Abstract
An elastomeric composite polyurethane skin having an average flexural modulus, measured in accordance with ASTM D790-03, smaller than 35 MPa is disclosed. The elastomeric composite polyurethane skin includes a first aliphatic polyurethane layer made from a first polyurethane reaction mixture having at least one isocyanate compound with at least two NCO-groups which are not directly attached to an aromatic group, at least one isocyanate-reactive component (B1), and at least one catalyst component (C1) substantially free of lead, and a second aromatic polyurethane layer made from a second polyurethane reaction mixture having at least one aromatic isocyanate compound (A2), and at least one isocyanate-reactive component (B2).
Claims17
An elastomeric composite polyurethane skin having an average flexural modulus, measured in accordance with ASTM D790-03, smaller than 35 MPa;
- said elastomeric composite polyurethane skins comprising:
- a first sprayed aliphatic polyurethane layer made from a first polyurethane reaction mixture wherein said first polyurethane reaction mixture comprises at least one isocyanate compound (A1) having at least two NCO-groups which are not directly attached to an aromatic group, at least one isocyanate-reactive component (B1) and at least one catalyst component (C1) wherein the catalyst component (C1) comprises lead in a content lower than 100 ppm, relative to the total weight of the first polyurethane reaction mixture, and
- a second sprayed aromatic polyurethane layer made from a second polyurethane reaction mixture wherein said second polyurethane reaction mixture comprises at least one aromatic isocyanate compound (A2), and at least one isocyanate-reactive component (B2),
- wherein the elastomeric composite polyurethane skin has an average areal weight of equal to or less than 750 g/m2 and the second aromatic polyurethane layer has a second average areal weight of less than 300 g/m2, and
- wherein the first sprayed aliphatic polyurethane layer and the second sprayed aromatic polyurethane layer are formed by spraying the first polyurethane reaction mixture and the second polyurethane reaction mixture, respectively.
