / 420,385, filed December 7, 2010. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to a process for preparing cast polyurethane elastomers. Background technique [0004] Polyurethane elastomers are prepared by reacting high equivalent weight polyols and chain extender species with polyisocyanate compounds. The starting materials are mixed, usually degassed, and transferred to a mold where the elastomer is cured, usually with the application of heat. Some or all of the high equivalent weight polyols can be pre-reacted with polyisocyanates in an initial step to form isocyanate-terminated prepolymers or quasi-prepolymers. Such a prepolymer is then reacted with a chain extender and optionally the remainder of the high equivalent weight polyol during the molding step. [0005] Mold opening time (Open time) is very important in cast elastomer me...
