    FAQ

    I produce PIR rigid foam panels requiring high flame resistance. How does K 15 work?

    K 15 is a potassium-based trimerization catalyst that promotes isocyanurate ring formation, significantly improving fire performance.

    My continuous laminating line for PIR board is too slow. Can K 15 increase line speed?

    Yes, at 0.5–1.5 phr it accelerates trimerization, allowing higher line speeds (up to 20% faster).

    What is the difference between K 15 and potassium acetate (K 2097)?

    K 15 (2-ethylhexanoate) is more soluble in polyols and gives a longer cream time, better for complex molds.

    My rigid foam has poor adhesion to aluminum foil. How to improve with K 15?

    Reduce K 15 to 0.3–0.6 phr and add a small amount of a gel catalyst (e.g., MOFAN 8) to balance.

    Can K 15 be used in spray PIR foam for roofing?

    Yes, it provides good dimensional stability and fire performance; use 0.8–1.2 phr.

    What is the typical isocyanate index (NCO/OH) when using K 15?

    250–400 for PIR foam; higher index gives better flame resistance but more brittleness.

    Does K 15 cause corrosion on metal facers?

    Potassium salts are mildly corrosive; avoid direct contact with aluminum; use a barrier if needed.

    My foam has high friability (dusting). How to reduce it?

    Blend K 15 with a potassium acetate trimer catalyst (e.g., MOFAN 2097) at a 1:1 ratio to reduce brittleness.

    Is MOFAN K 15 equivalent to K 15?

    Yes, direct replacement; same concentration and activity.

    How should I store K 15?

    As a solution in diethylene glycol; store in sealed container above 5°C to avoid crystallization.
