What it is and why choose it
BOSTIK HARDENER TRANSPRENE 113 M1 800 ML is a professional hardener based on the DESMODUR RFE system. It is supplied as a liquid mixture containing ethyl acetate and is reserved for industrial and professional use. Designed to act as a hardener, it improves the performance of compatible adhesive and coating systems when used according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Its formulation is highly flammable and classified as a specific target organ toxicant (single exposure, Category 3), which means it may cause drowsiness or dizziness. For this reason, it is intended only for controlled environments where correct ventilation and personal protection measures are in place.
Main features
- Professional hardener: Recommended use as a hardener in industrial and professional applications.
- High flammability: Classified as a highly flammable liquid and vapour (Flam. Liq. 2, H225); can form flammable or explosive vapour–air mixtures during use.
- Solvent-based system: Contains 40–<80% ethyl acetate and >25–<40% phenol, 4-isocyanato-, phosphorothioate (3:1) ester, plus a small amount of chlorobenzene.
- Health hazard: May cause drowsiness or dizziness (H336). Repeated exposure may cause skin dryness or cracking (EUH066). Contains isocyanates and may produce an allergic reaction (EUH204).
- Liquid, ready to mix: Light yellow to brown liquid with an ester odour, supplied ready for incorporation into compatible systems.
- Reserved for non-consumer use: Use by trained operators only; consumer use is explicitly advised against.

Section 8 – Individual protection measures
According to the safety data sheet, the following exposure controls and personal protective equipment (PPE) are recommended for professional users:
Engineering controls
- Ensure adequate general and, where necessary, local exhaust ventilation, especially in confined areas.
- Extract vapours and aerosols directly at the point of origin.
Eye and face protection
- Tight sealing safety goggles.
- Face protection shield when there is a risk of splashing.
Hand protection
- Wear suitable protective gloves.
- Breakthrough time depends on glove material, thickness and temperature.
Skin and body protection
- Antistatic footwear.
- Fire/flame resistant or flame-retardant clothing.
- Additional protective clothing as appropriate to the task.
Respiratory protection
- In case of inadequate ventilation, wear suitable respiratory protection.
- In case of exposure to mist, spray or aerosol, use appropriate respiratory protection and protective suit.
- Recommended filter type: filter for organic gases and vapours in accordance with EN 14387.
Environmental exposure controls
- Do not allow the product to enter drains, soil or any body of water.
