Zusammenfassung:The invention is a method of making a molded reaction injection molded elastomer which will release from its mold with reduced frequency of application of external mold release agents. The reaction injection molded (RIM) elastomer is made by injecting exactly two streams via a RIM machine into a mold cavity of the desired configuration, a formulation comprising in the first stream a high molecular weight polyhydric polyether, a low molecular weight active hydrogen containing compound of at least two functionality and an internal mold release agent, and in the second stream an aromatic polyisocyanate and tin catalyst in an amount equal to 100% of the tin catalyst present in the formulation. The resulting RIM elastomer may be removed from the mold easily. RIM elastomers are useful, for example, for automobile body parts.
