text: A number of blocking agents maybe employed but a common one is Methylethyl ketone oxime (MEKO). Caprolactam is also used.
  When blocked, there is no isocyanate (NCO) functionality, so it is much easier to disperse the species in water if the desire is to produce waterborne resins. One of the key reasons different blocking agents are used apart from chemical properties is that they unblock at different temperatures. MEKO has a fairly low unblocking temperature and is thus in fairly common usage. A mixture of blocking agents maybe used to optimize properties.
