International Classification:

C08K 53415

US Classification:

524104

Abstract:

A casting solution for preparing a low to medium flux membrane. The casting solution contains 19-25% by weight polysulfone, polyethersulfone, or polyarylsulfone; 14-32% by weight a hydrophilic compatible polymer; 0. 1-6% by weight an isocyanate capped polyethylene glycol urethane polymer; and 37-67% by weight an aprotic and water miscible solvent; in which the polysulfone, polyethersulfone, or polyarylsulfone has a M. W. of 10,000-100,000 daltons, the isocyanate capped polymer contains 2-5 --N. dbd. C. dbd. O groups per molecule and has a M. W. of 500-5,000 daltons, and the compatible polymer contains 2-5 --CH. sub. 2 OH groups per molecule and has a M. W. of 200-1,000 daltons. Also disclosed are a method of spinning this casting solution to form a hollow fiber and the hollow fiber thus obtained.
