International Classification:

C08G 18/10
B32B 27/40
US Classification:

428220, 528 59, 528 65, 528 64
Abstract:

Polyurethane elastomer articles formed from prepolymer mixtures having free diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI) content from 2.0 to 5.0 wt %, based on the weight of the prepolymer mixture. The prepolymer mixtures comprise a polyester, polyether, or polycaprolactone (PCL) prepolymer and MDI. The polyurethane elastomer articles are formed by curing the prepolymer mixture with a chain extender, such as a curative comprising a methylenedianiline-sodium chloride complex. The articles have good physical properties that may weigh over 225 kg, and have a three-axis thickness greater than 10.2 cm.

US Patent:

51079135, Apr 28, 1992
Filed:

Mar 28, 1991
Appl. No.:

7/676743
Inventors:

David M. Clonch - Bristol VA
George H. Nybakken - Middlebury CT
Richard L. Palinkas - Northfield CT
Assignee:

Simmons-Rand Company - Bristol VA
International Classification:

B60C 700
US Classification:

152323
Abstract:

A wheel for a relatively slow vehicle used in industrial applications and incorporating a solid tire formed of dense elastomer material such as cast polyurethane, having a relatively large radial depth, for example six inches, a relatively large width, for example twelve inches, and a deep slot extending circumferentially around the tire and dividing the tire into sections separated by the slot with the ratio of the depth of the slot to the lateral width of each section being in the range of 0. 65 to 1. 75. The tire is bonded to the wheel rim and includes sidewalls containing concave surfaces terminating in relatively thin lips bonded to the outer edges of the rim, keeping stress in the edge of the tire relatively low which helps reduce tire failures from beginning in the edges of the tire along the rim edges.
