Hydroxyl-containing polyurethanes I are composed essentially of a) a diisocyanate of 6 to 30 carbon atoms (component II), b) a component III comprising .alpha.) an aliphatic diol of 2 to 20 carbon atoms or .beta.) an aromatic-aliphatic or aromatic-cycloaliphatic diol of 8 to 30 carbon atoms having nonphenolic hydroxyl groups as hydroxyl groups of the diol and c) a polyhydric alcohol having at least 3 hydroxyl groups, 3 to 18 carbon atoms and nonphenolic hydroxyl groups as hydroxyl groups of the ...

Novel polyurethanes having superior high temperature performance are prepared by reacting 3,5-di(methylthio)2,6-diaminotoluene with a toluenediisocyanate prepolymer having a free --NCO content of 0.1-20% by weight, preferably a toluenediisocyanate/polyether glycol prepolymer having a free --NCO content of 2-7% by weight. The elastomers have good dynamic properties, such as resilience, that make them attractive as tire-forming materials.

Novel polyisocyanates are provided, and thermoplastic polyurethane resins are produced therefrom which are suitable as substrates for film, fiber and foam products.

Novel polyurethane-urea foams having superior tear and tensile strengths, elongation and load-bearing are prepared by reacting an alkylthio-substituted aromatic diamine in a mixture of polyols with an aromatic diisocyanate or aromatic diisocyanate prepolymer or mixtures thereof, having free NCO content of 0.1-50% by weight. These foams have good dynamic properties that make them attractive as cushioning materials.

Polyurethanes are provided which have a polymeric backbone including recurring urethane or urea groups or both and which are reaction products including macroglycols, diisocyanates, and preferably chain extending agents. The polyurethanes may take the form of poly(fluorosilicone urethanes) and include recurring organosilicone moieties from a fluoroalkylsiloxane reactant. When it is desired that these polyurethanes be capable of forming fibers in air, then the reactant charge should be such that ...

Polyurethanes I obtained by reacting 1) an isocyanate II as defined in the specification with 2) a compound V which is suitable as chain extender, obtained by a) reacting a polyhydric alcohol VI with b1) a compound VII, which includes an epoxy function and, in addition, an alcohol-reactive functional group, to form a compound VIII, and reacting a compound VIII with an .alpha.,.beta.-olefinically unsaturated carboxylic acid IX to give a compound X or b2) an .alpha.,.beta.-olefinically unsaturated...

Novel polyurethanes are prepared in the novel process which comprises reacting a polyisocyanate, such as toluene diisocyanate, with an oxaminated polyol. The oxaminated polyols described herein are polyols which have been reacted with a mixture of an N-substituted aziridine and a monoepoxide; such as polyoxypropylene glycol which has been reacted with a mixture of N-ethyl aziridine and ethylene oxide.
