- Advantages
Fast tack free time; Excellent viscosity stability/pot life; Excellent exterior durability; Effective with a variety of isocyanates and polyols; Superior synergy with pot life extenders, such as 2,4-pentanedione
- Appearance
- Clear, Amber liquid
- Shelf LIfe
- 18 months
- Solubility
If 2,4-pentanedione is used as a pot life extender, it should be added to the polyol component then followed by the catalyst. It should not be pre-mixed with the K-KAT 5218.
