Improved Polyurea Coatings with Baxxodur PC 136
Advantages of BaxxodurTM PC 136 in comparison with conventional chain extendersIn aromatic systems, an extended potlife of about 15 secs is achieved.In aliphatic systems, apart from longer potlife and UV stability, the final properties of the coating are attained much faster (within about 4 hours).In the event of exposure to heat, polyurea coatings made from Baxxodur PC 136 will withstand...
A Unique One Component Urethane System for the Elastomer Market
AbstractA unique, one component urethane system offers a unique combination of processing advantages versus two component urethanes. The new system is based on a low free TDI prepolymer and a blocked curative composed of methylene dianiline-NaCl (MDA3-NaCl) compound. The advantages of the new ADIPRENE® K systems include consistent mix ratio, no curative melting or dusting, long pot life,...
Improving the Processing and Performance Characteristics of Viscoelastic Foam
Viscoelastic (VE), or memory, foams are a category of flexible foams which exhibit low resiliency and slow recovery in application use, primarily driven by demand in the premium bedding market. Over the past five years, demand for VE foams has increased significantly - exceeding 500MM lbs, and averaging 10 to 15 percent growth per year. However, industry experts believe growth in use of these...
