Anderson Development Company Develops New Urethane Product: Andur 73 DPLF (FDA)

By admin | Published November 25, 2013

Andur | approvable dry food contact statusAndur 73 DPLF (FDA) is a prepolymer intended for parts that need to have approvable dry food contact status.  It is a low free TDI PTMEG-based material.

It can be cured with any typical diamine curative such as Curene 442 (MBOCA) or Curene 107, but it’s primarily intended to be cured with Versalink® 740M.  The Versalink® 740M is a diamine that is approved for dry food contact in a urethane formulation and yields a durometer similar to MBOCA in many cases.

The 73 DPLF (FDA) was specifically designed to provide excellent green strength and dimensional stability at demold time with the Versalink® 740M.  The prepolymer has a low viscosity, 8.4%-8.8% NCO range, less than 0.1%  free TDI and results in a 70-75 Shore D elastomer when cast with Versalink® 740M or Curene 442 .

A technical datasheet is available upon request.

Versalink® is a registered trademark of Air Products and Chemicals, Inc.

Anderson Development Company: What Does Development Really Mean?

By admin | Published May 29, 2013

Specialty Chemical ManufacturersAnderson Development Company (ADC) was founded over forty years ago, as a research and development company, with a focus on the development of new products.  Through years of innovative R&D, ADC has developed a solid line of specialty and custom chemicals created to improve everyday living, as well as decrease environmental impact.  Three of ADC’s top specialty chemicals include Acrylic Resins (Almatex), Polyurethanes (Andur), and Boron Compounds (Almabor).

Acrylic Resins

Acrylic Resins are primarily used in powder coating applications for metals.  Powder coating creates a very hard finish that is more durable than traditional paint, which is why it is used primarily for parts in the automotive industry.  Powder coatings can also be found on outdoor furniture, lawn and garden equipment, household appliances and architectural applications.  GMA (Glycidyl Methacrylate) acrylics are used in products which require weather durability, gloss, crystal clarity, chemical resistance, and smoothness.  Browse Acrylic Resins.

Polyurethanes

ADC’s Polyurethane product line serves a variety of applications as well.  Polyurethane is very versatile, being soft like rubber, as well as very rigid like plastic.  Polyurethanes are used for industrial wheels and rollers, as well as for roller skate wheels, and other recreational items.  They are also used in oilfield parts and mining.  Browse Polyurethanes.

Boron Compounds

Another of ADC’s products, boron compounds, is just as unique and versatile.  Many of ADC’s boron compounds are used in highly specialized industries, such as electronic chip manufacturing, chemical intermediates, catalysts, fuel and lubricant additives, and liquid crystal manufacturing.  Another key usage of boron compounds is in pharmaceuticals, including drugs used to fight cancer.

Many of ADC’s high purity specialty borate esters such as triisopropyl borate (TiPB), triethyl borate (TEB), tri-n-butyl borate (TnBB), can be used for manufacturing organoboronic acids and esters. TIPB is also used in reducing agent synthesis and in adhesion promotion. TEB also used in electronic applications. Organotrifluoroborates have been utilized not only in a wide range of transition metal catalyzed reactions, for example Suzuki coupling, but also in other synthetically useful transformations.  Browse Boron Compounds.

What “Development” Means

ADC is committed to the development, and continual improvement, of diverse and widely used specialty chemicals.  ADC constantly explores new applications of existing products as well.  To this company, the term “Development” means constant improvement and innovation in the field of chemical manufacturing, with respect for the environment.  That’s what Anderson Development Company stands for.
