Auxiliary products JEFFAMINE® polyetheramines ®
In RIM reaction injection molding technology, the use of JEFFAMINE polyetheramines can improve various physical characteristics such as thermal, abrasion and impact resistance, tear strength, solvent stability and dynamic fatigue. Similar characteristics are also seen in more standard polyurethane foam systems. The ®
®
typically-used materials are JEFFAMINE D-2000 and JEFFAMINE T-5000 amines. ®
JEFFAMINE polyetheramines, due to their very fast reaction with isocyanates, provide an extremely quick, un-catalyzed exotherm in the foam. This phenomenon can be termed a thermo-kick. This effect is most helpful in cold ambient temperatures or where heat losses have to be overcome, such as with cold substrates, molds and highly-filled systems. The very rapid primary amine/isocyanate reaction can also be utilized when it is beneficial to build cross linking and thixotropy quickly into the system. The thermo-kick is ®
strongest with a low molecular weight diamine such as JEFFAMINE D-230 or JEFFAMINE
®
D-400 amine,
®
whilst JEFFAMINE T-403 amine will give a greater degree of cross-linking and a quicker thixotropic effect, as a result being tri-functional and highly branched.
JEFFSOL® propylene carbonate Propylene carbonate acts as an excellent solvent for both isocyanate and polyols. It can be used both as a compatibiliser for systems and as a highly effective viscosity depressant.
Cleaning solvents Huntsman has developed a range of environmentally-friendly, biodegradable, high solvency power solvents, which can be efficiently used in the polyurethane industry. Solvent C 500 is an excellent solvent system to reduce the viscosity of formulations, the product has also proven to be successful as a cleaner solvent for isocyanate prepolymers. Resin Cleaner KM was developed for the removal of uncured or partially cured polyurethane compounds from tools, mixing heads or for flushing lines. Solvent 1581 is a low-VOC solvent system with high solvency power developed for use in cleaning applications.
Specialty catalyst blends In addition to the standard products, a range of specialty amine catalysts has been formulated to meet specific technical requirements. Additional formulated catalyst blends may be produced to satisfy customer needs.
