The present invention provides a stretchable film that is excellent in stretch and strength and water repellency on the film surface, and a method for forming the stretchable film.

The present invention was accomplished by a stretchable film including a resin having a branched siloxane bond having 3 to 11 silicon atoms on a side chain and having a urethane bond on a main chain.

The present disclosure provides an extrudable article and a composition, each including at least one polyurethane including hydroxyl groups and latent isocyanate groups in the form of uretdione groups. The hydroxyl groups are present on a first polyurethane and the latent isocyanate groups are present on either the first polyurethane or a second polyurethane and a ratio of the latent isocyanate groups to the hydroxyl groups is greater than 1.2:1. A method of making the extrudable article is provided including reacting in an extruder a polymerizable composition including a uretdione-containing material including a reaction product of a diisocyanate reacted with itself, a hydroxyl-containing compound, and an isocyanate-containing compound. A method of making a core-sheath filament is provided including forming a core composition of the at least one polyurethane and wrapping a sheath composition including an ethylene copolymer or a polyolefin around the core composition. Further, methods of printing a composition are provided including heating and mixing the extrudable article, such as in an extruder, to form a molten composition, then dispensing the molten composition through a nozzle onto a substrate.

The present invention relates to a process for the production of polyurethanes where (a) polyisocyanate, (b) polymeric compounds having groups reactive toward isocyanates, (c) catalysts, (d) polymer P formed from ethylenically unsaturated monomers and having an average of more than 2 functional groups of the formula ONH.sub.2 and optionally (e) blowing agent, (f) chain extender and/or crosslinking agent, and (g) auxiliaries and/or additives are mixed to give a reaction mixture, and the reaction mixture is allowed to complete a reaction to give the polyurethane. The present invention further relates to polyurethanes produced by this process and to the use of these polyurethanes in the interior of means of transport.

A polyether having a functional group that is reactive to isocyanate with at least one polyisocyanate, which has an average isocyanate functionality in the range of 2.4 to 3.5, and at least one vinyl compound, which has a functional group that is reactive to isocyanate, wherein the molar ratio of polyether to vinyl compound lies in the range of 3:1 to 1:3 and the ratio of the sum of the molar quantities of polyether and vinyl compounds to isocyanate groups lies in the range of 1.5:1 to U.5. Corresponding vinylterminated prepolymers have the advantage of low visocity together with good water solubility and therefore can be used advantageously for applications as injection agents.
