Merginol 901 is applicable in casting resins, 2-part coatings, sealants, primers and many other areas. To lower the viscosity and to improve the flow ability Merginol 901 can be used in polyurethane formulations with nonreactive diluents, e.g. Merginol 1100 (in amounts between two and ten percent). It is also possible to combine Merginol 901 with reactive polyols that increase flexibility like Merginol 903 or Merginol 207. In combination with aliphatic isocyanates it can be integrated into UV-stable coatings. Merginol 901 is especially hydrophobic and chemically resistant when curing with isocyanates.

Storage & Handling
- Storage
Sealed Merginol 901 is at least 12 months storable at 18 - 25°C. Below 15°C a partially crystallization is possible. Heating up to 40°C will dissolve the crystallization. Below 20°C clouding is possible which will disappear above this temperature.
