    Description

    MOFANCAT 15A is a non-emissive balanced amine catalyst. Due to its reactive hydrogen, it readily reacts into the polymer matrix. It has a slight selectivity towards the urea (isocyanate-water) reaction. Improves the surface cure in flexible molded systems. It is mainly used as a low-odor reactive catalyst with active hydrogen group for polyurethane foam. It can be used in rigid polyurethane systems where a smooth reaction profile is required. Promotes the surface cure/ reduces skinning property and improved surface appearance.

    Application

    MOFANCAT 15A is used for spray foam insulation, flexible slabstock, packaging foam, automotive instrument panels and other application that need to improve surface cure/ reduces skinning property and improved surface appearance.

    FAQ

    I make flexible molded foam for furniture and want to reduce amine emissions. How does 15A help?

    CAT 15A is a low-fogging, reactive catalyst that reduces VOC by 60-70% compared to conventional TEDA.

    My foam has a high amount of open cells, causing poor load support. Can 15A improve the cell structure?

    Yes, it promotes a more uniform closed-cell content; use 0.2–0.3 phr to achieve a balance.

    What is the recommended catalyst blend for a high-resilience foam with low density (25 kg/m³)?

    CAT 15A (0.25 phr) + MOFAN A1 (0.07 phr) gives good rise and demold.

    Can CAT 15A be used in polyurethane integral skin foam?

    Yes, it provides a fine, uniform cell structure and a defect-free skin.

    My two-component polyurethane potting compound cures too slowly at low temperatures. How to use 15A?

    Add 0.3–0.6 phr; it reduces the cure time from 24h to 4h at 5°C.

    Does CAT 15A cause any corrosion on metal substrates?

    No, it is less corrosive than strong bases like DBU or sodium methoxide.

    How can I reduce the amount of tin catalyst in a microcellular elastomer for shoe soles?

    Replace half of the tin with CAT 15A (0.15 phr) to maintain cure speed and improve flex fatigue.

    Is CAT 15A suitable for polyurethane coatings for wood flooring?

    Yes, it gives fast hardness development and excellent scratch resistance.

    My polyurethane adhesive for laminating films has bubbles after curing. Can 15A solve this?

    Yes, its slower initial reaction allows air bubbles to escape before gelation.

    What is the shelf life of a polyol premix containing CAT 15A?

    Typically 6–9 months if kept dry and under nitrogen; avoid high humidity.
