Product description

Polyisocyanate prepolymer based on diphenylmethane diisocyanate.As a stabilizer for pigmented moisture-curing aromatic one-component polyurethane coatings.

Applications

Desmodur® MT reacts with water to release carbon dioxide. It serves as a dewatering agent to ensure the storage stability of moisture-curing pigmented one-component polyurethane coatings. The stoichiometric conversion of 1 g of water requires approx. 28 g of Desmodur® MT. Trials and experience have shown that the best results are obtained using two or three times this amount. The reactivity of Desmodur® MT with water is comparable with the reactivity of the Desmodur® E grades. The pigments, extenders and solvents should therefore be dewatered with Desmodur MT before addition to the main binder. This will prevent unwanted reactions and an in crease in viscosity. The Desmodur® MT content in the total binder of the ready-to-use coating should not exceed 30 %, calculated on the solvent-free resin.

Form supplied

Solubility / thinnability

Generally speaking, Desmodur® MT has good solubility in esters such as ethyl acetate, butyl acetate and 1-methoxypropylacetate-2 and in aromatic hydrocarbons such as toluene, xylene, Solvesso® 100 and Shellsol® A. However, the solutions formed must be tested for their storage stability. The product is not compatible with white spirit.Alcohols react with Desmodur® MT and cannot therefore be used.Only PU grade solvents (< 0.05 % water) should be used. The solvents should not contain reactive groups.

Compatibility

Generally speaking, Desmodur® MT has good compatibility with other aromatic polyisocyanate prepolymers such as Desmodur® E 21, Desmodur® E 22 and Desmodur® E 1361.

Storage

- Storage in original sealed Covestro container. - Recommended storage temperature: room temperature (approx. 23 °C) - Protect from moisture, heat and foreign material. General information: The product is sensitive to moisture and should therefore be stored in its sealed original containers.
