Lupragen® API - N-(3-Aminopropyl)imidazole also known as 1H-imidazole-1-propylamine. This versatile compound serves as a dispersant, intermediate, and catalyst, making it an essential component in various applications. Classified within the chemical family of imidazoles and heterocyclic compounds, Lupragen® API seamlessly integrates with polyurethanes (PU), showcasing its compatibility with this polymer and resin.

POLYCAT® SA 2 LE is a low-emissive, delayed-action tertiary amine based on DBU. It effectively enhances the urethane reaction when heat is applied, making it suitable for microcellular, integral skin, coating, adhesive, sealant, and elastomer applications. This product is especially recommended for use with low-activity aliphatic isocyanates.

POLYCAT® SA 8 is a tertiary amine utilized to enhance the urethane reaction either through heat activation or when combined with co-catalysts at ambient temperature. This product finds application in coatings, adhesives, sealants, elastomers, and composites. By using formulations containing POLYCAT® SA 8, it is possible to achieve an extended pot life comparable to that of mercury catalysts.

LRBG Chemicals USA Catalyst I-25 powder is specifically designed for use with their melamine urea powder resin, MU 400. When blended with MU 400, it extends the working pot life and accelerates the set time under heat. This catalyst is ideal for high-frequency gluing applications such as truck trailer flooring, rail decks, and other laminated structures.
