A polyisocyanate composition, suitable for use in the production of elastomers by the RIM process, said composition being the product of reacting an alcohol and/or thiol having an average hydroxyl and/or thiol functionality of from about 1.5 to about 4 and an average hydroxyl and/or thiol equivalent weight of at least 500 with at least 2 equivalents, per hydroxyl and/or thiol equivalent, of an organic polyisocyanate under such conditions that at least about 20% of the initially formed urethane and/or thiourethane groups are converted to allophanate and/or thioallophanate groups.

Polyisocyanate compositions

Polyureas are prepared from a system of (A) a polyisocyanate; and (B) a mixture of polyamines containing (i) from 60 to 25 percent by weight of the mixture of an aromatic polyamine; and (ii) from 40 to 75 percent by weight of the mixture of an aliphatic polyamine.

Polyureas prepared from a mixture of polyamines and polyisocyanate

Polymers having substituted urea groups, and molded objects therefrom, can be made by reacting, in a reaction injection molding (RIM) process, a composition comprising (A) a polyisocyanate and (B) a mixture comprising an imino functional resin and a chain extender. The chain extender may also be imino functional.
