Abstract

Embedding mass of polyurethane produced on the basis of castor oil, and a method for its production, wherein an aromatic diisocyanate is reacted with a mixture of castor oil and trimethylolpropane into an NCO-group displaying pre-adduct, the pre-adduct being mixed for network polymerization with castor oil or a mixture of castor oil and trimethylolpropane, and after embedding the mixture is hardened in the presence of catalyst, thereby characterized in that a titanium alkylate compound is used as catalyst in amounts from 7 to 700 ppm, calculated as elemental titanium. Preferably, the catalyst is a titanium tetraalkylate; in particular titanium tetrabutylate. Also, a titanium magnesium hexaalkylate may be used as titanium alkylate compound; preferably, titanium magnesium hexabutylate. Preferably the catalyst is present in amounts from 40 to 140 ppm, calculated as elemental titanium. The embedding mass may be used for the embedding of membranes, particularly in artificial organs, especially in the form of hollow filaments, tube foils or flat foils. They may be used for selectively working dialysators, including selectively working hemodialysators, and other arrangements for the detox…
