Borchi^® Kat 2115

Physical Characteristics

Features

• Neodecanoate mixed metals that can be used to replace DBTDL, DOTL, and amine-based catalysts

• Extended pot-life and higher hardness compared to DBTDL and leading bismuth catalysts

• 2-ethylhexanoic acid-free (2-EH) for improved labeling over traditional bismuth octoate

• Additional Benefits:
  • Maintain outstanding corrosion resistance
  • No impact on achieving high gloss finishes
  • Will not contribute to yellowing
  • Comparable dry times to tin-free bismuth technology

Applications

• Solvent-based and solvent-free pigmented and clear one- and two-component polyurethane coatings
  • Automotive Refinish
  • General Industrial
  • Coil
• Suitable for polyurethane foams

Dosage

The recommended addition rate of Borchi^® Kat 2115 in polyurethane coatings is, according to our experience, between 0.02 and 0.15% product, calculated on solid binder. The exact amount depends on the used binder and should be determined by means of preliminary trials. Borchi^® Kat 2115 can be added either in the supply form or diluted (e.g., in butyl acetate) to the polyol component of the coating system. Borchi^® Kat 2115 should not be diluted below 10% of the supply form, since those solutions are only stable for a limited period of time.

Storage

Protect from the effects of weathering and store at temperatures between 5 and 30 °C. Once opened, containers should be resealed immediately after each removal of the product.
