Reaction Steps

Top coat solution D1 is a 25% solution of a polyester urethane in dimethylformamide (DMF)/methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) (1:1) with a viscosity of 10,000 cP/25° C. The polyester urethane elastomer is obtained from 2000 g (1.0 mol) of a copolyester of ethylene glycol/butane-1,4-diol and adipic acid (molecular weight 2000), 108.0 g (1.20 mol) of butane-1,4-diol, 141.6 g (1.20 mol) of hexane-1,6-diol and the equivalent quantity of 4,4'-diphenylmethane diisocyanate (850 g) by a one-shot process. The molar ratio of chain-lengthening agents is therefore 1:1.
