Polyurea spray railcar lining systems

摘要

Spray polyurea elastomer systems have improved adhesion to a substrate with the incorporation of a functional alkoxy silane and water. Such systems typically also include a quasi-prepolymer of an isocyanate and an active hydrogen-containing material, and at least one amine resin, and preferably an amine-terminated chain extender. The system may also benefit from the incorporation of a higher than usual proportion of 2,4'-isomer methylene diisocyanate (MDI). The viscosity of the various components, as well as various processing characteristics, may be improved by the addition of an alkylene carbonate. The spray polyurea elastomer systems of this invention also have improved abrasion and impact resistance.
