Arakawa F-390 Polyurethane Resin – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary function of Arakawa F-390 in polyurethane formulations?

A: Arakawa F-390 is a reactive polyurethane resin designed to serve as a chain extender and crosslinking agent, enhancing mechanical strength, abrasion resistance, and thermal stability in thermosetting PU systems such as coatings, adhesives, and elastomers.


Q2: Is Arakawa F-390 compatible with aromatic and aliphatic isocyanates?

A: Yes — F-390 demonstrates broad compatibility with both aromatic (e.g., MDI, TDI derivatives) and aliphatic (e.g., HDI, IPDI-based) isocyanates, making it suitable for formulating light-stable and non-yellowing PU systems where required.


Q3: How should Arakawa F-390 be handled and stored to maintain its reactivity?

A: Store in tightly sealed containers under dry, inert conditions (e.g., nitrogen blanket) at room temperature. Minimize exposure to moisture, heat, and ambient air during handling, as F-390 contains reactive hydroxyl groups that may undergo premature reaction or viscosity increase upon prolonged contact with humidity.


Q4: Can Arakawa F-390 be used in solvent-free or high-solids PU systems?

A: Yes — its low volatility and tailored molecular weight allow effective incorporation into solvent-free, high-solids, and UV-curable hybrid PU formulations without significant viscosity penalty or outgassing concerns.
