PolycarbodiimidesPolycarbodiimides (CDI) selectively react with carboxylic acid (-COOH) groups in polymer chains. This type of crosslinking reaction results in a classic 3D polymer-crosslinker network. Compared to polyisocyanates, polycarbodiimides are much less sensitive to the presence of water and able to achieve long pot-life times. Due to the high reactivity, curing with CDI type crosslinkers can be done under typical oven conditions used for drying of … Continue reading Polycarbodiimides as classification-free and easy to use crosslinkers for water-based coatings
