                          This is a decision on appeal from the examiner’s final rejection of claims 1-7, all                   
                  of the claims pending in appellants’ involved application.                                                    
                          The appealed claims are directed to a process for producing a solid polyurethane                      
                  (PU) molding by a casting technique.  Specifically, the process involves reacting a                           
                  diisocyanate and/or a polyisocyanate with, inter alia, a polyether polyol (number-average                     
                  molecular weight of from 149 to 999 g/mol), and a polyether (number-average molecular                         
                  weight of from 1,000 to 16,000 g/mol) having at least one group capable of reacting with                      
                  an isocyanate group.
