A prepolymer of elastomer material for screw drilling tools and a preparation method thereof are provided. The prepolymer includes component A and component B, wherein the component A includes hydroxyl-terminated liquid rubber, polytetrahydrofuran diol, and polyether polyol; the component B includes at least one of an isocyanate, a cyanate, and a cyano compound; the mass ratio of the hydroxyl-terminated liquid rubber, polytetrahydrofuran diol, and polyether polyol is (0.2-1.0): (0.2-1.0): (0.2-1.0). Different molecular segments of different proportions are introduced through structural design, such that the molecular structure of the prepolymer has both rigid and flexible segments, thus to achieve an adjustable and controllable structure of the prepolymer; and the introduction of active groups makes the prepolymer to show good reactivity and processability. Therefore, a reactive elastomer material having excellent properties such as hardness, tear strength, and tensile strength can be obtained used as an elastomer material for screw drilling tools.

A method of producing a polyurethane or polyisocyanurate foam is provided which involves the use of a specific combination of hydrofluoroolefin blowing agents and cell nucleators. The resulting foams have excellent long term thermal insulating performance and have reduced thickness in comparison to conventional thermal insulating boards. The rigid polyurethane and polyisocyanurate boards may be used to insulate refrigeration bodies, such as those employed in vehicles comprising refrigeration units, and cold storage containers.
