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.

Millathane® UV is an ultra-violet curable millable polyurethane compound typically used with Millathane® 97, but other Grades can be used as well. Millable polyurethane extrusions can be continuously cured and products molded using UV light without the use of ovens, microwaves or salt bath units. (Patent Pending) These curable compounds can be extruded or calendered onto fabric or as an unsupported sheet and then continuously cured by passing them through a UV-curing conveyor belt chamber. Molded parts can be press-cured using special transparent molds to allow curing with UV light, or can be cured in a UV chamber. Time of irradiation varies with the nature and type of material, the type and concentration of other ingredients, and the type and power of the light source. They are great for extruding hollow tubing and other continuous shapes, such as bars, rods, L-channels, U-channels, square tubing, and the like. It’s great for extruded protective covering over all types of cables, hoses, and protective conduit.

Millathane® 26 is often used in non-food handling applications, including rollers, because of its hydrolysis resistance and good strength properties. The inherent hydrolysis resistance of polyether urethanes makes it more forgiving in steam autoclave cure processes than polyester grades.
