Abstract:
The thermoplastic polyurethane compositions described herein have very good recovery properties, rebound resilience, or both, while also having good softness (i.e. low hardness). It has been difficult to provide thermoplastic polyurethane compositions with this combination of properties. Some compositions described herein also provide low haze and/or good clarity properties. These combination of properties make the thermoplastic polyurethane compositions described herein useful materials for application that require fast recovery, good rebound resilience, or both while also requiring soft materials, and in some embodiments low haze and/or good clarity.

Claim (Index 11):
A process of making an article, comprising:\n providing a thermoplastic polyurethane composition made from the reaction of:\n a) a polyisocyanate; \n b) a polyol component comprising at least one polycaprolactone polyester polyol; and \n c) a chain extender component comprising at least one diol chain extender of the general formula HO\u2014(CH 2 ) x \u2014OH wherein x is an integer from 9 to about 16; \n wherein the thermoplastic polyurethane composition has a Shore D hardness of less than 60, a haze value of less than 36, and a DMA value meausred at 0.1 rad/s of less than 0.1880, and a DMA value measure at 100 rad/s of less than 0.2660; \n and molding said thermoplastic polyurethane composition to form an article.
