Description

A polyether prepolymer with TDI (toluene diisocyanate) end groups, formulated for high-performance industrial applications. Its low viscosity makes it easy to process even at lower temperatures, so the material is simpler and more efficient to handle. Its low free-TDI content reduces the risks associated with handling isocyanates. It offers excellent thermal stability.

Applications

Used to produce polyurethane elastomers with high mechanical strength and durability for rollers, wheels, mats, seals and other parts that must withstand wear and abrasion. Cured with MOCA it yields 83 Shore A elastomers; with TIPA/TMP, 53 Shore A. Its load-bearing capacity, abrasion resistance and range of achievable hardness make it a dependable choice for demanding applications.
