Q1: What is the primary function of BG-60T in coating and adhesive formulations?
A: BG-60T is a trimer-based curing agent designed to react with hydroxyl- or amine-functional resins—such as polyols or polyamines—to form highly crosslinked, thermoset networks. It enhances chemical resistance, hardness, and thermal stability in final cured films.
Q2: Is BG-60T compatible with aliphatic and aromatic polyisocyanate systems?
A: BG-60T is formulated for optimal compatibility with aliphatic isocyanate prepolymers and trimers, particularly in high-performance, UV-stable coatings. Compatibility with aromatic systems is possible but may require formulation adjustment and compatibility testing due to differing reactivity and yellowing tendencies.
Q3: How does BG-60T affect pot life and cure speed compared to conventional curing agents?
A: As a trimer-type curing agent, BG-60T offers a balanced reactivity profile—providing extended pot life at ambient temperatures while enabling efficient curing at elevated temperatures (e.g., 80–120 °C). Cure speed is formulation-dependent but generally faster than monomeric isocyanates and more controllable than highly reactive biuret variants.
Q4: What storage conditions are recommended to maintain BG-60T stability?
A: Store BG-60T in tightly sealed containers under dry, cool conditions (below 30 °C) and protect from moisture, direct sunlight, and prolonged exposure to ambient humidity. Prolonged storage above 35 °C or in humid environments may lead to viscosity increase or gelation over time.
