Abstract
Covers certain aromatic-amine amides which comprise the reaction product of an alkylene polyoxypropylene diamine, triamine, or tetramine and an isatoic anhydride of the formula: ##STR1## where R" is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl, nitro, halo, hydroxy, amino, and cyano, and n is a number of 1-4. Also covers the use of said compounds as chain-extenders in polyurethane compositions. Such chain-extenders provide for the production of polyurethane elastomers having improved tensile strength, tear strength and elongation properties.
Claims2

- ##STR12## where R" is selected from a group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl, nitro, halo, hydroxy, amine and cyano and n is a number of from 1 to 4, and R is
- --(CH.sub.2)--.sub.r or --(CH.sub.2)--.sub.r --O--(CH.sub.2).sub.s ].sub.z (CH.sub.2).sub.t
- where x and y are numbers from 1 to 10, r, s, and t, are numbers of from 1 to 6 and z is a number of from 4 to 50.
