Isocyanates
Blocked isocyanate refers to a compound prepared by blocking a blocked group of isocyanate groups (-NCO) by a deblocking reaction that cannot be carried out at a lower temperature. This compound does not undergo polymerization at room temperature, but at a certain temperature and other conditions, the isocyanate groups in the blocked polyurethane can be regenerated, and a crosslinking reaction occurs to form a thermosetting polyurethane. The isocyanate group is blocked by reacting an isocyanate or a prepolymer containing a free isocyanate group with some active hydrogen-containing substance or a substance capable of reacting with an isocyanate group, so that the free isocyanate group is not reactive at normal temperature, that is, isocyanate is achieved. The base is closed. This blocking reaction is a reversible reaction under certain conditions, so that the blocked isocyanate group can function again.
