The present invention relates to a process for producing a polyurethane elastomer, a polyurethane elastomer produced by the process, and the use of the polyurethane elastomer in a glass encapsulation/elastic gasket or the like. The process mainly includes adding a hindered amine light stabilizer to the isocyanate-containing component A. Its reaction with the organotin catalyst in the isocyanate reactive component (i.e. component B), which may cause a loss of the catalytic performance of the catalyst, is avoided. The curing speed of the polyurethane elastomer is increased, thereby the production efficiency is improved and costs are reduced.

A multi-layer coating includes: a first basecoat layer applied over at least a portion of a substrate; and a second basecoat layer applied over the first basecoat layer. The first basecoat layer and second basecoat layer are formed from compositions having a polyhydrazide and core-shell particles dispersed in aqueous mediums. The core-shell particles of the first basecoat composition includes (1) a polymeric core at least partially encapsulated by (2) a polymeric shell comprising urea linkages, and keto and/or aldo functional groups. The polymeric core of the core-shell particles of the first basecoat composition and the second basecoat composition are each independently covalently bonded to at least a portion of the polymeric shell of the core-shell particles.

Disclosed is a coating composition comprising a first component and a second component. The first component comprises a diluent and a carbodiimide present in an amount of no more than 50 percent by weight based on total weight of the coating composition. The second component comprises a curing agent that chemically reacts with the carbodiimide, the curing agent comprising an active hydrogen-containing compound. The coating composition may be an adhesive composition or a sealant composition. Also disclosed is a method for treating a substrate comprising contacting at least a portion of a surface of the substrate with a composition of the present invention. Also disclosed is a substrate comprising a surface at least partially coated with a layer formed from a composition of the present invention. Also disclosed is an article comprising a first substrate and a second substrate and a composition of the present invention positioned between the first and second substrates.

Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards formulated polyol compositions that include a sucrose propoxylated polyol, a polyether triol, and a propoxylated homopolymer triol.

Storage-stable two-component polyurethane or polyisocyanurate spray foam compositions are disclosed, said compositions comprising: (a) an A-side component comprising one or more polyisocyanate and one or more blowing agent; and (b) a B-side component comprising one or more polyol and one or more blowing agent comprising pressurized gaseous carbon dioxide and one or more liquid blowing agent; wherein both the A-side component and the B-side component, separately, generate less than 300 ppm of fluoride ion after one week of aging at 50° C.

A composition contains a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU-1), obtained or obtainable by reaction of an isocyanate composition (IZ) containing MDI with a polyol composition (PZ), and hollow glass microspheres. The polyol composition (PZ) contains at least one polyol (P1) selected from polytetrahydrofurans having an average molecular weight Mn in the range from 900 to 2,000 g/mol. The polyol composition (PZ) also contains a chain extender (KV1), selected from 1,2-ethandiol, 1,3-propanediol, 1,4-butanediol and 1,6-hexanediol. Ski shoes, preferably ski boots, particularly preferably the outer shell of a ski boot, can be based on such a thermoplastic polyurethane. Corresponding processes can be used for producing ski shoes.

The present disclosure provides a process for forming a laminate. The process includes (A) uniformly applying an isocyanate component to a first substrate, the isocyanate component containing an isocyanate compound; (B) uniformly applying an isocyanate-reactive component to a second substrate, the isocyanate-reactive component containing an amine-terminated compound; (C) bringing the first substrate and the second substrate together, thereby mixing and reacting the isocyanate component and the isocyanate-reactive component to form an adhesive composition between the first substrate and the second substrate; (D) curing the adhesive composition to bond the first substrate and the second substrate; and (E) forming the laminate.
