Applications & Uses

Product Applications
  • While DABCO® T 120 is recommended for general use as a rigid foam catalyst, it has been found to be particularly useful in high humidity and oxidizing environments or where improved master batch stability is necessary.
  • In high-resiliency formulations, it imparts improved load-bearing properties, breathability and low compression set. Additionally, it exhibits low humid age load loss characteristics.
  • It has also shown utility as a catalyst for shoe sole formulations.
  • DABCO® T 120 is not compatible with bismuth catalysts.
