Abstract
The present invention relates to a process for the production of one-shot polyurethane elastomers having low compression sets. This process comprises reacting a polymethylene poly(phenylisocyanate) having an average functionality of 2.2 to 2.8, and a polyol component that has an average functionality of 2.0 or less. The polyol component comprises at least one relatively high molecular weight isocyanate-reactive component, and at least one relatively low molecular weight isocyanate-reactive component, with the functionalities and quantities of each component being such that the above average functionality of 2.0 or less for the polyol component is satisfied. Polyurethane elastomers produced by the process of this invention are characterized by compression sets of less than 10%.
