ABSTRACT:
A relatively inexpensive injection molding-grade thermoplastic polyurethane is based on a modified polyether diol. This elastomer has improved toughness, abrasion resistance and good mechanical properties. Its temperature insensitivity and low temperature flexability are exceptional. It is flexible to impact at -50.degree.F and stiff enough at 250.degree.F to allow painting without distortion. Of special interest is the fact that this grafted PPG-based polymer is injection moldable and possesses properties adequate for exterior automobile trim components and the like.
The modified polyether polyol is a poly (oxypropylene) diol reacted with a 50/50 styrene/acrylonitrile monomer mixture using a free radical catalyst. While a one shot method of preparation can be used, the capped polyol is preferably reacted with an aromatic diisocyanate to form a prepolymer in a known manner. The prepolymer is thereafter reacted with a C.sub.2 to C.sub.6 alkane diol, pan cast, cured and aged, followed by grinding to give the molding composition.
