Characteristic Data

Metal content Bi: 15.80 – 16.20 % Bi, ISO 4619
Non-volatile content 50.0 – 60.0 % ISO 3251 (2g, 3h, 105°C)
Viscosity Max. 2500 mPa.s 20°C, ISO 3219
Density 1.080 – 1.120 g/cm³ 20°C, DIN 51757

Properties

  • Accelerates solvent-based or solvent-free one- and two-component polyurethane systems and stoving enamels based on blocked isocyanates
  • Ensures fast blocking stability of polyurethane coatings
  • Provides increased film hardness, earlier solvent resistance and allows earlier sanding of the applied coating
  • Replacement for other polyurethane catalysts, especially for amines and tin-based products like DBTL

Applications

  • Coatings
    • Automotive refinish
    • General industrial
    • Coil

Dosage

The recommended addition rate of Borchi® Kat 315 EU in polyurethane coatings is according to our experience between 0.01 and 0.12% product, calculated on solid binder. The exact amount depends on the used binder and should be determined by means of preliminary trials.

The optimal addition rate of Borchi® Kat 315 EU in PU foams and RTV silicone resins is depending on the reactive components and should as well be determined by means of preliminary trials.

Borchi® Kat 315 EU 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 315 EU 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.
