Polyurethane Catalyst
Polyurethane Catalyst can be divided into two broad classes: gelling catalysts and blowing catalysts. Gelling catalysts are more selective to catalyzing the reaction of the isocyanate with hydroxyl groups, whereas blowing catalysts are foaming catalysts; Blowing catalysts are more selective to catalyzing the reaction of the isocyanate with water to produce foam. When formulating a polyurethane foam system, it is important to have the correct ratio of gelling and blowing catalysts. If the ratio of gelling and blowing catalysts is incorrect, the foam will either lack physical integrity, or will be too dense.
