| MILLATHANE HT is a polyester millable polyurethane which has the ability to withstand elevated temperatures. Polyurethanes have been known for their excellent resistance to abrasion, impact, tear strength, oil and fuel resistance, and ozone resistance. The life expectancy of urethane is often 5 times longer than other elastomers, thus saving material costs and downtime expense. One shortcoming of polyurethanes is loss of physical properties at temperatures over 180°F (82°C). MILLATHANE HT has overcome this weakness. Zinc stearate, when used as a co-activator with THANECURE® ZM, permits shorter cure times with improved compression set properties. Zinc stearate does contribute some lubricity to the batch and helps prevent sticking to mill rolls and surfaces of internal mixers, however its primary use is to help activate the cure and produce a tighter cure.
