DDI (Dimer Acid Diisocyanate) — A Comprehensive Solution to Enhance the Durability of Electronic Components|High-Reliability Polyurethane Materials


1. What is DDI (Dimer Acid Diisocyanate)?

Dimer Acid Diisocyanate (DDI) is a non-yellowing diisocyanate modified with dimer acid segments. By introducing long-chain aliphatic structures, DDI significantly enhances polymer performance and is an ideal choice for polyurea coatings and various industrial formulations.
Unlike conventional TDI or MDI, DDI contains no aromatic structures that easily discolor. As a result, it provides superior stability under high temperature, humidity, and UV exposure.\

 


 


2. Why Is DDI Gaining Rapid Attention in the Electronics Industry?

In the electronics sector, system reliability is constantly challenged by moisture, chemical corrosion, thermal cycling, and mechanical stress. Material properties directly affect the service life of PCBs, sensors, module encapsulation, and other components.

Ruifeng Polymer’s DDI products have also gained strong market recognition. For complete product details, please refer to CAS: 68239-06-5 DDI.

Key advantages include:


2.1 Excellent Flexibility to Reduce Cracking and Thermal Stress Damage

The long-chain structure of DDI imparts low modulus and high flexibility to cured systems, effectively mitigating:
• Stress concentration from thermal expansion and contraction
• Cracks caused by thermal cycling
• Fatigue failure at PCB solder joints

It is particularly suitable as a core reactive component in PCB potting materials.


2.2 Outstanding Moisture and Heat Resistance for Harsh-Environment Electronics

DDI provides strong hydrophobicity, leading to:
• Extremely low water absorption
• High stability under 85°C/85% RH conditions
• Excellent retention of dielectric properties

It is ideal for outdoor electronics, automotive electronics, battery management systems, and industrial control systems that require high humidity-heat reliability.


2.3 Non-Aromatic Structure Ensures Anti-Yellowing and Long-Term Stability

Traditional MDI/TDI systems tend to yellow or degrade under UV or high temperature.
DDI’s aliphatic structure offers:
• Non-yellowing performance
• High environmental stability
• Excellent oxidation resistance

Suitable for transparent potting, optical components, and LED drivers where color stability is critical.


2.4 Stable Processing and a Wide Operating Window

DDI exhibits moderate reactivity and good compatibility with polyether polyols, polyester polyols, HTPB, and various other systems. Its characteristics include:
• Uniform and controllable curing
• Reduced foaming tendency
• High batch-to-batch consistency
• Adjustable curing speed for different processing needs

This is crucial for electronics manufacturers requiring stable supply and continuous mass production.
