Product description
Water-thinnable, aliphatic, blocked polyisocyanateIn combination with Bayhydrol® polyols in the formulation of water-thinnable, lightfast, one-component polyurethane stoving coatings. Also as an additive to improve the flexibility, impact strength and adhesion of conventional aqueous stoving systems.Bayhydur® BL 2781 is a further development of Bayhydur® VP LS 2310.
Applications
Bayhydur® BL 2781 was developed as a hardener for water-thinnable, lightfast, one-component polyurethane stoving coatings. The properties of paint films formulated with Bayhydur® BL 2781 can be influenced like conventional two-component polyurethane coatings via the degree of crosslinking and the choice of polyol.Applications include in principle automotive OEM systems (impact-resistant primers, primer surfacers, top coats) and high-quality stoving industrial coatings for, e.g. electrical equipment, small components and automotive components.

Solubility / thinnability
Bayhydur® BL 2781 can be thinned with water, alcohols, glycols and glycol ethers.
Compatibility
Given equivalent crosslinking, Bayhydur® BL 2781 is compatible with, e.g. Bayhydrol® A 2770.
Storage
- Storage in original sealed Covestro container. - Recommended storage temperature: 5 - 23 °C. - Protect from frost, heat and foreign material.General information: The product is sensitive to frost. Prolonged freezing can damage the product irreversibly. Prolonged storage at higher temperatures may result in a decrease of viscosity and/or an increase of average particle size, possibly resulting in sedimentation or coagulation.Contamination with certain bacteria, fungi or algae may render the product unusable.
Storage time
Covestro represents that, for a period of three months following the day of shipment as stated in the respective transport documents, the product will meet the specifications or values set forth in section "specifications or characteristic data" above, what ever is applicable, provided that the product is stored in full compliance with the storage conditions set forth in and referenced under section "storage" above and is otherwise handled appropriately. The lapse of the three months 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. Covestro does not make any representation regarding the product after the lapse of the three months period and Covestro shall not be responsible or liable in any way for the product failing to meet specifications or the set values after the lapse of the three months period.
Processing
Depending on the degree of crosslinking and the co-reactant used, Bayhydur® BL 2781 crosslinks at temperatures in the range of 130 °C – 180 °C in 30 – 60 min. Depending on the stoving temperature/time and the polyol used, slight to severe thermal yellowing may occur.
