Features & Benefits

Labeling Claims
Features
  • Ecologically safe replacement for other polyurethane catalysts, especially tertiary amines and DBTL
  • Accelerates the chemical reaction between the alcohol and isocyanate component of polyurethane coating systems, thus allowing optimum steering of the drying properties
  • Ensures fast blocking stability
  • Higher film hardness
  • Earlier sanding of the coating

Applications & Uses

Compatible Polymers & Resins
Applications
Ideal applications include industrial, automotive refinish, and coil solvent-based one- and two-component polyurethane coatings. This solution works well for polyurethane foams.
Dosage
Our experience has shown the recommended addition rate of Borchi® Kat 24 to be between 0.01 and 0.03 % product, calculated on total solid binder. The exact amount depends on the used binder and should be determined by means of preliminary trials. Borchi® Kat 24 can be added either in the supply form or diluted in any suitable solvent (e.g. butyl acetate) to the polyol component of the coating system. Borchi® Kat 24 should not be diluted below 10 % of the supply form, since those solutions are only stable for a limited period of time.
