Covestro Desmodur H Pure HDI Curing Agent – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary chemical nature of Desmodur H Pure HDI?

A: Desmodur H Pure HDI is a highly purified, low-viscosity aliphatic diisocyanate based on hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI), supplied as the monomeric form without added solvents or stabilizers.


Q2: How does Desmodur H Pure differ from HDI-based polyisocyanates such as Desmodur N series?

A: Unlike modified HDI polyisocyanates (e.g., biuret or isocyanurate types), Desmodur H Pure contains only the unreacted HDI monomer, offering higher reactivity, lower viscosity, and greater sensitivity to moisture—making it suitable for applications requiring precise stoichiometric control and minimal steric hindrance.


Q3: What are key handling and storage considerations for this product?

A: Desmodur H Pure must be stored under dry, inert conditions (e.g., nitrogen blanket) in tightly sealed containers, protected from moisture and ambient humidity. Prolonged exposure to air may lead to dimerization or uretdione formation, affecting reactivity and shelf life.


Q4: Which types of resins is Desmodur H Pure typically used with?

A: It is commonly employed as a curing agent for hydroxyl-functional acrylics, polyesters, and alkyds in high-performance coatings—especially where excellent gloss retention, UV stability, and weather resistance are required, such as in automotive clearcoats and premium industrial finishes.


Q5: Is Desmodur H Pure compatible with common catalysts used in two-component polyurethane systems?

A: Yes—it responds well to standard tertiary amine and organometallic catalysts (e.g., dibutyltin dilaurate), though catalyst selection and dosage should be optimized carefully to balance pot life and cure speed, particularly given its high intrinsic reactivity.
