The reaction between an isocyanate-terminated prepolymer and an aromatic diamine to form an elastomeric urethane-urea copolymer is accelerated using a quaternary ammonium compound as the catalyst. The quaternary ammonium compound is optionally employed in combination with a mono- or polyfunctional carboxylic acid containing from 4 to 20 carbon atoms.

Novel composition for preparing urethane/urea block copolymers

The curing time for articles prepared by reacting an isocyanate-terminated prepolymer with an aromatic diamine to form an elastomeric urethane/urea copolymer is significantly decreased using a tris(2,4,6-aminophenylthiomethyl)1,3,5-trihydrocarbyl substituted benzene as the crosslinking agent.

Compositions for preparing elastomeric urethane/urea block copolymers

The maximum concentration of specified sulfur-containing diamines that can be dissolved in polyols employed to prepare elastomeric urethane/urea block copolymers is significantly increased by the addition to said polyols of from 1 to 10% by weight of specified aprotic organic solvents containing oxygen, sulfur or both of these elements.
