Product description
Desmodur BL 3575/1 MPA/SN is a blocked aliphatic polyisocyanate based on hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI). It is suitable for use in combination with Desmophen® grades to formulate lightfast, one-component stoving polyurethane coatings.
Applications
Desmodur BL 3575/1 MPA/SN is combined with Desmophen types to formulate light-fast, weather-stable, chemical- and highly heat-resistant, one-component polyurethane stoving coatings.The main applications are in topcoats for automotive OEM and in high-grade industrial finishes (can-/coil-coatings, etc.).Compared with Desmodur BL 3175 SN, Desmodur BL 3575/1 MPA/SN allows a reduction in the stoving temperature of approximately 10°C, without any decrease in solvent and chemical resistance.Typical stoving conditions without catalyst are, e.g. for combinations with Desmophen T 1665: 160°C for 20 minutes, 170°C for 10 minutes, or 190°C for 5 minutes.The use of a metal catalyst can significantly reduce the stoving temperatures. Used in the coil coating systems, Desmodur BL 3575/1 MPA/SN achieves sufficient crosslinking without the addition of a catalyst from a peak metal temperature of approx. 232°C and above.As with any product, use of Desmodur BL 3575/1 MPA/SN in a given application must be tested (including but not limited to field testing) in advance by the user to determine suitability.
Form supplied
Form supplied is approximately 75% in solvent naphtha 100/1-methoxypropylacetate-2 (17 : 8).

Solubility / thinnability
Desmodur BL 3575/1 MPA/SN can be thinned with esters, ketones and aromatic hydrocarbons such as: ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, methoxypropylacetate, acetone, methyl isobutyl ketone, toluene, xylene, solvent naphtha 100, 150 and mixtures thereof.Generally speaking, it has good compatibility with the solvents listed. However, the solutions formed must be tested for their storage stability. Aliphatic hydrocarbons are unsuitable as solvents.Desmodur BL 3575/1 MPA/SN should not be thinned below a solids content of 40%, with solvent naphtha to not less than 60%. Prolonged storage of a solution with a lower binder content may result in turbidity and sedimentation.
Compatibility
Given equivalent crosslinking, Desmodur BL 3575/1 MPA/SN polyisocyanate exhibits good compatibility with polyols such as Desmophen T 1665. The combinations should always be tested for their compatibility.
Storage
Desmodur BL 3575/1 MPA/SN should be stored in tightly sealed original containers and protected from moisture, heat, and foreign materials. Storage at higher temperatures will result in increase of color and viscosity. Storage at significant lower temperatures will result in solidification. This solidification is reversible by briefly heating the product without adversely affecting the quality of the product. Recommended storage temperature is 0º-30ºC.
Storage time
Desmodur BL 3575/1 MPA/SN has a shelf life of nine months from date of receipt at customer, provided the material is stored in sealed original containers at the recommended storage temperature.
