Polycin® T-400

Polycin® T-400 is a solventless, castor oil-based derivative designed for use as a polyol or viscosity modifier in polyurethane coating systems. Polycin® T-400 will impart higher hardness and strength, and as a reactive diluent, Polycin® T-400 provides VOC reduction along with the beneficial properties of castor oil derivatives, such as improved hydrophobicity, flow and levelling.
