K KAT - Non Tin Catalysts for Polyurethanes

K KAT - Non Tin Catalysts for Polyurethanes

K-KAT catalysts are metal compounds that are designed to accelerate the reaction of polyols with isocyanates. These catalysts are more environmentally acceptable than catalysts that contain tin or mercury.

K-KAT catalysts additionally offer a number of performance advantages, including:

1. Selectivity in the presence of moisture,less gassing

2. Improved pot life/cure time relationship

3. Mercury-like cure profile in elastomers

4. Less toxic than tin and mercury catalysts

5. Catalysis of secondary hydroxyl groups

6. Cold temperature cure response

Applications

K-KAT catalysts are used in a wide range of urethane applications including coatings, elastomers and in prepolymer synthesis.
