Product description
Aromatic/aliphatic polyisocyanate based on toluylene diisocyanate/ hexamethylene diisocyanate.In combination with various Desmophen® grades or other suitable substances containing hydroxyl groups to formulate clear or pigmented, two-component polyurethane coatings characterized by rapid drying and good lightfastness.
Applications
The rapid initial drying and early sandability are of particular advantage when formulating wood coatings. With just a few coats, high-bodied clear or pigmented finishes can be easily achieved.
Form supplied
approx. 60 % in butyl acetate

Typical Values
Solubility / thinnability
Generally speaking, Desmodur® ultra HL 1260 BA has good compatibility with the solvents listed as follows. However, the solutions formed must be tested for their storage stability. Desmodur® ultra HL 1260 BA can be thinned with ethyl acetate, butyl acetate and 1-methoxypropylacetate-2. Aromatics are not true solvents and have only limited compatibility as diluents.
Prolonged storage of a solution with low binder content may result in turbidity and sedimentation. Only PU grade solvents should be used (< 0.05 % water). The solvent should not contain reactive groups.
Compatibility
Desmodur® ultra HL 1260 BA is compatible with many Desmophen® polyester grades. It has limited compatibility with acrylates containing hydroxyl groups. Generally speaking, Desmodur® ultra HL 1260 BA is compatible with standard Desmodur® grades.
Storage
- Storage in original sealed Covestro container.
- Recommended storage temperature: {{storageTemperature}}.
- Protect from moisture, heat and foreign material.
General information: The product is sensitive to moisture. Storage at high temperatures leads to an increase in viscosity and a reduction of the NCO content.

Important
The product is mainly used as a hardener in coating materials or adhesives. The handling of coating materials or adhesives containing reactive polyisocyanates and residual levels of monomeric TDI requires appropriate protective measures (see safety data sheet). They may therefore only be used in industrial or professional applications. They are not suitable for use in do-it-yourself applications.
