Applications
Bayhydrol® U 2787 can be used in combination with flexible polyurethane dispersions, e.g. Bayhydrol® UH 340/1 and UH XP 2660 to formulate soft-touch and suede-effect coatings. Suitable polyisocyanate components are Bayhydur® ultra 3100 and XP 2655, Desmodur® ultra N 3600 and N 3900.

Processing
Sand and bead mills have proved suitable as grinding equipment. During grinding, the temperature of the mill base should not exceed 40 °C.The pH-value of coating systems based on Bayhydrol® U 2787 is between approx. 7.0 - 9.0 after formulation. The coatings can be applied using conventional spraying techniques. Depending on the application, drying conditions are 30 - 45 min. at 80 °C.
After use, formulation and application equipment should be cleaned immediately or left to soak in water.Warm water, alkaline cleaning agents or alkaline isopropyl alcohol are suitable for cleaning.
