Abstract
Abstract Oligomeric carbodiimides having an average degree of condensation of from 2 to 30, obtainable by oligocondensation of a) from 40 to 100 mol % of 2,4'-diisocyanatodiphenylmethane or of a 3,3',5,5'-tetra-C 1 -C 4 -alkyl-4,4'-diisocyanatodiphenylmethane and b) from 0 to 60 mol % of a further bi- or polyfunctional aromatic isocyanate and c) if desired, complete or partial reaction of the remaining free isocyanate groups of the oligomers with an aliphatic, araliphatic or cycloaliphatic alcohol or amine, are used mainly for stabilizing polyester-containing polyurethanes against hydrolytic degradation.
