Methods for making compositions for making thermoplastic aliphatic urethane/urea elastomers, which are in turn used to make molding compositions used in forming molded articles, particularly, shells for automotive applications. The molding compositions comprise an aliphatic thermoplastic urethane/urea elastomer and a polyolefin-based modifier. These compositions may be used to form a powder, pellets, microspheres or minibeads which may then be cast to form air bag door and instrument panel cover skins which may meet automotive deployment and weathering requirements.

Method for making thermoplastic aliphatic urethane/urea elastomers and molding compositions

Compositions for forming molded articles, particularly, shells for automotive applications are made up of melt blends of an aliphatic thermoplastic urethane elastomer and one or more polyolefin-based modifiers. These compositions may be blended to form a powder, pellets, microspheres or minibeads which may then be cast to form air bag door and instrument panel cover skins which may meet automotive deployment and weathering requirements.

Thermoplastic polyurethane copolymer molding compositions

A process for formation of a plastic composite includes providing a two part mold system wherein one of the parts is moveable and includes cavities and the other of the parts is stationary and includes cores each having less mass and sequentially moving the moveable mold part with respect to the stationary mold part to form an injection volume between each of said mold cavities of variable capacity.
