Abstract
Abstract The instant invention relates to an improved process for the production of cellular or non-cellular polyurethane urea elastomers, in which diamines which contain ester groups are used as chain lengthening agents. A characteristic feature of the process according to the invention is the use of salts of aromatic diaminocarboxylic or sulphonic acids as a portion of the chain lengthening component. Elastomers produced by this process are distinguished by their improved mechanical properties, in particular their increased tensile strength and tear propagation resistance as well as their reduced permanent elongation.
