Structure:
Formula : C21H30N2
Description:
UNILINK 4200 is a unique aromatic diamine as a chain extender for polyurethane elastomers. As a 2-functional diamine, UNILINK 4200 builds linear polymer networks, allowing the polyurethane formulator to control the degree of cross-linking by the addition of higher functional polyols.
The reactivity of UNILINK 4200 diamine is much lower than other aromatic amines and this low reactivity allows UNILINK 4200 diamine to be used as an effective curing agent in both TDI and MDI formulations. Polymers cured with UNILINK 4200 diamine generally exhibit longer pot lives and lower hardness with improved strength, adhesion, impact resistance and low temperature properties.
Polyurethane foam systems also benefit from the use of UNILINK 4200 diamine. TDI and MDI-based slabstock and moulded flexible foams can show improved strength and load-bearing properties often at significantly lower foam densities while PUR and PIR rigid foam formulations demonstrate improved dimensional stability, flow and adhesion. The use of UNILINK 4200 diamine in rigid and flexible foam systems has little effect on reaction kinetics or foam rise.
