Preparation and Properties of Frost-Resistant Room-Temperature-Curable Compounds Based on Oligoethertetraurethane Diepoxides of Various Chemical Structures

Abstract

New polytetraurethane diepoxides were prepared from oligo(tetramethylene oxide)diols of various molecular masses, various diisocyanates, and glycidol. High-strength frost-resistant cold-curable elastic compounds were prepared on their basis. The use of aminoethylpiperazine as a curing agent allows the cured materials to be prepared in 24 h at room temperature. The elastomers based on isophorone diisocyanate exhibit higher mechanical and thermal characteristics than those based on 2,4-toluene diisocyanate, which is due to higher degree of microphase segregation of soft and hard blocks of elastomers based in isophorone diisocyanate.
