High-active Built-in Catalysts for Low-VOC-Applications Avoid the Odor of Amine Catalysts but Improve the HACS Values

摘要

Nitroil~(~R) Performance Chemicals has developed a revolutionary series of high-active catalysts for low-VOC / low-fogging applications. Unlike several other low-VOC grades that can be found on the market, this novel development product line, called PC CAT~(~R) HA series, shows a unusually high activity together with a minimized influence on physical aging parameters. Especially the humid aging compression set (HACS), which can be seen as a key factor in the automotive field and that prevented many low-VOC products from being accepted by the industry, is hardly affected. In addition, disturbing odors from the catalyst itself are not relevant. This enables the end-users to realize the full-line ''amine-free solution".
