Tosoh CORONATE HK Isocyanate Curing Agent – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary chemical composition of CORONATE HK?

A: CORONATE HK is a low-viscosity, aliphatic polyisocyanate based on hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) trimer chemistry, modified to provide enhanced storage stability and reduced volatility compared to standard HDI isocyanates.


Q2: How does CORONATE HK differ from aromatic isocyanate curing agents like TDI or MDI?

A: Unlike aromatic isocyanates, CORONATE HK offers superior UV stability and color retention, making it suitable for high-performance coatings where long-term gloss and non-yellowing properties are critical—such as automotive clearcoats, industrial maintenance finishes, and premium architectural systems.


Q3: What is the typical recommended dosage range when using CORONATE HK in two-component polyurethane systems?

A: Dosage depends on formulation requirements and the hydroxyl value of the resin component, but CORONATE HK is generally used at low concentrations—typically ranging from 0.1% to 2% by weight relative to total formulation solids—to achieve optimal crosslink density without compromising pot life or film flexibility.


Q4: Is CORONATE HK compatible with moisture-cure or one-component polyurethane systems?

A: No—CORONATE HK is specifically designed for use in two-component (2K) polyurethane systems where it reacts selectively with hydroxyl-functional resins. It is not formulated for ambient moisture-cure applications and requires precise stoichiometric blending with compatible OH-terminated polymers.
