Dipropylene Glycol Dibenzoate (DPGDB),Ecod-flex 342 offers several advantages when used in polyurethane floorings. Polyurethane floorings are known for their durability, chemical resistance, and versatility, and DPGDB contributes to these characteristics in various ways. Here are some advantages:
- Plasticizing Properties:DPGDB serves as a plasticizer, enhancing the flexibility and elasticity of polyurethane formulations. This is crucial for polyurethane floorings, as it allows them to withstand bending, stretching, and impact without cracking or breaking.
- Low Volatility:DPGDB has low volatility, the VOC content of Ecod-flex 342 is ＜0.1%, which means it contributes to the stability and durability of the polyurethane flooring over time. Low volatility helps in maintaining the integrity of the flooring, reducing the risk of shrinkage or deterioration.
- Improved Flow and Wetting:As a plasticizer, DPGDB improves the flow and wetting properties of polyurethane formulations. This is particularly important during the application process, ensuring a smooth and even coating on the flooring surface.
- Enhanced Adhesion:DPGDB can contribute to improved adhesion of the polyurethane coating to the substrate. This is essential for creating a strong bond between the flooring material and the underlying surface, enhancing the overall performance and longevity of the flooring system.
- Resistance to Chemicals and Solvents:Polyurethane floorings often need to resist exposure to various chemicals and solvents. DPGDB can enhance the chemical resistance of the polyurethane formulation, making the flooring more resilient to damage caused by substances like oils, acids, and cleaning agents.
- Reduced Temperature Sensitivity:DPGDB can help reduce the temperature sensitivity of polyurethane formulations. This is beneficial for polyurethane floorings that may be subjected to temperature variations, as it helps maintain the flexibility and performance of the material across a range of temperatures.
- Enhanced UV Stability:UV stability is essential for polyurethane floorings exposed to sunlight. DPGDB can contribute to the UV stability of the polyurethane formulation, reducing the risk of color fading, discoloration, or degradation when exposed to sunlight.
- Customizable Formulations:DPGDB provides formulators with the flexibility to customize polyurethane formulations to meet specific performance requirements. This versatility allows for the development of polyurethane floorings with tailored properties suited to the intended application and environment.
It's important to note that the effectiveness of DPGDB in polyurethane floorings depends on the specific formulation and application requirements. Additionally, adherence to safety, regulatory, and environmental considerations is crucial when using any chemical additive in industrial applications.
