KOSMOS® MB 16

Chemical Family
Bismuth Compounds

KOSMOS® MB 16 is a catalyst composed of bismuth carboxylate. It finds applications in the production of 2K polyurethane elastomers, sealants, coatings, or adhesives. Compared to DABCO® MB 20, KOSMOS® MB 16 exhibits reduced sensitivity to residual moisture, resulting in shorter gel times and tack-free times. Additionally, it offers improved curing times and has a lower viscosity compared to standard bismuth grades.
