Thanecure® T9 SuperFine

1 of 2 products in this brand
Thanecure® T9 Superfine is the dimer of 2,4-toluene diisocyanate (TDI). It is a polyfunctional isocyanate used as a vulcanizing agent for specialty millable polyurethane rubbers, as a crosslinker for adhesives and as an adhesion promoter for rubber-to-fabric bonding.

Chemical Name: Tolylene diisocyanate

Functions: Adhesion Promoter

Compatible Polymers & Resins: Polyesters, Polyurethanes (PU), Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC)

Functionality
  • Under mild reaction conditions, i.e. at up to approx 130°C in the absence of basic catalysts, it is primarily bifunctional, with a molecular weight of 348.
  • Under more severe conditions (either at temperatures above 140/150°C or with the aid of highly basic catalysts at temperatures above 90°C) it remains primarily
    bifunctional but with a molecular weight of 174, as the central uretdione group splits to form monomeric TDI.

Features & Benefits

Applications & Uses

Product Applications
  • Adhesion promoter for rubber-to-fabric bonding (polyester, aramid, polyamide). Applications include tire cord, conveyor belts, drive belts, hose, coated fabrics.
  • Adhesion promoter for PVC-to-fabric bonding (polyester, aramid, polyamide). Applications include coated fabrics, conveyor belts.
  • Vulcanizing agent for polyurethane rubbers like Millathane® 26, particularly when a high hardness is desired. Applications include industrial molded parts, rollers, ceramic tile molds.
  • Crosslinker for heat-activated adhesion, coating or elastomer systems.

Abrasion Resistance
  • Abrasion resistance is the ability of a surface to resist wearing due to contact with another surface moving with respect to it.
  • High resistance to abrasion is important in applications like rollers, belting, and helicopter dust covers.
  • The DIN Abrasion Test (ASTM D5963) is one of the most common tests for measuring abrasion resistance.
  • It's where a rotating cylindrical sample is passed across a rotating drum of abrasive and the amount of sample volume lost is measured.
  • Typical abrasion resistance values for Millathane millable urethane compounds is 50-80 mm³.
  • Some compounds can have abrasion resistance values as low as 25 mm³, depending on the polymer, cure system, and formulation.
  • Polyurethane rubber provides the highest abrasion resistance of any rubber, synthetic or natural.
  • Laboratory tests do not always predict the advantage of Millathane compounds over other rubbers, but field experience often shows a tremendous improvement in product lifetime when millable urethane replaces conventional rubber.
