Thermoplastic polyurethanes with high glass transition temperatures.

摘要

Disclosed are novel high flexural modulus polyurethane plastics wherein a polyisocyanate and a particular combination of extenders including cycloalkane diol are reacted optionally in the presence of a minor proportion of high molecular weight polyol. The polymers have outstanding resistance to high temperatures thereby expanding their utilities into higher temperature end-use environments than related prior art materials. Certain members of these new polymers are also possessed of outstanding optical clarity which thereby provides a combination of properties heretofore not available in a polyurethane. These polymers are easily melt-fabricated notwithstanding their inherent high temperature properties.
