“…36 TCP-blocked TDI-BPUMs were initially de-blocked at about 75 C, and the range of de-blocking temperature was about 70-120 C, and HDI-BPUMs could be initially de-blocked at about 80 C and the de-blocking temperature range was about 80-125 C, which were lower than those of other blocking agents of blocked diisocyanate adducts (110-145 C). 8,37 Moreover, it was found that the low initial deblocking temperatures of the blocked isocyanate series TR1, TR3, TR4, TD1 and TD3 were due to the presence of aromatic ring in the structures and the high initial de-blocking temperature of the blocked isocyanate series HR1, HR3, HR5, HD1 and HD3 were due to the use of aliphatic isocyanates. Among the isocyanate used, TDI based blocked isocyanate undergo deblocking at lowest temperature and are due to the methyl group present in the isocyanate moiety, which accelerates the deblocking reaction, through steric factor.…”
