Abstract

Abstract Polyurethane elastomers having excellent resistance to hydrolysis and which are readily wet coagulated are prepared via the reaction of polymeric diols having molecular weights of about 800 to about 5,000, organic diisocyanates and chain extenders selected from the group consisting of aliphatic diols having two to four carbon atoms. Said polymeric diols are polyester diols which are the reaction products of aliphatic dicarboxylic acids and mixed diols consisting of from 20 to 80 mol per cent of 2-ethyl hexane-1,3diol and from 80 to 20 mol per cent of a diol selected from the group consisting of diethylene glycol, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol and butylene glycol; or a mixture of said polyester diol and at most 50 weight per cent based on the mixture of polyalkylene ether glycols, such as polypropylene glycol or polytetramethylene glycol.
