What is 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)
     

Features of 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

Specifications

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
