POLYCAT® SA 8

POLYCAT® SA 8 is a tertiary amine utilized to enhance the urethane reaction either through heat activation or when combined with co-catalysts at ambient temperature. This product finds application in coatings, adhesives, sealants, elastomers, and composites. By using formulations containing POLYCAT® SA 8, it is possible to achieve an extended pot life comparable to that of mercury catalysts.

Applications

POLYCAT® SA 8 is recommended for coatings, adhesives, sealants, elastomer or composite applications where a long open time is required to achieve sufficiently long handling time, to achieve improved flow or improved substrate wetting. Curing time of POLYCAT® SA 8 based formulations can be improved when combining with appropriate pot life extenders available from Evonik.
