Arconate 1000 Propylene carbonate 108-32-7 Lyondell Solvents PU - Isocyanates PU - Prepolymers ADHESIVE An amber-colored polar solvent having high boiling and flash points, a low order of toxicity and a mild ether-like odor. It is stable under most conditions and is not hygroscopic or corrosive. ARCONATE 1000 is particularly well suited for applications not requiring water white color and where some trace impurities are acceptable. ARCONATE 1000 is a cyclic carbonate that reacts with amines to form carbamates, undergoes hydroxy alkylation and transesterification. It can be used as an isocyanate and unsaturated polyester resin cleanup solvent, viscosity reducer in coatings, CO2 extraction solvent, foundry binder catalyst, and textile dye carrier and cleaner. ARCONATE Propylene Carbonate is a polar solvent with a high boiling point, low order of toxicity, and a broad range of applications. Lyondell is the sole manufacturer of two grades of Propylene Carbonate, ARCONATE® 1000 and ARCONATE® HP (high purity). These two grades allow ARCONATE® Propylene Carbonate to meet a range of custom purity needs. ARCONATE PC is stable under most conditions, is neither hygroscopic nor corrosive, and offers several benefits over many other cleanup solvents in the marketplace. ARCONATE PC is compatible with isocyanates and is used as a reactive diluent to reduce cost and to improve handling and processing properties in applications such as isocyanate (PMDI) wood binders / adhesives and urethane coatings / elastomers / adhesives. A more recently discovered application for propylene carbonate is in rechargeable lithium batteries. Eighty percent of a rechargeable lithium battery is a filler, which is propylene carbonate. ARCONATE PC also has numerous applications in the textile and synthetic fiber industries which utilize it's outstanding solvency and reactivity. Cyclic carbonate. Used as a reactive diluent to reduce cost and to improve handling and processing properties in applications such as isocyanate (PMDI) adhesives and urethane adhesives. Reacts with amines to form carbamates. Undergoes hydroxy alkylation and transesterification. Offers high boiling point and flash point, low order of toxicity.
