Abstract
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.
Claims1
A process which comprises (a) casting into a mold a reaction mixture at ambient temperature of an admixture of an alkylthio substituted aromatic diamine selected from the class consisting of 3,5-di(methylthio)-2,4-diaminotoluene, 3,5-di(methylthio)-2,6-diaminotoluene, 3 methylthio-2,6-diaminotoluene and 1,3,5-triethylthio-2,6 diaminotoluene and admixtures as the sole diamines used in the process, at least one polyol selected from the group consisting of polyalkylene ether polyol, polymer polyol or mixtures thereof, water, a cell stabilizer consisting of one glycol amine selected from the group consisting of monoethanol amine and diethanol amine, an organosilicone stabilizer and reaction promotors with an isocyanate terminated component having a free isocyanate content by weight of from about 0.1 to about 50%;
- and (b) curing the reaction mixture in the mold at temperatures of about 77-302.degree. F. (25-150.degree. C.) to form a polyurethane-urea foam and removing the polyurethane-urea foam from the mold.
