Product Definition and Characteristics

Isocyanate Prepolymer

An isocyanate prepolymer is a specific type of polyurethane prepolymer characterized by the reaction of all polyol hydroxyl end groups with isocyanate groups. This process results in a compound where isocyanate functionality is located at the termini rather than hydroxyls.

Aliphatic Isocyanate Prepolymer

Aliphatic isocyanate prepolymer is a polyurethane elastomer known for being color-fast and UV-resistant. Isocyanates are generally categorized into two groups based on the presence of a benzene ring:

• Aromatic Isocyanates: Contain a benzene ring structure.
• Aliphatic Isocyanates: Characterized by an NCO group that is not directly attached to an aromatic ring. These produce polyurethane systems that are UV stable, colorless, and transparent.
