Definition of Polyurea by the

Polyurea Development Association (PDA), 2000

 A pure polyurea coating/ elastomer is derived from the reaction product of an isocy-
anate component and a resin blend component such as amine-terminated polymer

of an amine-terminated polymer resin, or a hydroxyl-terminated polymer resin. 
of the Polyurea Develop-
ment Association Europe The resin blend must be made up of amine-terminated polymer resins, and/or amine-
terminated chain extenders. The amine-terminated polymer resins will not have any
intentional hydroxyl moieties. Any hydroxyls are the result of incomplete conversion to the
amine-treminated polymer resins. The resin blend may also contain additives or non-
primary components. These additives may contain hydroxyls, such as pre-dispersed
pigments in a polyol carrier. Normally, the resin blend will not contain a catalyst.

Polyurea Technology 

Polyurea is an elastomer made from two reactive components

ingredients for the B-component.
■  Isocyanate prepolymers (MDI- ■   Amines (polyetheramines)
  based for aromatic systems,
■   Amine chain extenders

Baxxodur™ PC 136 Polyetheramines  Additives

Baxxodur™ PC 136 is a new cycloaliphatic
secondary amine used as a chain
extender to modify the reactivity of the
polyurea system. It is applied mostly
in conjunction with polyetheramines
and thus an essential part of the curing
system (B-component).
Benefits
■  Faster film property development
and green strength than with existing
aliphatic compounds (comparable
to aromatic amines)
 ■  Excellent UV and color stability of
the film
 ■  Easy to formulate with various
amine systems
 Among the polyetheramines used as Other additives can be part of the curing
curing agents Polyetheramine D 2000 is by system when specific properties are
far the most commonly applied product. requested. Those can be pigments
 Addition of Polyetheramine D 230 and for colored films, flame retardants or
D 400 leads to higher reactivity of the processing auxiliaries as defoaming or
curing system and also to harder films. deaerating agents that help to avoid
or remove entrapped gas bubbles.
If very high hardness is desired the tri-
functional Polyetheramine T 403 provides
for a stronger crosslinking. With the very
long-chain Polyetheramine T 5000 as part
of the curing system very flexible and
elastic films are obtained.
In addition to high flexibility the Polytetra-
hydrofuranamine 1700 leads to reduced
moisture uptake and swelling as well as
to improved abrasion resistance.

 ■  Slows down gel time allowing for

better adhesion, flow and leveling

 ■ Maintains better film stability at

elevated temperatures

 Applications

 ■  Light-stable OEM polyurea

elastomeric coatings

 ■  Light-stable polyurethane coatings

 ■  Light-stable top coats

 ■  Rapid-curing gel coats with easy

demolding
