Description

Bis(2,6-Diisopropylphenyl)Carbodiimide is a sterically hindered organic compound widely used as a hydrolytic stabilizer and coupling agent. Its primary value lies in its ability to efficiently scavenge water and carboxylic acids, thereby preventing degradation in sensitive polymer systems and formulations. This makes it a critical additive for manufacturers in the polyurethane, polyester, and specialty coatings industries who require enhanced long-term stability and performance from their products.

Application

• Polymer Stabilization: Primary hydrolytic stabilizer for polyester polyols, thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPU), and polycarbonate polyols to prevent molecular weight degradation.
• Polyurethane Systems: Protects prepolymers and final elastomers, foams, and adhesives from moisture-induced deterioration during processing and in-service life.
• Coatings & Resins: Enhances the durability and shelf-life of moisture-sensitive coating resins, powder coatings, and epoxy systems.
• Plastic Additive: Used as an anti-hydrolysis agent in engineering plastics like PET, PBT, and nylon to maintain mechanical properties.
• Chemical Intermediate: Serves as a reagent in organic synthesis for the preparation of ureas, guanidines, and other nitrogen-containing compounds.
• Adhesive Formulations: Improves the stability and pot-life of moisture-curing polyurethane and silicone adhesive systems.

Quality Control

Our Bis(2,6-Diisopropylphenyl)Carbodiimide is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets high-purity standards and consistent performance as a stabilizer. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and key physical parameters is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after initial opening to prevent contact with atmospheric moisture.
