Q1: What is the primary function of Desmophen 1200 in polyurethane systems?
A: Desmophen 1200 is a low-viscosity, hydrophobic polyester resin designed primarily as a reactive polyol component in moisture-curing and two-component polyurethane formulations. It contributes flexibility, hydrolytic stability, and good low-temperature performance to the final polymer network.
Q2: Is Desmophen 1200 compatible with aromatic and aliphatic isocyanates?
A: Yes, Desmophen 1200 exhibits broad compatibility with common diisocyanates—including HDI, IPDI, and TDI—and performs well in both aromatic and aliphatic PU systems. Its ester structure supports consistent reactivity and predictable gel times across typical processing conditions.
Q3: How does Desmophen 1200 compare to adipate-based or caprolactone-based polyols in terms of hydrolytic resistance?
A: Desmophen 1200 offers significantly improved hydrolytic stability compared to standard adipate polyols due to its aromatic polyester backbone and optimized molecular architecture. While not as inherently resistant as certain caprolactone polyols, it provides a balanced profile of durability, processability, and cost-effectiveness for demanding outdoor or humid-environment applications.
