Polycat 5 is a tertiary amine-based foaming catalyst that facilitates urea (water-isocyanate) reactions in a variety of hard and soft polyurethane foam applications. It is the industry standard foaming catalyst for hard foams and is used in MDI-based on-site casting polyurethane systems, such as rigid appliances. It is also used in combination with trimer catalysts in PIR laminated paperboard formulations. Polycat 5 can also be used in TDI, TDI/MDI, MDI High Resilience (HR) soft molding foams as well as self-crusting and microcellular systems. It has a shelf life of 36 months.
