Neuthane™ 300 Series TDI – PPG Ether Prepolymers (80 - 95 Shore A)
Properties
The Neuthane 300 series of TDI-PPG ether prepolymers are designed to offer a reasonable level of physical properties at a price advantage over TDI–PTMEG systems.
They offer:
- a reasonable level of physical properties
- low cost
- good hydrolysis resistance
- ease of use
- low viscosity
Typical Applications
- Dunnage
- Non-dynamic roller coverings (e.g. conveyor rollers for the steel industry)
- Scraper blades (e.g. snow plough blades)
- Wheels (low load)
Processing can be by hand or by dispensing machine
Hand Processing
- Melt prepolymer at 50-60°C for 12-24 hours
- 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 mixcan 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 Considerations
- Avoid prolonged storage of prepolymers at elevated temperatures.
- This will result in low hardness and lower properties of the cured materialAvoid moisture contamination of all materials
- Part used containers should be flushed with dry nitrogen and resealed immediately after use
- The development of cure is longer than for PTMEG systems.
- Rapid temperature changes during the early stage of cure should be avoided
Alternatives
- Dynamic / Resilience – Neuthane 100 [TDI-PTMEG] or Neuthane 600 [MDI-PTMEG]
- Solvents / Abrasion – ester based systems should be considered Neuthane 200 [TDI] or Neuthane 700 [MDI]
- Humid / Wet – MDI or Aliphatic Isocyanate based systems should be considered: Neuthane 600 [MDI] or Neuthane 500 [Aliphatic]
