Virtually colorless to slightly yellowish liquid. The color does not influence the quality of the bonds.
Product description
Applications
After addition of Desmodur® RC, the ready-to-use two-component adhesive must be used within its pot life. This is not only governed by the polymer content of the adhesive but also by its other constituents (resins, antioxidants, plasticisers, solvents, etc.). At the end of the pot life, usually several hours or one working day, the adhesive becomes in-creasingly difficult to work and its viscosity increases rapidly. Finally, irreversible gelling occurs.The following guide values can be used in determining the addition by weight. To crosslink 100 pbw adhesive: Desmocoll® (hydroxyl polyurethane)4 - 7 pbw Desmodur® RC(polyurethane content approx. 20 %) Baypren® (chloroprene rubber)4 - 7 pbw Desmodur® RC(rubber content approx. 20 %)

Storage
- Storage in original sealed Covestro container. - Recommended storage temperature: 0 - 30 °C. - Protect from moisture, heat and foreign material. General information: The product is highly sensitive to moisture and react with water to form carbon dioxide and insoluble ureas. The containers must therefore be kept tightly sealed. The ingress of water in any form (damp containers, anhydrous solvents, moist air) must be prevented as otherwise the formation of carbon dioxide may cause a dangerous increase in pressure in the containers. Exposure to air and/or light accelerates yellowing but this has no effect on the processing properties in general.
Storage time
Covestro represents that, for a period of twelve 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.
