Product description
Hydrophilic aliphatic polyisocyanate based on hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) and toluene diisocyanate (TDI). Hardener for fast drying waterborne two-component polyurethane systems.
Applications
Bayhydur® quix ultra 306-70 is a ready to use fast curing crosslinking agent for waterborne systems with easy incorporation and high chemical resistance. Despite its relatively low hydrophilic properties, this hardener can be easily dispersed in the aqueos phase, even at low shear forces typically found in common applications. Coatings formulated with the product yield films with high gloss and very low haze. The increase in viscosity during mixing that is typical for hydrophilized hardeners, in particular with ionically hydrophilized polyol dispersions, can be controlled by prethinning with water or slight amounts of organic cosolvent.The dispersibility of the product in water is influenced by organic cosolvents, but in different ways. 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.The optimized balance of the aliphatic-aromatic polymer composition together with its high reactivity obtain good film aspects. Certain yellowing can be observed due to the partial aromatic character of the polymer. The use of anionic hydrophilization and high functionality results in coatings with excellent chemical resistance. Bayhydur® quix ultra 306-70 can be used as a crosslinking partner for waterborne polyol binders (Bayhydrol®) and as a crosslinker for largely pH-neutral waterborne polymer dispersions such as polyurethane, polyvinyl acetate, polyacrylate and synthetic rubber dispersions.After addition of Bayhydur® quix ultra 306-70, the ready-to-use two-component formulation must be used within the pot life. This is not only governed by the polymer content but also by its other constituents (resin, thickener, plasticizer, etc.). With many dispersions, the end of this pot life – usually several hours – is not marked by gelling.

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.
Storage time
Covestro represents that, for a period of six 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.The lapse of the six months period does not necessarily mean that the product no longer meets specifications or the set values. However, prior to using said product, Covestro recommends to test such a product if it still meets the specifications or the set values. Covestro does not make any representation regarding the product after the lapse of the six months period and Covestro shall not be responsible or liable in any way for the product failing to meet specifications or the set values after the lapse of the six months period.
