Product description
Baytec MP-080 diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI)-terminated polyether prepolymer is based on polypropylene ether glycol (PPG).
Applications
Baytec MP-080 diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI)-terminated polyether prepolymer is based on polypropylene ether glycol (PPG). It forms clear, moisture-cured films and is used in the formulation of one-component moisture-cured binders for two-component sealants and cast elastomers. Typical applications include rubber crumb binders and flexible caulks and sealants. As with any product, use of Baytec MP-080 prepolymer in a given application must be tested (including but not limited to field testing) in advance by the user to determine suitability.

Storage
Baytec MP-080 prepolymer must be stored in tightly closed containers and protected from contamination with moisture and other foreign substances, which can adversely affect processing. It will react slowly with water to form ureas and carbon dioxide gas, which may cause sealed containers to expand and rupture. Partially filled containers should be blanketed with dry nitrogen. Storage temperatures should be maintained between 0°C and 50°C (32°F and 122°F). Under these conditions, the shelf life of Baytec MP-080 is six months after receipt of material by customer. Within this range, a storage temperature of 25°C (77°F) will maximize the storage life of the product.If solids should form because of exposure of Baytec MP-080 prepolymer to lower temperatures, it may be possible to reliquify the product by reheating. Use a well-ventilated oven for the minimum time necessary to render it clear. The temperature of the product should not exceed 60°C (140°F). Agitation or drum rollers are recommended to avoid excessive local heating, which will degrade the prepolymer. Significant amounts of MDI dimer may form during the heating process. As a result, the remelted prepolymer may be cloudy, and the processing behavior and properties of the final product may be affected.
