Polyether diol Curative

VIBRACURE A 120

PRODUCT DATA

VIBRACURE A 120 is a high molecular weight polyether diol which can be

used to cure polyurethane prepolymers. It is especially useful when blended
with other curatives in various proportions to obtain a range of hardnesses
from a single MDI prepolymer. With polyether TDI prepolymers MBCA/A
120 blends result in softer urethanes without the use of plasticizer. The
vulcanizates are characterized by:
Good tear
Variable resilience
Good abrasion resistance

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
As received the curative is a white, waxy solid. For processing, containers of curative have to be
placed in a 158F oven until the contents are melted. Roll the pail or drum to insure that the material
is uniform. Liquid A 120 has the following viscosity at various temperatures:
