Described herein are a polyurethane gel, a process for preparing the same, and applications for the use thereof in medical padding.

Hygienic trays adapted to effectively restrain items under hygienic conditions are provided by equipping hygienic trays with an antipathogenic, cohesive and adhesive thermoset overlay provided in the form of an adhesive insert or tray coating. The overlay adhesively restrains emplaced items until manually removed from the overlay by the hygienic user while also providing an unexpected superior antipathogenic environment. The hygienic trays are particularly useful from hygienic applications wherein hygienic conditions and a need to stabilize trayed items against displacement are of a dominant concern. The tray may be of a simple platform design with or without a typical bordering rim which may be adapted for hand carriage or mounted onto another supportive structure.

Polyurethane foams that are hydrophilic but nonetheless have low compression sets are made from a combination of MDI and TDI prepolymers, water, and a polymer polyol. The foams optionally are made incorporating a phase change material in the foam formulation. The phase change material does not require encapsulation.

A two-component polyurethane compositions including (i) a polyol component A comprising a tri- or higher functional polyol P1 having an OH equivalent weight of from 60 g/mol to 250 g/mol and a di- or tri-functional polyether or polyester polyol P2 which is different from the polyol P1; and (ii) an isocyanate component B comprising at least one polyisocyanate I. Polyurethane compositions have surprisingly been found to be suitable for 3D printing processing, where they provide printed 3D objects with reduced tackiness even shortly after the printing. In addition, the invention provides processes for the production of three dimension objects form such compositions as well as three dimensional objects prepared accordingly and the use of corresponding compositions in 3D printing processes.

Polyurethane-polyisocyanurate foams are prepared using a polyether polyol made from an alkylene oxide mixture that contains a specified proportion of ethylene oxide. The selection of proper polyol equivalent weight and ethylene oxide content leads to the production of foams having a useful combination of properties.

Disclosed is a composition including one or more isocyanate functional prepolymers; one or more catalysts for the reaction of isocyanate moieties and active hydrogen containing moieties; one or more mercapto silanes; one or more amino silanes, isocyanato silanes or a mixture thereof; one or more reinforcing fillers comprising one or more high surface area carbon blacks; one or more untreated calcium carbonates; one or more polyisocyanates having an isocyanate functionality of about 2 or greater; and one or more linear plasticizers.
