BJB Enterprises WC-540-AB

BJB Enterprises WC-540-AB is a two-part, water clear, colorless aliphatic based polyurethane elastomer. It is recommended for use whenever a flexible, permanently transparent elastomer is required. It is UV light and oxidation resistant and can be easily tinted or pigmented to clean bright colors.WC-540-AB does not contain MOCA, TDI or MDA. In addition to being an excellent castable product, it also functions well as a solvent-free adhesive for bonding various substrates.

CURE SCHEDULE/HEAT CURING:

Most of the physical properties can be achieved in 5-7 days at 77ºF (25ºC). You may use your own post-cure schedule but the physical properties may vary from BJB’s cure schedule of 1-3 hours at 77ºF (25ºC) followed by 16hours at 160 ºF (71). Do not exceed curing temperatures of 200ºF (93ºC).

If you are using heat to accelerate the demold time, allow the part to cool down to ambient temperature before demolding.

Safety & Health

Safty Precaution

Avoid contact with skin using protective glovesand protective clothing. Repeated or prolonged contact on the skin may cause an allergic reaction. Eye protection is extremely important. Always use approved safety glasses or goggles when handling this product. Use in well-ventilated areas. Avoid breathing vapors. If exposures cannot be kept at a minimum, a respirator may be necessary in addition to ventilation. The use of a positive pressure air supplied respirator is mandatory when airborne isocyanate concentrations are “not known” or exceeds OSHA’S TWA of 0.005 ppm. Air purifying, organic cartridge type respirators are not generally recommended to use when handling this material without implementation of an end of life service program. Observe OSHA regulations for respirator use (29 CFR 1910.134). Employers are responsible for selecting the correct respirator for each situation.
