Solubility / thinnability
The product is generally compatible with organic solvents such as esters or ethers. However, solubility and compatibility should be tested in each case. Regarding the influence of the solvent (cosolvent) on the emulsibility of the polyisocyanate, please refer to the information in the section "Properties/applications". Only PU grade solvents should be used (< 0.05 % water).
Storage
- Storage in original sealed Covestro container.
- Recommended storage temperature: 0 - 30 °C.
- Protect from moisture, heat and foreign material.
General information: Hydrophilic isocyanates are very moisture-sensitive and react with water to form carbon dioxide and insoluble ureas. The containers must always be kept tightly closed. The access of water in all forms (moist air, solvents, moist containers) must be prevented, because the generation of carbon dioxide can lead to dangerous increases in pressure. Storage at higher temperatures will result in increase of color and viscosity.

Film properties
Because of its hydrophilic character, Bayhydur® 2547 A can be easily dispersed in the aqueous phase. It is used primarily as the crosslinking agent for waterborne polyol binders (Bayhydrol®). The dispersibility of the product in water is influenced by organic cosolvents. The use of highly hydrophobic or highly hydrophilic cosolvents such as butyl acetate, xylene, butyl glycol acetate, dimethyl formamide or N-methylpyrrolidone generally leads to a coarser dispersion, which may cause turbidity in the coating film depending on the entire system. On the other hand, the use of, for example, methyl ethyl ketone, methoxypropyl acetate, dipropylene glycol dimethyl ether, propylene glycol diacetate or dicarboxylic acid diester mixtures leads to fine-particle dispersions. Bayhydur® 2547 A can also be added to conventional OH-free dispersions to improve their property profiles
Health and Safety Information
Before working with this product, you must read and become familiar with the available information regarding its risks, proper use, and safe handling. This information is provided in various formats, including the current Safety Data Sheet (SDS) and product label. SDS can be accessed via the following link:

Important
The product is used mainly as a hardener in coating materials or adhesives. The handling of coating materials or adhesives containing reactive polyisocyanates and residual monomeric HDI requires appropriate protective measures referred to in the safety data sheet. These products may therefore be used only in industrial or trade applications. They are not suitable for use in homeworker (DIY) applications.
