CHEMTURA LAUNCHES NEW ADIPRENE® K ONE-COMPONENT URETHANE SYSTEMS

Chemtura Corporation (NYSE: CEM), a world leader in urethanes, will feature its much-anticipated Adiprene® K one-component, urethane systems to the European market at K2007 in Düsseldorf October 24 – 31, where Chemtura will exhibit at booth C07, Hall 6.

Adiprene® K One–Component Urethanes offer a host of time/cost-saving benefits:

• No weighing or mixing

• Eliminate most capital equipment for mixing and metering

• Less scrap from weighing and mixing errors

• Reduced exposure to isocyanates and amine curatives

• Virtually unlimited potlife, allowing very large or intricate pours

• Quick demolding times, for improved productivity in small and/or thin parts

The new Adiprene® K family of one-component urethane systems can provide processing advantages for applications ranging from abrasion-resistant elastomeric coatings to large, higher-hardness components. This versatility offers new levels of consistency and speed, opening up a whole new universe of possibilities for urethanes customers.

Adiprene® K is made possible by a unique blocked curative composed of a methylene dianiline-NaCl (MDA3-NaCl) complex.

“Historically, MDA3-NaCl has been utilized with conventional prepolymers for thin articles and remains a valuable tool for these applications,” reports Chemtura Commercial Development Manager, Chris Maupin. “However, recent developments with low free monomer prepolymers and the blocked curative provide a foundation for developing new urethane product opportunities.”

Customers seeking data sheets on the Adiprene® K family should visit Chemtura at K2007, Hall 6, C07 or e-mail Christopher.Maupin@Chemtura.com.
