Product Description
Andur 6 APLM is a polycaprolactone based, toluene diisocyanate terminated prepolymer. This high-performance system yields an elastomer with a hardness of about 60 Shore A when this prepolymer is cured with Curene 442 [4,4'-ethylenebis (orthochloroaniline)]. This system avoids this use of mixed curatives or plasticizers which are usually required to achieve hardnesses in this range, thereby, resulting in ultra high-performance properties.
