Polycin® 53

Polycin® 53 is a 100% solids, multifunctional castor oil-based derivative designed for use as a polyol or reactive diluent in polyurethane systems. It will impart flexibility and improved pigment wetting into many polyurethane systems. Polycin® 53, as a reactive diluent, will allow for VOC reduction while imparting the beneficial properties of castor oil derivatives, such as improved flow and leveling.
