Abstract:
The present invention is directed to an improved internal mold release system for the production of high density molded SRIM parts, i. e. molded parts having a density of from 1. 3 to 2. 0 g/cc. In particular, the process includes reacting a reaction mixture including an organic polyisocyanate and at least one organic compound containing isocyanate-reactive hydrogens in the presence of a catalyst and an internal mold release agent in a closed mold. The internal mold release agent includes: a) mixed esters including the reaction product of i) aliphatic dicarboxylic acids, ii) aliphatic polyols, and iii) monocarboxylic acids with 12 to 30 carbon atoms in the molecule. The reaction mixture may additionally include a fatty acid such as, for example, oleic acid.
