Polyurethane Elastomers Based On Naphthalene-1,5-Diisocyanate (Desmodur® 15) For Demanding Mechanical And Dynamic Applications
Vulkollan® polyurethane in its primary form is a polyurethane elastomer based on naphthalene-1,5-diisocyanate (Desmodur® 15), polyester polyol and special chain extenders. Vulkollan is produced by hot casting, and is the ideal choice in all application areas that call for exceptionally high resistance to wear combined with a high mechanical and dynamic load-bearing capacity.
The raw materials used for Vulkollan are subject to tight specifications and stringent quality controls. All processors follow Bayer's guidelines for Vulkollan formulations and production processes. These are covered by a trademark agreement between Bayer and its customers and are essential for the production of consistently high-quality elastomers.
Vulkollan is used in numerous applications for its excellent mechanical and dynamic properties. In many cases, Vulkollan is used in applications where other elastic materials do no meet the requirements.
