Association (PDA) and

A pure polyurea coating/elastomer is derived from the reaction product of an isocyanate component and a resin blend component such as amine-terminated polymer
resins, and/or amine-terminated chain extenders. The isocyanate can be aromatic or
aliphatic in nature. It can be a monomer, a polymer, or any variant reaction of isocyanates,
a quasi-prepolymer or a prepolymer. The prepolymer, or a quasi-prepolymer, can be made
of an amine-terminated polymer resin, or a hydroxyl-terminated polymer resin.
The resin blend must be made up of amine-terminated polymer resins, and/or amineterminated chain extenders. The amine-terminated polymer resins will not have any
intentional hydroxyl moieties. Any hydroxyls are the result of incomplete conversion to the
amine-treminated polymer resins. The resin blend may also contain additives or nonprimary components. These additives may contain hydroxyls, such as pre-dispersed
pigments in a polyol carrier. Normally, the resin blend will not contain a catalyst.

Benefits
Faster lm property development

aliphatic compounds (comparable
to aromatic amines)
Excellent UV and color stability of

for a stronger crosslinking. With the very

long-chain Polyetheramine T 5000 as part
of the curing system very exible and
elastic lms are obtained.
In addition to high exibility the Polytetrahydrofuranamine 1700 leads to reduced
moisture uptake and swelling as well as
to improved abrasion resistance.
