A crosslinked polyurethane obtainable by a process is disclosed wherein polyisocyanates are mixed with polymeric compounds having at least two hydrogen atoms reactive toward isocyanate groups and comprising at least one diene block copolymer which has at least two hydrogen atoms reactive toward isocyanate and has a polydiene main chain and at least one side chain or terminal chain composed of a polyether and/or a polyester, where the proportion by weight of the polydiene main chain is, based on the total weight of the diene block copolymer, from 25 to 95% by weight, to give a reaction mixture that is cured. Composites and blends composed of crosslinked polyurethane and rubber are also disclosed, as well as the use of crosslinked polyurethane in the production of tires or parts of tires, cable sheathing, shoe sole, roller or hose.

The present invention provides a composition for a soft urethane foam to prepare a soft urethane foam, comprising a polyol, and a foamed soft urethane foam using the same, wherein the polyol is any one selected from among a hydrocarbon polyol, a vegetable oil, and a vegetable-oil-derived dimer acid, or a mixture of a hydrocarbon polyol with any one selected from among a vegetable oil and a vegetable-oil-derived dimer acid. The present invention provides an impregnation material for impregnation of a cosmetic composition, which can control the polarity of the impregnation material for impregnating a hydrophilic cosmetic composition, and an impregnation-use urethane foam composition for preparing the same.

The present invention refers to developing and obtaining new composite materials based on rubbers and/or elastomers and/or their recycled can be reused through an in situ polymerization program between the combination of different monomers and/or oligomers type diisocyanate, esters, or organic peroxides cross-linking agent, which in their combination generate a binding agent capable of modifying the intrinsic chemical, thermal, rheological, and mechanical properties in the material and the chains chemical cross-linking originated by the incorporation of organic peroxides which are able to accelerate or decrease the reaction rate.

Compositions for golf balls that include polyurethane and polyurea linkages and that are crosslinked in the soft segments of the polymer backbone. In particular, the compositions of the invention, which are based on a polyurethane and/or polyurea prepolymers, have improved crosslink density from the crosslinking between the soft, unsaturated segments of the polymer backbone. The curative blend includes at least one isocyanate-reactive component and a free radical initiator.
