Overview:
Niax Catalyst A-30 additive is a liquid, water-soluble tertiary amine catalyst that promotes the efficient reaction of water with isocyanates in the production of flexible polyester polyurethane foams.
Niax Catalyst A-30 Polyurethane Foaming Catalyst
Niax Catalyst A-30 is a liquid, low odor, water-soluble tertiary amine specifically designed to be used in the production of flexible polyester polyurethane foams.
Foams made with Niax Catalyst A-30 exhibit significantly lower odor than those made with conventional ester foam catalysts with strong odor, such as N-methylmorpholine, N-ethylmorpholine or dimethylbenzylamine.
Niax Catalyst A-30 active catalysts allow the use of much lower grades than NEM, NMM or dimethylbenzylamine.
Although Niax catalyst A-30 primarily catalyzes the water isocyanate reaction, it also has the ability to react against gelation.
Therefore it is recommended to reduce the gelation content of the catalyst with N-ethylmorpholine.

Storage and transportation
When transporting Catalyst, it should be strictly protected from rain and staining, carefully and gently stored to prevent leakage from collision with hard objects. When storing Catalyst, it should be stored at room temperature in a ventilated and dry warehouse, avoiding humid environment, and the storage temperature should be kept below 25℃, avoiding sunlight as much as possible, and away from water and heat sources. To prevent moisture absorption and oxidation, it is recommended to fill the container with nitrogen.
Shelf life
Under proper storage conditions, the shelf life is 6 months from the date of manufacture, after which the product can be used after retesting.
Safety Information
Catalyst is somewhat toxic and should be rinsed with soapy water promptly after contact with skin. Staff can wear eye protection or safety glasses for the purpose of eye protection. Eye wash and drenching equipment should be provided near the workplace. When working in places where contact with the product is possible, attention should be paid to personal hygiene and the skin in contact with the product should be washed with washing products before eating, smoking and leaving the workplace.
Leak handling
Stop spills as much as possible while ensuring safety. If a minor spill is found, treat it with sand or other absorbent material and place it in a clean, dry container for subsequent disposal. If a large spill occurs, the spilled material should be collected for subsequent disposal. Avoid entering groundwater or surface water as the material is not readily biodegradable. All collected spilled material should be disposed of in accordance with local environmental regulations.
