Technical Details & Test Data

Viscosity vs Temperature

Caffaro Industrie S.p.A. Ravecarb 102 - Viscosity Vs Temperature

Ravecarb and Elastomeric “PUR”

A urethane polymer is the reaction product of a high molecular weight polyol, a short difunctional chain extender, and an aliphatic or aromatic diisocyanate (here is no difference in the formulation technique between Ravecarb and polyols of different natire). It produces a (AB) type polymer composed of alternating hard and soft segment:

The soft segment is the high molecular weight polyol chain, and the hard segment is the reaction product of the chain extender and the diisocyanate. As the concentration of the hard segment increases, the modulus of the urethane increases, and the opposite when the soft segment increases. In addition, the nature of the hard segment can be modified by the choice of an appropriate crosslinker.
