Evonik T1890 100 Isocyanate Curing Agent – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary chemical composition of Evonik T1890 100?

A: Evonik T1890 100 is a low-viscosity, aliphatic polyisocyanate based on hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) trimer chemistry. It contains no solvents and is designed for high-performance two-component polyurethane systems requiring excellent weather resistance and low yellowing.


Q2: How should T1890 100 be stored to maintain stability and performance?

A: Store in tightly sealed original containers under dry, cool conditions (typically below 30 °C) and protected from moisture, heat, and direct sunlight. Prolonged exposure to humidity or elevated temperatures may lead to premature gelation or viscosity increase due to reaction with ambient moisture.


Q3: What is the typical pot life when T1890 100 is mixed with common polyol resins?

A: Pot life varies significantly depending on polyol type, NCO:OH ratio, temperature, and presence of catalysts. At 23 °C and stoichiometric mixing, usable pot life generally ranges from 2 to 6 hours. Higher temperatures or catalyzed formulations will reduce working time accordingly.


Q4: Is T1890 100 compatible with moisture-cured or one-component PU systems?

A: No — T1890 100 is specifically formulated as a two-component curing agent for hydroxyl-terminated resins. It is not intended for use in moisture-cured or blocked isocyanate systems, as its reactivity profile and functionality are optimized for controlled NCO–OH reactions in solventborne or high-solids 2K PU coatings and adhesives.
