Polycat 12 catalyst CAS10144-28-9 Evonik Germany

Overview

Polycat 12 is a tertiary amine catalyst for the production of polyurethane foam. It is a clear, colorless liquid with a mild odor. Polycat 12 is a strong catalyst that can be used to produce foams with a variety of properties. It is also a low-odor catalyst, which makes it ideal for applications that require attention to odor emissions.

Similarities and differences with similar products

Polycat 12 is similar to other tertiary amine catalysts, such as Polycat 33 and Polycat 8. However, Polycat 12 is a weaker catalyst than Polycat 33 and Polycat 8. This means that foam curing takes longer when Polycat 12 is used. Polycat 12 is also less effective at producing high-density foam. However, Polycat 12 is less corrosive to metals than Polycat 33 and Polycat 8.

Overall, Polycat 12 is ideal for applications that require low-odor catalysts and do not require fast curing times.
