Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to a melt processable thermoplastic polyurethane-urea composition formed by a continuous bulk process without the presence of solvent using a polyol component, an isocyanate component, and chain extender component comprising a hindered aromatic diamine.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 - 8 . (canceled) 9 . A process for making a melt-processable thermoplastic polyurethane-urea elastomer composition comprising: (1) adding a reaction mixture to a heated extruder, said reaction mixture comprising (a) a polyol component, (b) an isocyanate component; and (c) a chain extender component, said chain extender component comprising a hindered aromatic diamine; (2) reacting said polyol component, said isocyanate component, and said chain extender component in a one-shot polymerization process in said heated extruder to form a thermoplastic polyurethane-urea elastomer composition, wherein the composition comprises less than 20 mol % urea; (3) cooling said polyurethane-urea elastomer composition; and (4) processing said polyurethane-urea elastomer composition. 10 . The process of claim 9 , wherein said processing step includes forming pellets of polyurethane-urea elastomer composition. 11 . (canceled) 12 . The process of claim 9 wherein the reaction mixture is substantially free of solvent. 13 . The process of claim 9 wherein the chain extender component comprise diethyltoluenediamine. 14 . The process of claim 9 wherein the polyol component comprises a polycarbonate polyol. 15 . A process for making a molded article from a thermoplastic polyurethane-urea composition comprising: (1) adding a reaction mixture to a heated extruder, said reaction mixture comprising (a) a polyol component, (b) an isocyanate component; and (c) a chain extender component, said chain extender component comprising diethyltoluenediamine; (2) reacting said polyol component, said isocyanate component, and said chain extender component in a one-shot polymerization process in said heated extruder to form a thermoplastic polyurethane-urea elastomer composition, wherein the composition comprises less than 20 mol % urea; (3) cooling said polyurethane-urea elastomer composition; (4) processing said polyurethane-urea elastomer composition; (5) melting said polyurethane-urea elastomer composition; (6) molding the melted polyurethane-urea elastomer composition into an article. 16 . The process of claim 15 , wherein said processing step includes forming pellets of polyurethane-urea elastomer composition. 17 . (canceled) 18 . The process of claim 15 wherein the reaction mixture is substantially free of solvent. 19 . (canceled) 20 . The process of claim 15 wherein the polyol component comprises a polycarbonate polyol. 21 . The process of claim 9 , wherein the isocyanate component comprises an aromatic isocyanate. 22 . The process of claim 15 , wherein the isocyanate component comprises an aromatic isocyanate.
