Abstract
Method and composition are provided for repair of bumpers and like auto body components formed of synthetic organic polymers, by the use of a urethane polymer having a crystalline polymer phase distributed in a noncrystalline polymer phase by virtue of differential reactivity of the urethane forming reagents.
Claims54
Method of preparing a composition useful for bumper repair and the like, including mixing a first side comprising an aromatic isocyanato reagent under urethane polymer forming conditions with a second side comprising premix of an hydroxylated tertiary amine reagent having a given rate of reaction with said isocyanato reagent, and a polyol reagent selected to have a slower rate of reaction with said isocyanato reagent, simultaneously reacting said isocyanato reagent with said hydroxylated tertiary amine to a crystalline urethane polymer phase, and with said polyol reagent to an amorphous polymer phase interdispersed with said crystalline polymer phase.
The method according to claim 6 or 10, including also selecting polytetramethyleneoxide ether polyol, D.B. castor oil, or hydroxylated glyceryltriricinoleate triester reagent reactive with isocyanate as said hydrophobic organic polyfunctional active hydrogen moiety.
Composition comprising a urethane polymer reaction product of a first side comprising an isocyanato reagent simultaneously with a second side comprising a premix of an hydroxylated tertiary amine reagent and a polyol reagent selected to be slower reacting with said isocyanato reagent than said amine reagent in noncrystalline polymer forming relation, said polymer reaction product comprising a crystalline phase produced by the reaction of said amine and said isocyanato reagent, and a noncrystalline amorphous phase produced by reaction of said slower reacting polyol and said isocyanato reagent, said crystalline phase being interdispersed with said noncrystalline amorphous phase.
