Tru-Motion™ H3168

1 of 11 products in this brand
Tru-Motion™ H3168 is a 100% solids, aliphatic isocyanate based, moisture cure binder for use in construction of bonded rubber granule type running tracks, athletic and safety surfaces. Tru-Motion H3168 exhibits reactivity and cure rates similar to those of MDI-based binders, resulting in installation and handling characteristics typical of these systems. Tru-Motion™ H3168 exhibits excellent color fastness and exterior durability allowing the use of light-colored EPDM granules without the objectionable yellowing encountered when using MDI and TDI binders. In addition, Tru-Motion™ H3168 exhibits improved resistance to deterioration by water and pool chemicals, making it the surfacing material of choice in areas subject to water and chemical immersion.

Chemical Family: Aliphatics, Isocyanates, Polyurethanes (PU)

End Uses: Solventless & High Solids Coating

Features: Chemical Resistance, Good Color Fastness, Outdoor Durability, Water Resistance

Cure Method
Processing

Under normal conditions of installation, Tru-Motion H3168 binder for granular rubber athletic surface products provides excellent work life while achieving sufficient cure for secondary processing within normal construction cycles. Tru-Motion H3168 binder for granular rubber athletic surface products is designed to cure by reaction with atmospheric moisture. Cure rate is accelerated by high humidity and temperatures and retarded by low humidity and temperatures. Under conditions of high temperature and low humidity, water misting of the applied surfaces immediately after installation will prevent the Tru-Motion H3168 from draining off the granular rubber components. Tru-Motion H3168 as supplied has a work life suitable for use in safety surfaces under average conditions of temperature and humidity.

Caution : Any colored EPDM granule mixture used with Tru-Motion H3168 should be evaluated for color change and reactivity rate before installation. Bromine will discolor all installed PIP surfacing.
