Desmodur E21: Aromatic Polyisocyanate

Product Information
DESMODUR E 21
Aromatic Polyisocyanate
Description
Desmodur E 21 is an aromatic polyisocyanate

prepolymer based on diphenylmethane diisocyanate
(MDI). It is a solvent-free liquid of medium viscosity.
Application
Desmodur E 21 is suitable for use in the formulation

of moisture-curing, one-component systems which,
when thinned with a suitable solvent, can be used as
primers and sealers for porous substrates to provide
protection against moisture, oil, fuel and other chemicals.
It can also be used as a binder in the formulation of
synthetic resin mortars. In combination with suitable
Desmophen polyols, Desmodur E 21 yields tough
but flexible, wear-resistant coatings and sealers.
Desmodur E 21 is also suitable for use in the formulation of solvent-free, moisture-curing one-component adhesives or in combination with Baycoll to
formulate two-component adhesives. These can be
used to bond many materials such as wood, metal and
plastic. As with any product, use of Desmodur E 21
in a given application must be tested (including but
not limited to field testing) in advance by the user to
determine suitability.

Solubility
In general, Desmodur E 21 has good compatibility

with ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, 1-methoxy propylacetate-2, xylene, Shellsol A and Solvesso 100.
However, the solutions formed must be tested for
their storage stability. Prolonged storage of a solution with low binder content may result in turbidity
and sedimentation. Only PU grade solvents should
be used (<0.05% water). The solvent should not
contain reactive groups.
Compatibility
In general, Desmodur E 21 is compatible with

Desmophen/Baycoll polyols, and with other
Desmodur products and with flexibilizers.
These items are provided as general information only. They are approximate values and are not part of the product specifications.
