Allophanate-modified MDI which is a storage stable liquid at 25 DEG C. is produced in two steps. First, a monoisocyanate is reacted with an organic material having about 1.8 or more hydroxyl groups and a molecular weight of from about 60 to about 6,000 to form the urethane. The urethane is then reacted with an isomeric mixture of MDI in an amount such that the resultant isocyanate will have an NCO content of from about 3 to about 28%. The isomeric mixture of diphenylmethane diisocyanate contains from about 0 to about 60% by weight 2,4'-diphenylmethane diisocyanate, less than 6% by weight 2,2'-MDI and the remainder 4,4'-MDI. The prepolymers of this invention are particularly useful in reaction injection molding processes because molded articles having improved flex modulus are obtained.
