Triol Monomers for Coatings and Inks

Capa® 3091 by Ingevity is a polyester triol terminated by primary hydroxyl groups. It is recommended as a polyol for CASE (coatings, adhesives, sealants, and elastomers) applications, particularly for enhancing one-component (1K) and two-component (2K) coatings.

• It offers improved processing characteristics, reduces volatile organic compound (VOC) content, and enhances wetting properties.
• It improves appearance and lightfastness.
• When blended with other resins, the aliphatic backbones of Capa polymers support an increase in gloss and resistance to discoloration over time.
• Additionally, Capa® 3091 is compatible with various chemistries, including acrylics, polyethers, polyesters, polycarbonates, and epoxy systems.

Capa® 3050 by Ingevity is a low molecular weight polyester triol terminated by primary hydroxyl groups. It is suitable for producing polyurethane surface coatings, especially for clear, light-stable applications, and for coatings that require flexible and tough surface characteristics.

• It improves appearance and lightfastness in two component (2K) coatings.
• When blended with other resins, the aliphatic backbones of Capa polymers support an increase in gloss and resistance to discoloration over time.
• Capa® 3050 is suitable for high solid coatings where high cross-linking density are required.

VORANOL™ 415 by Dow is glycerin initiated polyether triol. Used in the production of polyurethane.

VORANOL™ 232-034N by Dow is polyether triol. It is acidified for enhanced prepolymer stability. Offers consistent processing and mechanical properties to the end product. Also allows for the adjustment of curing time. Used in the manufacture of storage-stable prepolymers for one- or two component coatings. VORANOL™ 232-034N is recommended for elastomeric roof coating applications.

VORANOL™ 230-042N by Dow is polyether triol. Offers enhanced prepolymer stability, consistent processing and mechanical properties to the end product. Also allows for the adjustment of curing time. VORANOL™ 230-042N is used in the manufacture of storage-stable prepolymers for one- and two-component coatings.

VORANOL™ 230-660 by Dow is a general purpose polyether triol. Possesses high reactivity, stiffness and high molecular weight. VORANOL™ 230-660 is suitable for coating and rigid elastomers. Can be combined with low equivalent weight TDI adducts to give medium firm elastomers. Used in combination with a diol to produce prepolymers for two-component formulations.
