The present invention is directed to polyurethane moldings produced via the RIM process. These polyurethane moldings have excellent reactivity, demold properties (at a 30 s demold), and good elongation and tear strength, and comprise the reaction product of an aliphatic polyisocyanate having a viscosity of less than about 20,000 mPa.multidot.s at 25.degree. C. and a NCO functionality of 2.3 to 4.0 with an isocyanatereactive component comprising b1) a relatively high molecular weight organic compound containing at least one of the groups selected from the group consisting of hydroxy groups and amine groups; and b2) a low molecular weight chain extender selected from the group consisting of diols, triols, primary amines, secondary amines, aminoalcohols, and mixtures thereof; in the presence of a catalyst. The OH:NH ratio of the chain extender is from 1:1 to 25:1.

Aliphatic rim elastomers

Sucrose-based polyether polyols which do not promote degradation of HCFC blowing agents are produced by blocking at least 10% of the polyol's hydroxyl groups with a compound represented by the formula CH.sub.3 COCH.sub.2 COOR in which R represents an alkyl group. These polyether polyols are particularly useful in the production of polyurethane foams.

Polyols for the production of foams with HCFC blowing agents

This invention relates to a process for the preparation of stable dispersions of hydroxyl-containing polyhydrazodicarbonamides in a hydroxyl-containing compound. The dispersions are prepared by the reaction of organic isocyanates, isocyanate-reactive compounds having a molecular weight in the range from 400 to 10,000, relatively low molecular weight isocyanate-reactive compounds, and hydrazines or hydrazides. This invention further relates to the dispersions prepared by said process, the use of the dispersions to prepare polyurethane foams having exceptional hardness, and the foams prepared thereby.

Stable dispersions of polyhydrazodicarbonamides useful in the

The invention relates to thermoplastic polycarbonate molding compositions which are rendered resistant to gamma-radiation by incorporating therewith about 0.1 to about 10 percent by weight of a stabilizing agent conforming to ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 denotes a hydrogen atom or a C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl, R.sub.2 denotes a hydrogen atom, a C.sub.1 -C.sub.30 alkyl or acyl radical, silyl or pyranyl where said alkyl and acyl radicals may be either branched or linear, n is an integer of from 0 to 70, p is 0 or 1 and m is 1 to 4.

Gamma radiation resistant polycarbonate compositions

Stable finely-divided dispersions of polyureas and/or polyhydrazodicarbonamides in a hydroxyl-group-containing material are made by reacting (i) an isocyanate with (ii) a compound selected from polyamines, hydrazines, hydrazides and mixtures thereof in the presence of (iii) a hydroxyl compound selected from polyethers, polyesters, polyester amides, polycarbonates and mixtures thereof and (iv) a catalyst. The catalyst is a compound which catalyzes the reaction of isocyanate groups with hydroxyl groups. The catalyst is used in a quantity of at least 50 parts per million parts of (i), (ii) and (iii). These dispersions are particularly useful in the production of polyurethanes.

Process for the production of stable dispersions, the dispersions so

The present invention relates to a process for the production of stable dispersions of polyureas and/or polyhydrazodicarbonamides in a hydroxyl-group-containing material by reacting an organic di- or polyisocyanate with a composition selected from the group consisting of polyamines containing primary and/or secondary amine groups, hydrazines, hydrazides, and mixtures thereof, in said hydroxyl-group containing material, in the presence of a dispersion stabilizing compound.
