Embodiment 1-2

[0085] A blend of 1721.5 g of polyol A and 1176 g of polyol B was dehydrated in vacuo at 120°C for 1 hour. After cooling to room temperature, 50 ppm of ZNO was mixed into the blend. 724.4 g of MDI were added at 55°C. The reaction mixture was heated at 80° C. for 90 minutes until the NCO content of the prepolymer was 3.04%.

[0086] At 60°C, 1553.0 g of DMAc was added to the prepolymer, and the mixture was cooled to 25°C. The homogenized mixture of prepolymer and DMAc had an NCO content of 2.00%. Divide diluted prepolymer into 2 parts:

[0087] Part 1 (Example 1): 21.81 g of EDA, 11.10 g of IPDA, 0.95 g of DEA and 2348 g of DMAc were added to 1702 g of diluted prepolymer under rapid mixing. After one hour of mixing, the resulting solution had a viscosity of 30.8 Pa.s. An additional 65.4 g of the diluted prepolymer was added and mixed for 30 minutes. At this time, the viscosity of the solution was 57 Pa.s. An additional 43.1 of the diluted prepolymer was added and mixed f...

Embodiment 3 and comparative Embodiment 4

[0092] The procedure used in Example 1 and Comparative Example 2 was repeated using Polyol C. The relative amounts of raw materials used and the properties of the polymer solutions and fibers made from the solutions are listed in Table 1.

Embodiment 6-12

[0104] The prepolymers and fibers of Comparative Example 6 and Example 7 were prepared by the same procedure used in Examples 1 and 2, using the raw materials listed in Table 2 in the amounts indicated in Table 2.

[0105] The following procedure was used for Examples 9, 10, 11, 12 and Comparative Example 8. In an autoclave reactor, a single batch of 73 kg prepolymer was prepared from MDI, Polyol D and Polyol E in the relative amounts indicated in Table 2. The prepolymer was diluted with DMAc and reacted with a DMAc / amine stream in a continuous mechanical polymerizer to obtain a solution with the composition and characteristics listed in Table 2. Calculated on an equivalent basis, there was a 2% excess of amine groups relative to the NCO groups. The solution was then dry spun to form 40 denier fibers.

Abstract

Segmented polyurethane / ureas useful in the production of spandex are produced by chain extending an isocyanate-terminated prepolymer with a diamine chain extender that includes: (1) from about 7 to 25 equivalent percent of an asymmetric aliphatic and / or cycloaliphatic diamine and (2) a linear diamine such as ethylene diamine in the presence of a solvent. The isocyanate-terminated prepolymer is produced by reacting a stoichiometric excess of an isocyanate with an isocyanate-reactive component that includes: (1) from about 10 to about 70 equivalent percent of a polyoxypropylene diol having a molecular weight in excess of 1500 Da and an average unsaturation level no greater than about 0.03 meq / g and (2) from about 30 to about 90 equivalent percent of a polytetramethylene ether glycol having a molecular weight of at least 600 Da.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to segmented polyurethane / urea, which has excellent elastic, mechanical and thermal properties, to fibers made of such polyurethane / urea and to the production process of such polyurethane / urea and fiber. More specifically, the present invention relates to polyurethane / urea and spandex fibers made from isocyanate-terminated prepolymers derived from polytetramethylene ether glycol (PTMEG) and low unsaturation, Mixtures of high molecular weight polyoxyalkylene glycols in which the prepolymer is chain-extended with a linear diamine and at least one asymmetric aliphatic and / or cycloaliphatic diamine. Background technique [0002] Polyurethane / urea in the form of fibers and films with elastic properties has been widely used in the textile industry. The term "spandex" is commonly used to describe these elastomeric polyurethanes / ureas, which are long-chain synthetic polymers composed of at least 85% by weight segmented polyuretha...
