CUCAT series of bubble-free PU catalyst are ideal catalysts substitute for mercury catalyst in non foaming CASE field. Organic mercury catalyst has four unique characteristics: activity is slow before but fast after, no foaming and high performance. In particular, the characteristic of no foaming is the unique symbol of organic mercury.

The polyurethane catalyst is generally used in various isocyanate and active hydrogen systems, but the high toxicity of organic mercury makes it almost banned in the world. Years of research have proved that it is impossible to completely replace organic mercury with only one environmental protection catalyst. CUCAT series catalysts are developed by subdividing the application of organic mercury in various polyurethane systems. The catalytic effect of organic mercury can be achieved or even exceeded by selecting different CUCAT catalysts for different systems.
Remarkable characteristics of CUCAT series catalysts: no foaming
Conventional catalysts in polyurethane industry basically have a strong catalytic effect on the reaction between isocyanate and water, which is difficult to meet the requirements of no bubbles in most products of CASE field. At present, it is recognized that organic bismuth, whose catalytic properties are closer to that of organic mercury, can not avoid foaming, bulging and cracking even if a more stringent moisture control production process is adopted, for only controlling the moisture in raw materials is not enough, environmental factors, including trace moisture in the air, are difficult to control but have a great impact. Organic bismuth is still unsatisfactory, organic tin and amine catalysts that are more sensitive to water are even less applicable.
CUCAT series catalysts are developed to meet the bubble free requirements of products in CASE field especially polyurethane elastomer. Different from the common moisture sensitive amine/tin catalysts, it does not catalyze (weakly catalyze) the reaction of trace moisture with isocyanate, so as to avoid generating CO2 bubbles. Under the working conditions of high temperature and high humidity, it can also effectively avoid the result of multi bubbles, cracking, bulging, peeling and lusterless, surface stickiness, etc.
Taking CUCAT-DG02 catalyst suitable for MOCA curing as an example, its typical characteristics are very close to organic mercury. See the following charts for details:
When working with polyurethane (PU) systems, achieving a flawless finish is crucial. The presence of air bubbles within the cured product can diminish both its aesthetic appeal and functional integrity. This is where a Bubble-Free PU Catalyst becomes essential. Utilizing this catalyst effectively can lead to superior results and enhance the overall quality of your PU applications.

A Bubble-Free PU Catalyst acts as a specialized agent that facilitates a quicker and more efficient curing process by accelerating the chemical reactions between the resin and the isocyanate. These catalysts are designed to reduce the likelihood of bubble formation during the mixture and curing phases. By investing in a high-quality Bubble-Free PU Catalyst, you can ensure that the final product remains void of imperfections.
To truly achieve perfect results with a Bubble-Free PU Catalyst, it is important to consider several characteristics:
The preparation phase is crucial when using a Bubble-Free PU Catalyst. Begin by measuring your resin and isocyanate accurately. Any discrepancies can drastically affect the outcome. Once the components are measured, slowly incorporate the catalyst into the mixture while stirring gently to avoid unnecessary air entrapment. Maintaining a consistent mixing speed helps in further minimizing the formation of bubbles.

After preparing your mixture with the Bubble-Free PU Catalyst, the application method also influences the final outcome. Here are a few techniques to consider:
Once the application is complete, it's essential to allow sufficient curing time as recommended by the manufacturer. Avoid disturbing the PU resin during this period, as movement can lead to the inclusion of more bubbles. After curing, inspect the product carefully. If any minor bubbles are present, sanding and applying a finishing coat can restore the desired smooth surface.
In conclusion, achieving perfect results with a Bubble-Free PU Catalyst is not merely about the product itself but involves careful preparation, application, and finishing techniques. By understanding and implementing these steps, you can ensure that your PU projects are not only aesthetically pleasing but also structurally reliable.
