Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention is to provide a bound stopper, which has high mechanical strength, is excellent in durability against fatigue breaking, settling or the like when a heavy load is repeatedly received, and is easy to be produced, in which the bound stopper comprises a polyurethane foam obtained from a polyurethane foam composition containing an isocyanate component and a blowing agent, and the isocyanate component contains a urethane prepolymer having an isocyanate group, the urethane prepolymer being obtained from a polyol component, a polyrotaxane containing a cyclic molecule having an active hydrogen group as a constituent, and an isocyanate.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A bound stopper which is made of a polyurethane foam and is to be mounted on a piston rod of a shock absorber for a vehicle, the bound stopper comprising: a polyurethane foam obtained from a polyurethane foam composition containing an isocyanate component and a blowing agent, wherein the isocyanate component contains a urethane prepolymer having an isocyanate group, the urethane prepolymer being obtained from a polyol component, a polyrotaxane containing a cyclic molecule having an active hydrogen group as a constituent, and an isocyanate, and the urethane prepolymer having an isocyanate group has an NCO % of 2.5% to 7.5%. 2. The bound stopper according to claim 1 , wherein in the urethane prepolymer having an isocyanate group, an amount of the polyrotaxane is 0.1 part by weight to 6.5 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the polyol component. 3. The bound stopper according to claim 1 , wherein the polyurethane foam has a density of 0.3 g/cm 3 to 0.6 g/cm 3 . 4. A method for procuring a bound stopper which is made of a polyurethane foam and is to be mounted onto a piston rod of a shock absorber for a vehicle, the method comprising: preparing a urethane prepolymer having an isocyanate group by heating and mixing a polyol component and a polyrotaxane containing a cyclic molecule having an active hydrogen group as a constituent in a molten state, and thereafter blending the mixture with an isocyanate; and injecting a polyurethane foam composition containing the urethane prepolymer having an isocyanate group and a blowing agent into a mold and foaming the same, so as to form the bound stopper made of a polyurethane foam. 5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the urethane prepolymer having an isocyanate group has an NCO % of 2.5% to 7.5%.
