Isocyanate crosslinking agents for waterborne adhesives

Under the name Desmodur® D, Bayer offers solvent-free polyisocyanates for the crosslinking of waterborne adhesive dispersions.

Properties: The low reactivity of these crosslinking agents, which are based on aliphatic isocyanates, means that they can be used in aqueous polymer dispersions with a virtually neutral pH, including polyurethane, polyvinyl acetate, polyacrylate and synthetic rubber dispersions. Their effectiveness is retained for several hours. The heat resistance of bonds based on Dispercoll® U is significantly improved by crosslinking with Desmodur® D.

Uses: The Desmodur® D grades are used to exploit to the full the potential properties of heat-activatable adhesives based on Dispercoll® U. Such adhesives have proved successful in the automotive industry for the production of fittings for interior trim.

Advantages: The Desmodur® D grades
  • significantly raise the softening point of the adhesive film
  • improve solvent resistance and resistance to the migration of plasticizers, grease and oil
  • increase resistance to chemical degradation / hydrolysis
  • are based on aliphatic isocyanates and therefore do not impair the resistance of the adhesive to discoloration when exposed to light
