Carbodilite

  • Waterbone polycarbodiimide resin which contains carbodiimide [ - N=C=N - ] group with hydrophilic segments

  • Very safe for use and environment friendly crosslinker (Applicable for VOC regulatory compliance products)

  • Wide range of products (Customers can choose the most suitable ones)

What is Carbodilite?

  • Green (Safe and environmentally friendly)

  • Long pot-life

  • Good reactivity with carboxylic acid

  • Reactive at room temperature

  • Promotes adhesion

  • Remains flexibility

  • Easy to disperse

  • Anti-hydrolysis (for resins containing ester bond)

Reaction of Carbodilite

Carbodiimide groups in CARBODILITE react with carboxylic acids in a base resin (polymer) which forms 3-dimensional networks. This 3-dimensional network structures improve water resistance and solvent resistance property.

Applicable resins

  • PUD (Polyurethane dispersion)

  • Acrylic emulsion

  • Carboxylic acid-modified resins (SBR, NBR latex, etc)

  • Water-dispersible polyester

Specification

Usage direction

  • Suggested dosage level (CARBODILITE solid) ⇒ ca. 3~7% by total formula

  • For faster reaction: Increase curing temperature

  • For extending pot-life: Increase pH with neutralizer (ammonia, amine )

*Crosslinking reaction does not progress with neutralizer of hydroxide metal

*Pot life may not be extended in case compound contains glycol-based solvents
