Catalyst-containing stable polyurethane forming compositions which are non-cytotoxic when cured and separatory devices employing same

摘要

The present invention is directed to improvements in non-cytotoxic polyurethane compositions. The improvement in the polyurethane compositions is achieved by reacting at least one NCO-terminated prepolymer and at least one polyol in the presence of a dialkyltin dicarboxylated catalyst composition. The catalyst reduces the curing time of the polyurethane resin and cannot be released therefrom. The improved polyurethane compositions are advantageously employed in separatory devices such as hollow fiber separatory devices intended to be used in biomedical applications. The separatory device employs at least one separatory membrane suitable for the intended end use application which is secured, potted or sealed in a housing using a cured flexible polyurethane composition.
