TPUA - E33D

DESCRIPITON

The light-color TPUA-E33D (similar to Bayer Desmodur RFE) is an established, universal curing agent for adhesive based on hydroxyl polyurethane, natural and synthetic rubber. TPUA-E33D can be used instead of TPUA-13-F 25G . RFE is even more satisfactory from the aspect of industrial hygiene.

 
TYPICAL PROPERTIES
Chemical composition .........................

Contains 27% thiophosphoric-tris-(p-isocyanato-phenyl ester) and 73% ethyl acetate.

Apperance ......................... Clear yellow to brownish liquid.
NCO content, %by weight ......................... 7.2±0.2.
Solubility ......................... Soluble in acetone, toluene and methyl ethyl ketone and aromatic solvents.
Storage stability ......................... Reacts readily with moisture; for best performance it should be kept dry and stored at temperatures between 5OC and 32OC

 
COMPATIBILITY WITH SOLVENTS
TPUA-E33D can be diluted with anhydrous and alcohol-free ethyl acetate dichloropropane, trichloroethylene, acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, toluene, and other solvents. The addition of relatively large proportions of aliphatic hydrocarbons can cause turbidity; but the solution of natural rubber in aliphatic hydrocarbons show good compatibility with TPUA-E33D, in the absence of other solvents.
PERFORMANCE

TPUA-E33D shows good bonding strength in PVC with much plasticizer, SBR with plenty of oil, coasting leather, silk and so on.

APPLICATION

After the addition of TPUA-E33D, the ready-to-use double-component adhesive should be applied within a period (pot life) which is determined not only by its content of rubber but also by the other ingredients of the formulation (e.g. resins, antioxidants, solvents, etc.) If the adhesive is not used within this period, it may become increasingly difficult to apply and its viscosity increases rapidly until irreversible gelling ultimately occurs.

SUGGESTED ADDITIONS

Graft-Choloroprene rubber (rubber content approx. 16%): 3-5 p.b.w. TPUA-E33D
Choloroprene rubber (rubber content approx. 20%): 5-7 p.b.w. TPUA-E33D
Hydroxyl polyurethane (polyurethane content approx. 15%): 3-5 p.b.w. TPUA-E33D

PACKAGE

A. each 0.75 kg in an aluminum bottle.
