Abstract
Mixtures of aromatic diamines, polyurethanes made therefrom, and processes for the preparation of the polyurethanes. The mixtures of aromatic diamines of the invention comprise a first aromatic diamine having a machine gel time of about 1 to 4 seconds in a 50,000 psi modulus RIM formulation reaction and the second aromatic diamine having a slower machine gel time of about 1.5 to 15 times that of the first aromatic diamine. The mixtures provide gel times of about 2.5 to 10 seconds, suitable for filling large molds such as automotive body panels. The novel aromatic diamine mixtures allow use of larger proportions of diamine to provide polyurethanes which are rigid but not brittle at demold and have unexpectedly superior flexural modulus properties. The polyurethanes formed with the chain extender mixtures of the invention have flexural modulus superior to polyurethanes formed from either of the diamines individually.
