DABCO® T 131 is a strong catalyst for the urethane reaction (gelling), providing delayed-action catalysis. It is a high-activity organotin gelation catalyst used in polyurethane foam and elastomer formulations. The product was developed to delay the gelation of the urethane reaction, resulting in an extended time period compared to most tin catalyst systems. This delay in cream time allows for increased foam rise, mold fill, or material travel time, depending on the processing method used.
