9727 Product parameters of catalyst

9727 Catalyst is a highly efficient polyurethane catalyst based on organotin compounds, with its main component being Dibutyltin Dilaurate (DBTDL). This catalyst has the following distinctive features:

1. Chemical composition and structure

9727 The main active ingredient of the catalyst is DBTDL, and its molecular formula is C36H70O4Sn. DBTDL is a bifunctional catalyst that can not only promote the reaction between isocyanate (NCO) and polyol (Polyol, OH), but also accelerate the generation of carbon dioxide (CO2), thereby effectively controlling the foaming process. In addition, the 9727 catalyst also contains a small amount of solvent and additives to improve its stability and dispersion.

2. Physical properties

The physical properties of the 9727 catalyst are shown in Table 1:

3. Chemical Properties

9727 catalyst has strong alkalinity and can effectively catalyze the reaction between NCO and OH to form a Urethane bond. At the same time, it can catalyze the formation of CO2 and promote the foaming process of polyurethane foam. The catalytic activity of the 9727 catalyst is closely related to its concentration, temperature and reaction time. Generally speaking, the amount of 9727 catalyst is 0.1%-0.5% of the total amount of polyurethane raw materials. The specific amount needs to be adjusted according to different application fields and process requirements.

4. Stability and safety

9727 catalyst has good thermal and chemical stability, and can maintain efficient catalytic activity over a wide temperature range. However, due to its containing organotin compounds, long-term exposure to air may cause oxidation reactions, resulting in catalyst failure. Therefore, during storage and transportation, high temperatures, humidity and direct light should be avoided, and it is recommended to store them in a cool and dry place.

From a safety perspective, the 9727 catalyst is a hazardous chemical and has certain toxicity. Appropriate protective equipment, such as gloves, goggles and masks, should be worn during operation to avoid skin contact and inhalation. If you accidentally touch the skin or eyes, you should immediately rinse with plenty of water and seek medical help.
