               polyether polyol prepolymer, and hardener mixture being                
               selected such that the equivalent ratio of hydroxyl                    
               functionality to isocyanate functionality is from 0.96                 
               to 1.04, and the charge-control agent is present in an                 
               amount of less than 2 weight percent based on total                    
               weight of the elastomer.                                               
                    47. A polyurethane elastomer comprising:                          
                    a polyisocyanate prepolymer formed by reacting an
