Neuthane™ 600 Series MDI – PTMEG Ether Prepolymers (80 – 95 Shore A)

Neuthane™ 600 Series MDI – PTMEG Ether Prepolymers (80 – 95 Shore A)

Properties

The Neuthane™ 600 series are high performance MDI - PTMEG prepolymers designed to produce items for use in extreme application areas.

Features

  • a very high level of physical properties
  • good dynamic performance
  • good hydrolysis resistance
  • high resilience
  • low viscosity
  • extended hardness range with CA curatives

Typical Applications

  • Wheels (e.g. fork truck, pallet truck and press on bands)
  • High performance in-line roller blade wheels (HR grades)
  • Roller coverings – wet applications (e.g. steel industry)
  • Mining and quarrying (e.g. screen decks, scraper blades)
  • Hydrocyclones
  • Oil and gas industry (e.g. gaskets)
  • Automotive (e.g. suspension bushes)

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 higher NCO values)
  • Heat the prepolymer and curative to the recommended temperature
  • Ensure 1:4 Butanediol is dry by heating to 115°C and applying vacuum
  • 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
  • Part used containers should be flushed with dry nitrogen and resealed
    immediately after use
  • Development of cure is long compared to TDI-MOCA systems.
  • Rapid temperature change during the early stages of cure should be avoided.

Alternatives

  • Solvents – ester based systems should be considered Neuthane™ 200 [TDI] or Neuthane™ 700 [MDI]
  • Cost – Ester systems can be considered: Neuthane™ 700 [MDI Prepolymer] or Neuthane™ 802 [MDI Quasi]
  • Temperature – Neuthane™ 100 [TDI PTMEG] or Neuthane™ 500 [Aliphatic Isocyanate]
