 CHARACTERISTICS OF DURATANE-LP1
1. Composite
DURATHANE-LP1 is a combination of: - VARO-BP as primer. - VARO-80R/H 1:1 dual component
polyurethane system.
2. Coverage
1.15Kg/m² at 1mm thickness.
3. Suitable for High-flex Applications
Under repeated flexing, DURATHANE-LP1 will not crack. DURATHANE-LP1 offers an important
advantage; it retains its strength and toughness regardless of section thickness.
4. Flexible At Low Temperatures
DURATHANE-LP1 has the property of remaining flexible when subjected to cold conditions to -35o C. As
well, DURATHANE-LP1 is resistant to thermal shock without cracking, or losing its bond.
5. Stable Up To 120oC
For temporary and some immersion applications, DURATHANE-LP1 is suitable for continuous use up to
about 90oC, although they can withstand temperatures as high as 120o C for short periods in certain
applications. This depends on the composition of the medium to which DURATHANE-LP1 is applied, and
the type of exposure to which it is subjected. A test piece should be sampled before full application.
6. Won’t Sweat or Deteriorate In Water
DURATHANE-LP1 remains stable, even when immersed in water as warm as 50oC for very long periods,
but is not recommended for continuous use in water hotter than 70oC. DURATHANE-LP1 absorbs
practically no water – barely 0.3% to 1.6% by weight and shows negligible swell in volume, even after
prolonged immersion.
7. Electrical Properties
VARO-80R/H is an excellent insulator. It can be used extensively in electronic equipment rooms.
8. Resistant To Oil, Grease, and Chemicals
While rubbers and plastics show excellent resistance to resistance to certain solvents, oils and chemicals,
DURATHANE-LP1 will resist a much wider range of substances. DURATHANE-LP1 is more suitable for
floors that will come in contact with a number of different substances. As with any material, we recommend
that DURATHANE-LP1 be tested for the specific resistance in actual use, or at least in a test that simulates
the intended actual use as closely as possible.
9. Radiation Resistant
Of all elastomers, polyurethane’s are considered to have the best resistance to gamma ray radiation. After
exposure, DURATHANE-LP1 retains virtually all of their original flexibility and toughness.
10. Bonds to Wood, Metals, Concrete and Most Plastics
During the pouring process, and under controlled conditions, DURATHANE-LP1 can be bonded to a wide
variety of materials. Bond strengths on wood, metal and plastic substrate are often stronger than the
substrate itself, and are usually several times stronger than a similar rubber-to-substrate bond. Special
techniques have also been developed to achieve maximum bond strength to various substrate materials. You
may call us for further information.
11. Noise Reduction Capacity
DURATHANE-LP1 is ideal for sound-deadening and anti-vibration applications. Depending on its
thickness, DURATHANE-LP1 will substantially reduce noise and vibration because of its flexibility and
extreme resilience.
12. Colors
DURATHANE-LP1 polyurethane is available in all RAL colors and optional custom colors.
