The subject disclosure presents systems and methods for manufacturing a non-porous thermoformable polyurethane solid by combining an uncured polyurethane resin with Aluminum Trihydrate (ATH), a plurality of particulates, molecular sieves, and color particulates. This combination is mixed in a vacuum for a time period sufficient to initiate an exothermic reaction within the mixture. After the time period, the exothermically reacting mixture is allowed to cure to form the polyurethane solid. The curing may occur in a mold, i.e. by pouring or injecting the mixture into the mold. Alternatively, the mixture may be sprayed on to a surface and allowed to cure.

A method for preparing a heat-moisture-resistant polyurethane elastomer includes (A) providing a polyol and an aliphatic diisocyanate to react in the presence of a suitable catalyst under a heating environment, thereby forming a urethane prepolymer with an reactive isocyanate terminal group; (B) providing a hydrophobic diol with a hydroxyl group and/or a castor oil-based triol as a chain extender; and (C) performing an addition reaction of the urethane prepolymer and the chain extender under an appropriate heating environment to generate the heat-moisture-resistant polyurethane elastomer that can be used for a long time in a warm and humid environment.

Soy-based high temperature products, or thermoset resins, are produced by solvent free polymerization of soy polyols and polyisocyanates at room temperature. The ratio of isocyanate equivalents to polyol equivalent used in the synthesis is greater than or equal to 3. The invented soy-based products are polyisocyanurate solid materials with excellent stability at high temperature. Heat resistance of the material is influenced by ratio of soy polyol and polyisocyanate.
