Features

  • Potassium neodecanoate dissolved in diethylene glycol which combined with cobalt supports the accelerating effect in unsaturated polyesters dissolved in styrene
  • Potassium neodecanoate is an effective primary trimerization catalyst for use in the production of rigid urethane foams
  • Decreases discoloration of UPS-Systems caused by Cobalt
  • Capable of stabilizing the rheological and the pot lifebehavior of waterborne 2-components PUR systems
  • Completely miscible with water, alcohols and other polar solvents

Applications

  • Rigid Urethane Foams
  • Unsaturated polyesters in solvent-containing and water-based systems

Dosage

The approximate dosage is 0.2 – 1.0 %, relative to total formulation. The ideal dosage of Borchers® Deca Potassium 12 could be considerably different for different field of application and has to be determined in trials for each system.

Storage

Protect from the effects of weathering and store at temperatures below 50 °C. Once opened, containers should be resealed immediately after each removal of the product. With prolonged storage of opened containers it is advisable to scavenge the vapour space above the product with nitrogen before resealing the containers.
