The curable composition of the present invention contains (A1) a silyl-containing ethylene/&#x3b1;-olefin/non-conjugated polyene random copolymer rubber which has a structural unit derived from a norbornene compound as the non-conjugated polyene with at least one specific vinyl group at the terminal and contains a specific hydrolyzable silyl group, and (B) a compound, other than the rubber (A1), having a hydroxyl group and/or a hydrolyzable group, e.g., (B1) a compound having a silanol group and/or a compound which can react with moisture to form a compound having a silanol group in the molecule. This compound improves elongation of the cured product and residual surface tackiness, and, at the same time, is high in curing speed and capable of giving the cured product of high resistance to weather. It is suitable for, e.g., adhesives, tackifiers, paints, sealants, waterproof materials, spray materials, shaping materials and casting rubber materials.

Curable composition and its use

Microcellular polyurethane elastomer, and method of producing the same

The object is to provide a method for producing a polyoxyalkylene polyol and a method for producing a derivative thereof wherein the remaining catalyst compound is efficiently removed from a crude polyoxyalkylene polyol by a simple manner, and a method for producing a polyoxyalkylene polyol wherein a crude polyoxyalkylene polyol is produced by addition polymerization of an epoxide compound to an active hydrogen compound using as a catalyst a compound having a P&boxH;N bond, then, the crude polyoxyalkylene polyol is allowed to contact with a solid acid having a specific surface area of 450 to 1200 m /g and an average pore diameter of 40 to 100 &angst; to control the catalyst-remaining amount in the polyoxyalkylene polyol to 150 ppm or less, and a method for producing a derivative of the-above-described polyol are provided.

Method for producing polyoxyalkylene polyol and derivatives thereof

Propylene oxide is added to an active hydrogen compound in the presence of an alkali metal hydroxide catalyst in an amount of from 0.05 to 0.5 mole per mole of the active hydrogen compound at a reaction temperature of from 60.degree. to 98.degree. C. at a reaction pressure less than or equal to 4 kg/cm.sup.2 to prepare a polyoxyalkylene polyol which has a hydroxyl value of from 10 to 35 mg KOH/g, a monool content less than or equal to 15 mol %, a Head-to-Tail bond selectivity greater than or equal to 96 percent, and low viscosity. A polymer polyol is prepared by polymerizing an ethylenically unsaturated monomer in the polyoxyalkylene polyol. A flexible polyurethane foam is prepared by reacting the polyoxyalkylene polyol or the polymer polyol with an organic polyisocyanate compound in the presence of a foaming agent, a catalyst, a surfactant, a crosslinking agent and other additives. The thus-obtained polyurethane foams have less closed cells and are more excellent in properties such as hardness, humid aged compression set and impact resiliency.

Preparation of polyoxyalkylene polyols, polymer polyols and flexible

A flexible high-resilience polyurethane foam which has improved impact resilience and compression set, excellent effect on the reduction of transmissibility at 6 Hz and also improved mechanical strengths even under a reduced amount of a catalyst and is prepared by using, as an organic polyisocyanate composition, a mixture having a specified ratio of tolylene diisocyanate to polymethylenepolyphenyl isocyanate having a specific benzenoid composition or by using an isocyanate terminated prepolymer obtained by reacting the mixture with polyoxyalkylene polyol which has specific structure and is used for modification, and by using polyalkylene polyol which satisfies specific conditions in a hydroxyl value, monool content, and head-to-tail coupling selectivity; and a preparation process of the flexible high resilience polyurethane foam.

Flexible high resilience polyurethane foam

A flexible polyurethane foam which has a low density, enhanced impact resilience, improved compression set and excellent effect on the reduction of 6 Hz vibration transmissibility and is obtained by a reaction of an organic polyisocyanate composition, that is, a mixture of (a) polymethylenepolyphenyl isocyanate containing from more than 60 to 90% by weight of a two benzene ring compound and having a weight ratio [three benzene ring compound]/[four or more benzene ring compounds + less active ingredient] of 1.1-20.0, and (b) tolylene diisocyanate in a ratio (a)/(b) of 97.apprxeq.80/3.apprxeq.20 by weight, or by reaction of a prepolymer derived from said organic polyisocyanate composition and a specific polyol, with a resin premix comprising a water blowing agent and an active hydrogen containing compound; and a process for preparing the flexible polyurethane foam.
