Carbodiide Crosslinkers for Waterborne Resins

CARBODILITE Waterborne crosslinking agents are waterborne polycarbodiimide resin which

contains carbodiimide group [-N=C=N-] with hydrophilic segments. CARBODILITE Waterborne
crosslinking agents are low-toxic, highly reactive crosslinking agents that react with carboxy group.
They can be cured at room temperature or higher if faster reaction is desired.

Characteristics

o) Crosslinking agent for Waterborne Resins*, paints, inks, adhesives and coatings
o) High safety and the use of environmentally friendly technology
(1) Non or Low Toxic & Safety (Non or Low skin irritant, Negative: Ames test)
(2) Environmentally Friendly (VOC free)
(3) Great Reactivity with Carboxylic Acid
(4) Long Pot-Life
(5) Easy of use (No premix, etc.)
(6) Adhesion improvement
(7) Excellent anti-hydrolysis property
*Compatible to waterborne acrylic resins, acrylic emulsions, polyurethane dispersions, water
dispersed polyester, etc.
