Solvent and Chain Extenders
High purity 1,4-butanediol and supporting amine catalysts
What This Category Covers
Chain extenders and process chemicals adjust viscosity, reactivity and film formation. They are small line items on a bill of materials and a large share of the reasons a batch goes wrong.
Water content and purity in a chain extender show up directly as bubbles and soft spots in a cast elastomer. The grades here are supplied against stated purity, colour and water specifications.
