Neuthane™ 500 Series Aliphatic - PTMEG Ether Prepolymer (94 Shore A - 70 Shore D)

Neuthane™ 500 Series Aliphatic - PTMEG Ether Prepolymer (94 Shore A - 70 Shore D)

Properties

The Neuthane™ 500 series are high performance Aliphatic Isocyanate prepolymers designed to produce items for use in extreme application areas.

Features

  • a very high level of physical properties
  • exceptional dynamic performance
  • the highest level of hydrolysis resistance
  • ease of use
  • low viscosity
  • water clarity and UV stability*
  • wide hardness range depending upon curative used

Typical Applications

  • High load roll coverings (e.g. steel industry)
  • Roller coverings for use in hot/wet environments (e.g. pre treatment
    and squeegee rolls in the steel industry)
  • High temperature applicationsPaper mill rollers

Processing can be by hand or by dispensing machine

Hand Processing

  • Melt prepolymer at 50-70°C for 12-24 hours (as a guide the grades with the lower NCO value will take longer to melt than those with very high level NCO values)
  • Heat the prepolymer and curative to the recommended temperature
  • Add pigments and Antifoam, as applicable, whilst mixing
  • It is recommended that air be removed from the prepolymer under vacuum prior to addition of the curative
  • Add the curative and thoroughly mix ensuring that no unmixed material is left on the container sides (if necessary the mix can be transferred to a second clean container and mixed again)
  • Remove air under vacuum
  • Cast into moulds, preheated to the recommended temperature
  • Cure as recommended

Processing

  • Avoid prolonged storage of prepolymers at elevated temperatures.
  • This will result in low hardness and lower properties of the cured material
  • Avoid moisture contamination of all materials
  • Ensure thorough mixing of curatives prior to use
  • Remove air, under vacuum, from the prepolymer components prior to use
  • Part used containers should be flushed with dry nitrogen and resealed immediately after use

Alternatives

  • Solvents – ester based systems should be considered Neuthane™ 200 [TDI] or Neuthane™ 700 [MDI]
  • Cost – Aromatic Isocyanate / PTMEG based systems should be considered: Neuthane™ 100 [TDI] or Neuthane™ 600 [MDI]
