Neuthane™ 700 Series MDI – Ester Prepolymers (80 – 95 Shore A)
Neuthane™ 700 Series MDI – Ester Prepolymers (80 – 95 Shore A)
Properties
The Neuthane™ 700 series are high performance MDI - ester prepolymers designed to produceitems for use in arduous application areas.
Features
- a high level of physical properties
- good cut and abrasion resistance
- good chemical resistance
- extended hardness range with CA curatives
Typical Applications
- Mining and quarrying (e.g. screen decks, scraper blades)
- Medium load roller coverings (e.g. steel industry – dry applications)
- Oil and gas industry (e.g. gaskets, pipe pigs)
- Wheels (e.g. pallet truck)
Processing can be by hand or by dispensing machine
Hand Processing
- Melt prepolymer at 60-70°C for 12-24 hours (as a guide the grades with the lower NCO value will takelonger to melt than those with higher NCO values)
- Heat the prepolymer and curative to the recommended temperature
- Ensure 1:4 Butanediol is dry by applying vacuum at 115°C
- Add pigments and Antifoam, as applicable, whilst mixing
- It is recommended that air be removed from the prepolymer under vacuumprior 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
- Humid / Wet – PTMEG ether based systems should be considered: Neuthane™ 100 [TDI], Neuthane™ 600 [MDI] or Neuthane™ 500 [Aliphatic]
- Dynamic / Resilience – PTMEG ether based materials should be considered: Neuthane™ 100 [TDI], Neuthane™ 600 [MDI] or Neuthane™ 801 [MDI Quasi]
- Temperature – Neuthane™ 100 [TDI PTMEG] or Neuthane™ 500 [Aliphatic Isocyanate]

Neuthane™ 700AW Series MDI – Ester Prepolymers (85 – 95 Shore A)
Neuthane™ 700AW Series MDI – Ester Prepolymers (85 – 95 Shore A)
Properties
The Neuthane™ 700AW series are high performance MDI - ester prepolymers designed to produce items requiring a combination of high resilience and excellent tear strength compared to other prepolymers the ‘AW’ materials are characterised by not only impressive DIE C tear strength but also Trouser tear.
