Aromatic polyisocyanate based on diphenylmethane diisocyanate.In combination with suitable Desmophen® grades in the formulation of two-component polyurethane coatings, fillers, sealing compounds and synthetic resin mortars.
Product description
Applications
Desmodur® VL is combined with, for example, Desmophen® 5028 GT, 1380 BT or castor oil based polyols. Depending on the Desmophen® product used, the coatings yielded can be varied from hard to flexible.It is necessary to add water scavengers such as molecular sieve paste® 3 Å to the polyol component to prevent the undesired reaction of Desmodur® VL with water.Systems formulated with Desmodur® VL are suitable for coating concrete, asphalt, fibrous cement and plastics.
