"Dimension Technology Chemical Systems, Inc., specializes in the development and manufacture of chemical accelerators for the epoxy industry. Our proprietary line of Hycat™ Catalysts provide unique low to moderate temperature curing performance in a wide variety of epoxy formulations for a number of commercial applications including the formation of epoxy-derivatives such as monomers, oligomers, acrylates and other intermediates.

Hycat™ Catalysts are designed for use in Epoxy-Anhydride and Epoxy-Carboxylic Acid formulations. Hycat™ Catalysts will also promote other small ring compounds such as aziridines and oxetanes and accelerate the reaction of polyols with anhydrides."

"Hycat™ Catalysts are designed to accelerate the reaction of many different types of epoxides including Cycloaliphatics, BADGE’s, Novolacs, Cyanate Esters, Silanes and more with anhydrides, carboxylic acids or imides. They are also effective in accelerating the reaction of other small ring compounds including aziridines and oxetanes, will promote the reaction of polyols with anhydrides and are ideal for the manufacture of epoxy acrylates (aka vinyl esters).

Hycat™ Catalysts have low onset temperatures so they offer quick gel at low temperature and fast cures at moderate and higher temperatures. Moderate peak temperatures and a more even distribution of the exotherm in the catalyzed reaction, produces consistently uniform polymer cures, free from voids and cracks. Hycat™ Catalysts can be used with monomeric, dimeric and poly functional groups to tailor the degree of crosslinking and work well with many popular additives and toughening agents to fine tune the mechanical properties of the final polymer.

Typical catalyst loading is 1 to 5 phr (parts per hundred resin) and all Hycat™ Catalysts are liquid so they are easy to handle, easy to load and easily cleaned up with typical organic solvents. Because they are liquid Hycat™ Catalysts can be readily adjusted and optimized allowing formulators to tailor pot life, cure schedule and various mechanical properties with relative ease. Also compared to most amine and imidazole catalysts, Hycat™ Catalysts do not emit noxious vapors and odors.

Hycat™ Catalysts are REACH and RoHS compliant and are manufactured in ISO 9002 certified facilities. Commercial quantities are available in 4L (4Kgs) bottles, 20L (20 Kgs) jerricans, 50L (50 Kgs) drums and 200L (200 Kgs) drums."

Hycat™ AO-4 is a clear and colorless catalyst used to accelerate the reaction of epoxy resins with various anhydrides including MTHPA, MHHPA, NMA, PA and more.

Hycat™ AO-4

Hycat™ 3000S is a anhydride catalyst used to accelerate the reaction of epoxy resins with various anhydrides including MTHPA, MHHPA, NMA, PA and more.

Hycat™ 3000S

Hycat™ SM-3 has similar performance to the flagship anhydride catalyst, Hycat 3100S, but was specially formulated to perform better at higher cure temperatures.

Hycat™ SM-3

Hycat™ OA provides a more even distribution of the heat evolved from a polymer reaction leading to the production of consistently uniform cures that are free from cracks and voids.

Hycat™ OA

Hycat™ 2000S is a proprietary liquid catalyst that accelerates the reaction of various epoxy resins with carboxylic acids and other small ring compounds.

Hycat™ 2000S

Hycat™ AC-4 is the newest anhydride catalyst. Its performance is similar to Hycat™ 3100S but on average has slightly faster gel times.
