the manure is collected in a lake underneath the pig pens and then washed into giant pools or lagoons . it is eventually sprayed on nearby fields , but the lagoons have a habit of leaking or flooding .

such fights make for tricky business . reintroductions must occur before the embryo implants into the uterine wall – about two weeks after insemination – otherwise the sows can miscarry . with large systems like that at the pig adventure , it can be challenging to prevent the pigs , who are constantly moving throughout the system ( parsons calls it a “big chess game” ) , from fighting when their embryos are particularly vulnerable . parsons says some farmers who have switched over to these pens keep sows in gestation crates for five or six weeks after insemination , instead of one , to thwart the problem altogether , but that comes with a potential welfare trade - off .

very young children really shouldn ' t be watching tv for more than 30 minutes in a day , and ideally not all in one session ,
she says .
pig farming in a barn is generally easy . farmers should use concrete to make a barn for pig farming . it is very necessary to keep the pigs inside the farm . farmers should make the floor slope so that the water can be used to clean the barn easily . farmers should separate the feeding area to the rest area for cleaning it easily . at least 10 feet deep and 10 feet wide area is perfect for every two pigs . the rest area should be half the size of the feeding area with a pool where they can bath and the pool should be at least 5 feet .

the idea for peppa pig was first sewn in a london pub in 1999 . they chose an animal as it gets around issues of race , class and background and they made the protagonist female because there were very few central female characters at a time when postman pat , fireman sam and bob the builder ruled the roost .
hello margaret , am so impressed to hear from you about pig farming . i am an agricultural scientist and entrepreneur in uganda . i have helped many farmers in uganda to establish farms of piggery , poultry and dairy which are performing . i offer consultancy in agriculture . i willing to train you in that area . thank u .
it is also the duty of a prospective pig farmer to provide an approved emp for the identified land as required by the environmental laws . an emp is a component of an environmental impact assessment ( eia ) , which must be provided in any commercial piggery . sappo can assist with contact details of consultants who can perform this .

it is very disconcerting that retailers , in making decisions about sourcing pork products , continue to succumb to the pressure of activist groups such as the humane society of the united states ( hsus ) without any consideration of the impact on american farm families ,
warner said . he told me :
farmers should have a choice about how they raise their animals . they do this work because they love working with the animals . we don ' t go telling other people how to run their business .
eliminating gestation crates , he warns , will mean consumers will pay more for bacon , sausage and hot dogs .
when the ten year mark arrives , mija ' s grandfather tells her that he had to turn okja over to the company , but that she can take solace in his compensatory gift to her , a tiny gold pig . mija and okja ' s separation kicks off a story that follows the pig from south korea to new york city and ( parenthetically ) to a plant near paramus , new jersey , where hundreds of other prototype pigs are kept for experimentation and eventual slaughter . members of the animal liberation federation ( alf , just like the sitcom alien ) briefly kidnap okja and fit her with a camera that they hope will expose the company ' s animal rights abuses .
in her lenny letter essay , kesha also praises jonas åkerlund for helping her create the music video for
praying ,
which juxtaposes vivid , dark imagery ( men wearing creepily realistic pig masks taunting kesha ) , with brilliant , bright hues , and compelling visual effects — presumably a nod to kesha overcoming her legal battles and eating disorder .
now , five years after the first clinical human trials were first predicted to have begun , the most hopeful members of the xeno community still see trials several years away , and a number of scientists and scientific organizations are expressing new cautions . at the same time , a new possible solution to the organ shortage - - creating organs from human stem cells , then cloning them - - has emerged as a potentially more promising long - term solution . all of this is effecting the business of xeno : the science ultimately might prove workable , but will the money for the research hold out through more years of unprofitability and potential controversy ?
unlike the big knights – now something of a cult hit – peppa pig was a success from the off and is now shown in 180 countries . it had attracted such a level of fame within six years that the uk labour party wanted to use peppa ' s image as part of their election campaign in 2010 . her creators politely declined .
10 years later in south korea , a young girl named mija ( ahn seo - hyun ) lives in the countryside with her grandfather ( byun hee - bong ) who is a local farmer and the super pig , okja . mija has asked her grandfather to buy okja from mirando corporation so that okja doesn’t have to go back to new york .
mija runs up to the slaughter - man and show a photograph of herself with baby okja . the man seems moved , but nancy arrives and tells to keep the production line going . before the slaughter - man continue , mija offers the golden pig to nancy in exchange for okja’s life . nancy agrees to the deal . jay was finally arrested .
few could have imagined just how enormous the cartoon would be when it first aired in britain 10 years ago this weekend . but thanks to its combination of superb animation , clever storylines with an empowerment message and the sort of storylines that appeal to both two - year - olds and their parents , peppa pig soon became a classic of the genre .
hi am from dodoma , tanzania . i have a small scale pig farm . it doesnt pay me well . i want to go commercial at least to sell 50 - 70 pigs per month . i need your assistance on how to feed pigs properly plus a reliable market for the pigs . thanks . my email address is [ email protected ] . com
already , smithfield says it has
successfully transitioned 38 % of pregnant sows on our company - owned farms in the united states from individual gestation stalls to group housing systems .
last year , hormel pledged to phase out crates and conagra , a pork processor and hog grower , says it has already eliminated the crates from half of its pig farms .
here , visitors can see for themselves how , even in today’s global , supermarket era , ‘concentrated animal feeding operations’ – or factory farms , as they’re better known – can continue to operate on gargantuan scales while still paying heed to animal welfare . places like the pig adventure exist because this clash of practical and moral needs is becoming a massive consumer sticking point .
walt and jesse visit saul to discuss finding a new venue for the lab , preferably nearby and not in an rv . saul says an in - town venue will be difficult , but walt insists that if gus could do it , they should be able to do it as well . jesse reports that he was able to find all the precursor chemicals except for methylamine . walt encourages jesse to keep looking for it , but jesse doubts he ' ll be able to scare any up . when saul advises they pull out of the meth business , walt snaps back , explaining that he ' s broke :
does that seem like an acceptable stopping point to you ?
a repeated image shows the girl leaning into the pig ' s floppy ear and whispering to calm her down . we never hear exactly what she ' s whispering , but the tight closeups of okja ' s mesmerized eye show us that she ' s listening intently and gets the gist—that the girl ' s words matter and make sense even though they don ' t speak the same language . the pig trusts her friend . all the film ' s many threads ultimately come back to questions of trust : what it means to keep it or betray trust , and whether there are circumstances where betrayal is necessary , and whether the trust between human and human is more meaningful than the trust between human and animal . mija would tell you there ' s no difference .
not only is the five - minute cartoon a staple of one of the world ' s biggest kids tv channels nick jr – the under - fives ' offshoot of the nickelodeon giant – but it has spawned a near endless glut of merchandise . there are , of course , peppa pig books and dvds – the latter sell by the truckload – but also crockery , houses and spectacles .
okja
is the heartwarming tale of a girl and her giant mutant pig , brought to life through a mix of digital effects and puppetry that makes a nonexistent beast seem as real as e . t . or king kong . it is also the tale of animal rights activists doing battle with a monsanto - like corporation that wants to turn said pig , allegedly the cutest in a batch whipped up by genetic scientists , into a poster animal for a revolutionary line of meat products . these two modes might seem incompatible . but as overseen by the great south korean director bong joon - ho (
snowpiercer ,
the host
) , they mesh in a work of melancholy enchantment , by turns sweet , funny , scary , sad , and—in the manner of all good science fiction movies—thought - provoking .

with the main focus of the waterborne team currently looking into ways to ride the wave of festival success and transform their popular short into a feature film , coonan and his team are exploring a few different avenues at the moment . “we’re definitely open to hearing from anyone who’s keen to get involved in the project” , says tomkins , “the australian film industry is quite small and tough to crack into , especially if you haven’t made a feature film before , but we’ve got a great team of passionate people behind us so we’re confident we’ll make it happen” .
thus , there is a need for a solvent - free , or low solvent containing waterborne polyurethane , which can be used in the production of a film having a balance of high tensile strength , high percentage elongation and low modulus . the polyurethane film must have elastomeric properties like those attributed to rubber — that is , it must stretch under tension , have high tensile strength , retract rapidly , and give nearly complete recovery to its original dimensions .
the tomatometer score — based on the opinions of hundreds of film and television critics — is a trusted measurement of critical recommendation for millions of fans . it represents the percentage of professional critic reviews that are positive for a given film or television show .
brief summary of the invention the present invention provides a waterborne polyurethane useful as a film having elastomeric properties . more particularly , the film has a percentage elongation greater than 700 % , a tensile strength greater than 4500 psi , a 100 % modulus below 450 psi , a 300 % modulus below 700 psi , and a 500 % modulus below 1500 psi . the polyurethane can preferably be prepared in the absence of an organic solvent or in low solvent content media .
as can be appreciated , the present invention is useful for a wide array of products that can be simply and economically manufactured using an elastomeric film cast or dipped from a waterborne polyurethane dispersion or by using the polymer , i . e . , the waterborne polyurethane dispersion , as a coating for textiles , such as backcoatings , fabric or fiber saturants , finishes , or transfer coatings , or other textile and non - textile applications where good elastomeric properties would be useful . the film can be prepared in the absence of a solvent , thus making it attractive for a variety of protection products for medical and industrial applications such as gloves , condoms , catheters , and the like .
still another advantage of the present invention is that an elastomeric film cast from a polyurethane dispersion can be simply and economically manufactured .
waterborne prior art polyurethane materials , on the other hand , have not yielded the requisite combination of high tensile strength , high percentage elongation and low modulus characteristic of the natural or synthetic rubber set out in table i .
also , these prior art waterborne polyurethane materials have been mechanically deficient in that they have not yielded a film having the requisite combination of high tensile strength , high percentage elongation and low modulus characteristic of natural or synthetic rubber . for example , t . able i below , shows typical values of tensile strength , percentage elongation , and modulus for natural rubber .
warning : this film is in the horror genre . there are a few short scenes which viewers may find upsetting . it is not suitable for children . waterborne is a short film following the journey of a park ranger confronted by a zombie kangaroo on a lonely country road . made in regional victoria by director ryan coonan and producer marisa brown , this prequel to a feature film currently in development has already screened at 50 festivals around the world and won several awards . the zombieroo itself is a combination of puppetry and visual effects , created with the help of more than 250 crowdfunding supporters who raised more than $ 17 , 000 for its construction
according to a first aspect of the invention , a waterborne polyurethane dispersion having elastomeric properties is provided . the polyurethane comprises the reaction product of ( a ) a polyisocyanate component ; ( b ) an active hydrogen containing component , such as a polyol or a polyamide ; and ( c ) a water - solubilizing compound having water - solubilizing groups to form an isocyanate terminal prepolymer , which is neutralized by reaction with a tertiary amine , dispersed in water , and the reaction product is then chain extended by reaction with a primary or secondary amine . the polyurethane dispersion is capable of fonning a film having a tensile strength greater than about 3500 psi and a percentage elongation greater than about 700 % . the polyurethane is prepared in a low cosolvent system , preferably in the absence of an organic solvent . according to a second aspect of the invention , a waterborne polyurethane for use as a film having elastomeric properties is provided , the film having a tensile strength greater than about 3500 psi and a percentage elongation greater than about 700 % . the film also has a 100 % modulus below 450 psi , 300 % modulus below 700 psi , and a 500 % modulus below 1500 psi . according to a third aspect of the invention , a film cast from a waterborne polyurethane dispersion is provided , the film having a percentage elongation greater than about 700 % and a tensile strength greater than about 4500 psi . the film may be used in the manufacture of various products , particularly medical gloves , regular gloves , catheters , tubing and condoms , and the like products , which would benefit from being made from a polymer having the characteristics of the polymer of the present invention .
51 . the film of claim 43 wherein the long - chain polyol has an average molecular weight from about 2900 to about 5500 daltons .
carbondale – next week’s colorado premiere of the critically acclaimed new independent film , “waterborne , ” in carbondale , is also a homecoming for some up - and - coming young film talent . ”waterborne , ” which recently won several awards at the sxsw , harlem international and methodfest film festivals , was co - produced by carbondale native taylor phillips , and stars another carbondalian , jake muxworthy . taylor’s brother , ben phillips , was also part of the film crew as a camera assistant , and basalt - area native jennifer clasen was the still photographer for the project . the carbondale council on arts and humanities sponsors the screening at 7 : 30 p . m . thursday at the crystal theatre , followed by a reception from 9 - 11 p . m . at the black nugget . tickets are $ 10 at sounds easy or at the door . all four valley natives will be on hand for the event , and another local talent , emily blong , will perform her original music during the reception , starting at 10 p . m . in addition to ccah’s ongoing mission to showcase local talent , phillips said premiering the film in his hometown could accomplish another goal .
still a further advantage of the present invention is that a wide array of products can be simply and economically manufactured using an elastomeric film cast or dipped from a waterborne polyurethane dispersion or by using the polymer , i . e . , the waterborne polyurethane dispersion , as a coating for textiles , such as backcoatings , fabric or fiber saturants , finishes , or transfer coatings , or other textile and non - textile applications where good elastomeric properties would be useful . still other benefits and advantages of the invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon a reading and understanding of the following detailed specification .

he met “waterborne” writer / director ben rekhi and co - producers smritri mundhra and salvy maleki while working on “o brother where art thou ? ”” ( rekhi ) came to me with the money and the script , and i used some of my l . a . contacts to pull together a crew , ” phillips said . “he’s very concerned with material elements , like water and oil , which goes along with the main threat in the film . ”phillips is one of the youngest filmmakers to join the director’s guild of america . he wrote his first screenplay , “the americans , ” while on vacation in europe , and is working on his second . “waterborne” was his first film as a producer . phillips had heard of and briefly met muxworthy , and invited him among dozens of other actors to play the part of bodi . ”bodi is a lumberjack , and jake had worked in saw mills , so there were a lot of parallels , ” phillips said . “he fit the role perfectly . ”muxworthy also grew up in carbondale and graduated from yampah mountain high school . he made his feature film debut playing an out - for - trouble skateboarder in “grind , ” opposite adam brody and mike vogel .
waterborne’s writers ( director coonan and richard barcaricchio ) , had been working on a zombie feature film set in an australian country town for some time when they agreed to make their short as a ‘proof of concept’ film . deciding their feature should include not only humans being infected by the blood - thirsty virus , but local wildlife who also drank from the contaminated water supply , the pair knew if they wanted people to support the film , they would need some kind of proof that it’s going to work first . “we wanted to explore the world that ryan and richard had created in their feature film script” , says vfx supervisor / editor / colourist chris tomkins , “and give the zombie genre a uniquely australian twist , and what’s more australian than a zombie kangaroo ? for many australians , encountering a stubborn kangaroo on a country road is a common experience and we wanted to put a genuinely creepy slant on this occurrence . and for the international audience , who already view australia as a bit of a scary place , we wanted to further drive home the idea that our wildlife is terrifying ! but from a practical standpoint , we also wanted to experiment with the combination of practical and visual effects to create our zombieroo , especially with the feature film in development” .
among our other exciting screenings this year are shonali bose ' s amu , on the assassination of indira gandhi ; chicken tikka masala , a film on a gay man ' s attempts to avoid his family ' s arranged marriage proposal ; waterborne , a post 9 / 11 saga by smriti mundhra . complimenting them are some very compelling documentaries like mystelle brabee ' s highway courtesans , academy winner born into brothels , continuous journey and runaway grooms by ali kazimi and a host of short narrative and documentary films .
the non - profit group , which works to promote equal opportunities for women in the film industry , chose the recipients from more than 250 feature - length narrative films , documentaries and shorts .
having developed a love for the blood - soaked films of george a romero , sam raimi and peter jackson as a teenager , it warms my heart to see practical fx still in use in a time when cgi is so readily available . recent shorts from ray sullivan , chris mcinroy and brian lonano have showcased there’s still a passionate audience for these “gore” films and waterborne not only taps into this market , but also the recent trend of tongue - in - the cheek thriller’s ( sharknado i’m looking at you ! ) featuring animals running rampage ( although waterborne’s blend of horror / dark - comedy feels more akin to jonathan king’s black sheep than these aformentioned films ) .
50 . the film of claim 49 wherein the polyester polyol is one selected from the group consisting of a hexane diol neopentyl glycol aditate , ethylene glycol / diethylene glycol adipate , and mixtures thereof .
58 . the film of claim 43 wherein the amine for chain extension is one selected from the group consisting of diethylene triamine , ethylene diamine , meta - xylylenediamine , aminoethylethanolamine . hydrazine and mixtures thereof .

“band aid” directed , written , and produced by zoe lister - jones in the wake of a miscarriage , a couple can’t stop fighting , so they decide to turn all their fights into songs in a last - ditch effort to save their marriage . snapshot bio : zoe lister - jones is an american actress , singer , playwright , and screenwriter who currently co - stars in the cbs sitcom life in pieces . in 2009 , lister - jones co - starred , co - wrote , and co - produced ( with daryl wein ) the independent feature , breaking upwards . the film premiered at the sxsw film festival . lola versus was her second project co - written with director wein , which premiered at the tribeca film festival in 2012 . in 2015 , lister - jones and wein co - wrote consumed , which premiered at the los angeles film festival .
40 . the polyurethane of claim 23 wherein the film further comprises a 100 % modulus below 450 psi , a 300 % modulus below 700 psi , and a 500 % modulus below 1500 psi at 72 ┬░ f .
20 . the polyurethane dispersion of claim 1 wherein the film further comprises a 100 % modulus below 400 psi , a 300 % modulus below 700 psi , and a 500 % modulus below 1500 psi at 72 ┬░ f .
measurements of tensile strength at breaking , percentage elongation , and modulus of elasticity corresponding to samples of polyurethane film cast from the polyurethane dispersions of examples i - vii are recorded in tables ii - a through viii - b below .
shot on location in regional victoria , australia , the film only came about due to the amazing support from over 250 crowdfunding backers , who helped fund the creation of an incredible zombie kangaroo puppet , as well as a digitally animated zombieroo .
with waterborne’s main attraction its zombieroo , i couldn’t turn down the opportunity to quiz vfx supervisor tomkins about creating his murderous marsupial and how they went about bringing him / her to life . “it was definitely the most complex short we’ve ever made” says tomkins , “filming overnight in freezing conditions and isolated locations , utilising special effects , visual effects , puppetry , guns , and explosions all at once ! the most unusual aspect of the whole film was creating a zombie kangaroo combining both practical and visual effects . a good deal of the film features the zombieroo puppet , which was also augmented using vfx to blink , snarl , etc ) but then we also had an entirely digital zombieroo ( which was used in the wider shots or whenever you see the full body or bottom half , given our puppet is only waist - up ) . trying to merge these elements to create a seamless creature was difficult , but we’ve had many people ask which scenes use the puppet and which are the digital roo , so hopefully we’ve achieved our goal ! ”
the waterborne polyurethane polymer of the present invention is synthesized by reacting a polyisocyanate with an active hydrogen containing , high molecular weight product , such as a long - chain polyol or a long - chain poly amide , and a water - solubilizing compound having water - solubilizing groups to form an isocyanate terminal prepolymer . the prepolymer is subsequently neutralized with a tertiary amine and dispersed in water . the dispersed prepolymer is then chain - extended using a functional primary and / or secondary amine having at least 2 active hydrogens .

if you enjoyed crash you will undoubtedly enjoy this . similar story - similar structure - similar music . if your into films in any way you ' ll appreciate the that the final cut of this movie was made on a very small budget , but gives the feel of a much bigger movie . there is a believably tense atmosphere throughout the movie which is further drove into your being by the excellent music ( very similar to crash ) . the running time is short - but leaves you feeling as though you ' ve seen a lot more . the film is a character based one and is driven along by some pretty good acting . but the film is really too short for any of the leads to really stretch there acting skills . the main guy is actually the oldest brother from
malcolm in the middle

“solace” directed , written and produced by tchaiko omawale after her father dies a 17 year girl numbs her emotions to deal with life , but when forced to live with her estranged grandmother she seeks comfort in a forbidden friendship , with the self - destructive neighbor , ultimately pushing her to confront her own pain . snapshot bio : after growing up in seven different countries while her father worked for unicef , tchaiko and her family landed in new york where she graduated from columbia university with a degree in african american studies . she has produced several short form projects : his / herstory with franklin leonard ( the black list ) , which premiered at the toronto film festival ; america’s shadows…hiv risk in black and latino youth , which received a ford foundation grant ; and her music videos which were featured on rsa films’ black dog . inspired by her own journey with an eating disorder and self - harm , she made the short film solace . the feature script for solace was a semi - finalist at the 2012 sundance writers lab .
each of the polyurethane dispersions of examples i - vii was drawn down on mylar ® made of polyethylene terepthalate at approximately 8 wet mils and through - dried at ambient temperature . the mylar ® and polyurethane were then dried for three minutes at 300°f in an oven . after drying , a 24 - hour delay passed to allow the polyurethane to equilibrate at ambient temperature . the mylar ® was then cut into 1 inch wide strips . the dried polyurethane film was removed from the mylar ® and its thickness was measured .
( c ) a water - solubilizing compound having water - solubilizing groups to form an isocyanate prepolymer , having a nco to oh ratio of about 1 . 3 / 1 to about 4 . 0 / 1 , which is neutralized by reaction with a tertiary amine , dispersed in water , and chain extended by reaction with an amine , said polyurethane dispersion , when in the form of a film , having elastic properties comparable to rubber , a tensile strength greater than about 3500 psi , a 100 % modulus below 450 psi , a 500 % modulus below 1500 psi , and a percentage elongation greater than about 700 % at 72 ┬░ f .
the most common allergic response is type iv , a type of contact dermatitis caused by not only the protein in natural rubber latex , but by the additives which improve its properties . these additives include sulfur and sulfur based chemicals and accelerators , mercaptobenzothiazoles , thiurams , carbamates , and phenylene diamines . the type i is the most serious , and possibly fatal , allergic response . because of these past problems associated with the manufacture and use of rubber , polyurethane materials have been substituted for rubber in some applications . polyurethanes are advantageous because they can be biocompatible , can be foπned into films with high water vapor transmission , are cooler to wear , and are oil resistant and do not swell in the presence of body oils . use of these prior art polyurethane materials , though , has been problematic for several reasons . for example , many of these materials must be extruded , the . rmofo . rmed or solubilized in an organic solvent to be shaped for use . further , many of these prior art polyurethane materials are synthesized using a solvent , which can be detrimental if the resultant polyurethane material is used in applications necessitating a solvent - free polyurethane , i . e . , protective devices such as condoms , gloves , and catheters . thus , both safety and environmental considerations have necessitated a search for a waterborne , water - soluble , solvent - free polyurethane .
a prepolymer diluent may be used to render the viscosity of the copolymer dispersion low enough to process the product . the preferred prepolymer diluent is n - methyl pyrrolidinone ( nmp ) , because it does not contain reactive groups , which will interfere with the reaction . it is preferred that a minimal amount of the n - methyl pyrrolidinone ( nmp ) be used , preferably in a range of 0 - 10 % n - methyl pyrrolidinone ( nmp ) by weight of the polyurethane dispersion . the maximum amount of n - methyl pyrrolidinone ( nmp ) used is preferably 10 . 0 % by weight of the resultant waterborne polyurethane dispersion . however , the copolymer dispersion is preferably prepared in the absence of a diluent . in this case , the prepolymer should be made in a way that will minimize its resultant viscosity . in neat ( no solvent ) and solution polymers , viscosity is largely determined by the molecular weight of the polymer . to minimize the molecular weight of a finished prepolymer , an nco / oh ratio of 2 / 1 should be used . in this way the diol portions are essentially endcapped by the diisocyanate species , leaving an isocyanate terminal prepolymer of relatively low viscosity . as the nco / oh ratio of a prepolymer is reduced , the resultant viscosity increases dramatically . it is recognized that cosolvent free materials can be made at below 2 / 1 nco / oh ratios , but they become more difficult to process , pump , stir , etc . also , . higher temperatures will be needed to work with such a prepolymer .
“tribe” directed and produced by jordan bryon tribe is about lgbt arabs risking their lives to be themselves in muslim - majority jordan . we follow the young bedouin trans - woman fleeing her tribe before they discover her secret transition ; the iraqi refugee murder - witness whose tribe are hunting him ; and the australian filmmaker determined to help without understanding the price of freedom in the middle east . these are some of tribe’s threads - a powerful new film that weaves together the hidden beauty and tragedy of queer lives in jordan . snapshot bio : emerging documentary filmmaker and activist jordan bryon has worked on human rights films in australia , uganda , india , jordan , and afghanistan . head miles saw jordan enter a medium - security men’s prison alone and follow the prisoners on their journey to redemption through creative expression . jordan embeds in hidden communities and builds deep relationships with people , allowing her camera to capture their rawest moments and present the tenderness , courage , and beauty that exist in struggle .
as the nco / oh ratio of a prepolymer is increased above 2 / 1 , the molecular weight will be limited as with the 2 / 1 ratio , but the excess diisocyanate will function as a diluent , further reducing viscosity . while this is a desired effect , raising the nco / oh ratio above 2 / 1 can also have negative effects . when isocyanate content of a polyurethane is increased , the hardness , or modulus of the polyurethane , along with the yield point , is increased . this is undesirable for producing a
rubbery
polymer . also , when excess diisocyanate ( obtained from using an nco / oh ratio much greater than 2 / 1 ) is introduced into a dispersion , and this dispersion is then extended with a primary ( or secondary ) amine , high molecular weight polyureas may be formed . these materials are not soluble , but by controlling the ratio in the range of 1 . 8 to 2 . 3 the results will be satisfactory . if an excess of isocyanate is used the result may be gels or grittiness in a cast film , and sediment in the dispersion . this can lead to weakened films , which have a poor appearance . for these reasons , an nco / oh ratio of about 1 . 8 / 1 to 2 . 3 / 1 are desirable , and ratios of about 1 . 9 / 1 to 2j / 1 are most desirable .
. another important factor in keeping prepolymer viscosity low is in the selection of raw materials , and the amounts in which they are used . the prefeιτed isocyanates for this invention are isophorone diisocyanate and 2 , 2 , 4 and / or 2 , 4 , 4 , trimethyl hexamethylene diisocyanate , due to their positive effects ( high strength , low modulus , low prepolymer viscosity ) on processing and film properties . to further reduce prepolymer viscosity , a polyether polyol may be substituted in whole or in part for a polyester polyol . the preferred polyether polyol is acclaim 3201 , due to its low viscosity when reacted into a prepolymer , and due to its low monol content vs . conventional polyethers . the acid content of the water - solubilizing compound is yet another consideration for producing a low viscosity prepolymer . higher acid numbers will lead to higher viscosity , but there is also a minimum amount of acid needed to render a given polyurethane backbone dispersable . the preferred carboxyl containing diol in this invention is dimethylol propionic acid . the prefeired range of carboxyl containing diol or water - solubilizing compound is from about 2 wt . % to about 4 wt . % of the total prepolymer . the amount used will approach 2 wt . % as the backbone becomes more hydrophilic , as with higher concentrations of polyether diol . as the backbone becomes more hydrophobic , as with polyester based systems , the acid content needed for dispersion will approach 3 - 4 wt . % .
