Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention refers to a thermoplastic polyurethane produced from at least an organic diisocyanate and a compound which is reactive toward isocyanates, wherein the polyurethane comprises the ester of a tricarboxylic acid with at least one alcohol and wherein all acid groups of the tricarboxylic acid are esterified with an alcohol. The invention further refers to a process for producing the respective polyurethane, products comprising this thermoplastic polyurethane and the use of the ester of a tricarboxylic acid as plasticizer in thermoplastic polyurethanes.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A thermoplastic polyurethane composition, comprising: A) 50-99% by weight of a thermoplastic polyurethane comprising, in reacted form, 1) at least one organic diisocyanate (a), 2) at least one compound (b) which is reactive toward an isocyanate and has a molecular weight of from 0.5 kg/mol to 8 kg/mol, 3) a chain extender (c) comprising 1,2-ethylenediol, wherein the 1,2-ethylene diol is employed in an amount of from 2.5% to 3.5% by weight based on…
