Solubility / thinnability

Desmodur® ultra N3300 can be thinned with esters, ketones and aromatichydrocarbons such as ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, methoxypropylacetate,acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, methyl isobutyl ketone, cyclohexanone, toluene,xylene, solvent naphtha® 100 and mixtures thereof.Generally speaking, it has good compatibility with the solvents listed. However, the solutions formed must be tested for their storage stability. Only PU grade solvents should be used (max. 0.05 % water, absence of reactive groups such as hydroxyl or amino groups). Aliphatic hydrocarbons are unsuitable as solvents. Desmodur® ultra N3300 should not be thinned to below a solids content of 40 %. Prolonged storage of a solution with a lower binder content may result in turbidity and sedimentation.

Application

Desmodur® ultra N3300 is used primarily as the hardener component for lightfast two-component polyurethane coatings with high resistance to chemicals and weathering, very good gloss retention and outstandingmechanical properties. Preferred co-reactants are polyacrylate or polyester polyols.The main applications for systems based on Desmodur® ultra N3300 are air- and force-drying coatings for automotive OEM, automotive refinishing, transportation, industrial finishing and plastics.
