Elastomeric Polyurethane-Polyurea Comprising Water Blown Foam Having Improved Mechanical Properties
Patent No. EP4240783 (titled "Elastomeric Polyurethane-Polyurea Comprising Water Blown Foam Having Improved Mechanical Properties") was filed by Huntsman on Nov 4, 2021. The application was issued on Jun 11, 2025.
Patent Summary
A thermoplastic polyurethane-polyurea foam with improved mechanical properties and recyclability. The foam has a tensile strength to density ratio of at least 10 kPa.m3/kg and an apparent density of 150-700 kg/m3. It is produced using a reactive mixture with an isocyanate index of 75-125, comprising difunctional isocyanates and difunctional polyols, and exhibits thermoplastic behavior. The foam can be recycled and remelted into non-foamed thermoplastic materials without significant degradation.
