| 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. MILLATHANE® HT compounds need only three ingredients when curing with peroxide: MILLATHANE HT, stearic acid and peroxide. However, reinforcing fillers are necessary. Because without them, the tensile, elongation and tear properties of MILLATHANE HT compounds do not attain their maximum values. In comparison with sulfur cures, peroxide-cured compounds have superior compression set, faster cure times and better heat resistance. However, sulfur-cured compounds exhibit higher tensile and elongation characteristics. All information provided by TSE Industries |
