Degradable Polyurethane Elastomers

Patent Title: DEGRADABLE EXTRUSION RESISTANT COMPOSITIONS AND ARTICLES OF MANUFACTURE

 Number/Link: WO2018/013288

Applicant/Assignee:  Baker Hughes Inc.

Publication date: 18 January 2018

Gist”: Polyester-PU elastomers are compression moulded together with fine particles of acid or base

Why it is interesting: The invention is about moulded polyurethane parts for use as temporary components in boreholes and which can be controllably degraded. The degradability is achieved by compression moulding polyester PU elastomers together with an acidic or basic fine powder.  In an example a polyester-TDI ‘full’ prepolymer is reacted with 1,3-propanediol-bis-(4-aminobezoate) and compression moulded with a sulfamic acid powder. The moulded parts could be degraded within 2 weeks in water of 50-90°C.
