Product Applications
  • DABCO® CRYSTALLINE is used in all types of polyurethane foams including flexible slabstock, flexible molded, rigid, semi-flexible and elasto- meric. It is also used in polyurethane coatings applications. DABCO® CRYSTALLINE accelerates the reactions between the isocyanate and water and the isocyanate and organic hydroxyl groups.
  • In flexible slabstock foam systems, DABCO® CRYSTALLINE can be used with a stannous octoate catalyst, such as DABCO® T 9. In flexible molded systems, DABCO® CRYSTALLINE can be used with a blow co-catalyst, such as DABCO® BL 11. In rigid systems, DABCO® CRYSTALLINE is frequently used with DABCO® DMEA (dimethylethanolamine). In general, DABCO® CRYSTALLINE can be used in combination with all kinds of catalysts.
  • DABCO® CRYSTALLINE is also available in liquid forms as DABCO® 33 LV, DABCO® EG, DABCO® 25 S and DABCO® 33 S catalysts. All these products are solutions of DABCO® CRYSTALLINE in different solvents.
