Moisture access should be prevented. The product must be homogenized before processing.
Product description
Baypreg F 315 system is a two component polyurethane system used in compression molding. Baypreg F 315 is specially formulated to be processed without the need for carbon dioxide injection.
Applications
Baypreg F 315 system is a two component polyurethane system used in compression molding of fiber-reinforced sandwich panels to produce a variety of automotive parts. Some identified applications include door panels, sunshades, spare tire covers, load floors, etc. The Baypreg F 315 system provides lightweight alternatives to ABS, PP, SMC, and wood products while demonstrating very high flexural stiffness and excellent thermal properties. Baypreg F 315 system offers very diverse properties over a wide range of part thicknesses and densities while still providing cost effective substrate parts when combined with reinforcing materials. As with any product, use of the Baypreg F 315 system in a given application must be tested (including field testing, etc.) in advance by the user to determine suitability.
Typical Values
* These items are provided as general information only. They are approximate values and are not part of the product specifications.
Storage
The isocyanate, Component A (MDI isocyanate) should be stored in tightly closed containers and protected from contamination with moisture and foreign materials, which can adversely affect processing. It will react slowly with water to form polyureas and liberate carbon dioxide gas, which may cause sealed containers to expand and rupture. Storage temperature should be maintained between 10° and 30°C (50° and 86°F). The polyol blend, Component B, is hygroscopic and should be protected from atmospheric moisture by sealing the container, or blanketing the product with a dry atmosphere. Component B is not phase stable and needs mixed thoroughly before and during use. Contamination with foreign materials, which can adversely affect processing, should be avoided. Materials should be stored at normal room temperature (18° to 30°C).
Storage time
Covestro represents that, for a period of 6 months (180 days) following the day of shipment as stated in the respective transport documents, the product will meet the specifications or values set forth in chapter "Typical Values" above, what ever is applicable, provided that the product is stored in full compliance with the storage conditions set forth in and referenced under chapter "storage" above and is otherwise handled appropriately. The lapse of the 6 months (180 days) period does not necessarily mean that the product no longer meets specifications or the set values. However, prior to using said product, Covestro recommends to test such a product if it still meets the specifications or the set values.
