The present invention is directed to a process for the preparation of an isocyanate-terminated prepolymer having a content of unreacted diisocyanate of less than about 2% by weight, preferably less than about 1% by weight, based on the weight of the isocyanate-terminated prepolymer, and containing internal urethane groups based on 4,4'-diisocyanato-dicyclohexyl-methane by
a) preparing an OH-terminated prepolymer from
i) a high molecular weight polyol component, and/or
ii) a low molecular weight isocyanate-reactive component, and
iii) a polyisocyanate component comprising 4,4'-diisocyanato-dicyclohexyl methane
at an NCO/OH equivalent ratio of about 0.5:1 to 0.9:1;
b) forming the isocyanate-terminated prepolymer by reacting the OH-terminated prepolymer with a polyisocyanate other than 4,4'-diisocyanato-dicyclohexyl-methane containing aromatically-, aliphatically- and/or cycloaliphatically-bound isocyanate groups at an NCO:OH equivalent ratio, based on the free -OH groups of component (a), of about 1.6:1 to 15:1, and
c) reducing the amount of unreacted diisocyanate to less than about 2% by weight, based on the weight of the isocyanate-terminated prepolymer.
The present invention is also directed to the products prepared by this process and their use in one-component, moisture-cure systems or as the isocyanate component in two-component polyurethanes.
