CYCAT® 6030 catalyst is an amine-neutralized dodecylbenzene sulfonic acid supplied in isopropanol. It functions as a catalyst to hasten the cure of amino crosslinking agents and enhance package stability. Typically, systems utilizing a blocked catalyst will exhibit a slower cure rate compared to those with an unblocked catalyst. However, unblocked catalysts may compromise package stability. This catalyst is suitable for use in clearcoat formulations, waterborne coatings, and solvent-borne coatings. It finds applications in automotive OEM coatings, industrial coatings, and metal coatings.
