Abstract:
A method of filling a seam of a structural panel assembly utilizes a non-foaming, thixotropic, two-component polyurethane elastomeric material. The thixotropic, elastomeric material is prepared by rapidly mixing and initiating the reaction of a first thixotropic component comprising an isocyanate-terminated compound having at least two reactive isocyanate groups and a second thixotropic component comprising a hydroxyl-terminated compound having at least two reactive hydroxyl groups. Each of the first and second thixotropic components include from about 3% to 8% by weight fumed silica. The second thixotropic component also includes from about 10% to about 50% filler. The thixotropic elastomeric material is applied over the seam of a panel assembly. The method then includes fluidizing the thixotropic elastomeric material and driving the thixotropic elastomeric material into the seam of the panel assembly. The thixotropic elastomeric material is then allowed to cure in the seam, thereby sealing and reinforcing the seam of the panel assembly.
Polyurethane Water-Blown Integral Skin System Produced With A Polyterahydrofuran Prepolymer
The present invention relates to water blown integral skin polyurethane foams. These foams are prepared using a diphenylmethane diisocyanate:polytetrahydrofuran prepolymer. The polyurethane foams prepared with this prepolymer exhibit improved abrasion resistance and cold flex characteristics when compared to water blown integral skin foams prepared without the prepolymer. These foams are suitable for use in shoe sole applications.
