Air Products has launched a new series of catalyst and additive technologies for Hydrofluoroolefin (HFO) based polyurethane foam applications.
The new additives will allow the use of low-global warming potential (GWP) HFO blowing agents polyurethane foam applications.
Air Products has introduced new Polycat 203 catalyst, which is a patented, water-free and non-emissive amine catalyst for integral skin applications. It demonstrates better resin-side stability when used with HFO blowing agents.
Polycat 218 catalyst is a patented, blow-biased and non-emissive amine catalyst for spray foam applications (SPF). It offers enhanced resin-side stability when used in conjunction with Polycat 204 and HFO blowing agents.
Dabco PM301 catalyst is a patented, non-emissive and organic modifier, which can promote HFO blowing agent solubility in SPF applications.
Polycat 211 and Dabco TMR18 are new catalyst technologies, which can be used to enhance both system reactivity and physical properties in rigid foams that use HFO blowing agents and contain high water content levels.
The company is showcasing the new products at the Center for the Polyurethanes Industry’s (CPI) annual Technical Conference held in Baltimore, US, which is being held from 26 to 28 September.
Air Products Polyurethane Additives business produces a range of catalysts and surfactants for all types of flexible, rigid, and microcellular foam.
