ADIPRENE LF PRODUCTS
ESTERS & ETHERS

ADIPRENE® LF products are TDI-based prepolymers with exceptionally

low levels of free TDI monomer. These products offer cast polyurethane
processors important advantages in three areas:

Hygiene
All TDI based prepolymers contain unreacted TDI monomer. The level of
monomer can vary from 0.1% to 5.0% by weight, with high hardness
materials generally having the highest level of free TDI. Regardless of
hardness, all ADIPRENE LF products have less than 0.1% free TDI,
which can be beneficial in the management and control of worker
exposure to TDI.

Processing
Relative to conventional TDI based prepolymers of equal hardness,
ADIPRENE LF products have the processing advantages of longer pot life
and lower viscosity. These qualities can improve the performance of a
casting operation by reducing scrap while increasing the variety of
products that may be made via the casting process.
Urethane
Prepolymers End-Use Performance
A third advantage of ADIPRENE LF prepolymers is excellent end-use
dynamic performance. This material has low heat build-up due to
hysteresis in high speed, high load-bearing applications such as rolls, tires
and wheels. Therefore, it may be possible to expand the use of
polyurethane into more dynamically demanding applications.
