Abstract

The invention is a method for making reaction injection molded polyurethane of improved properties. The product comprises the reaction product of a high molecular weight polyhydric polyether, a low molecular weight active hydrogen containing compound of at least two functionality, a polyisocyanate and a catalyst combination comprising a weak tertiary amine, a fast gelation organo tin compound and a delayed action organo tin catalyst. This catalyst combination results in improved processing, a minimum of surface defects and excellent green strength. Reaction injection molded elastomers are useful as molded articles of commerce including, but not limited to, vehicle body parts.
