Catalyst

A catalyst in the production of polyurethane is a substance that increases the reaction rate between diisocyanates and polyols without permanently participating in the reaction. It allows the kinetics of polymerisation to be controlled, directly affecting the properties of the final product such as hardness, density and porosity. Catalysts are crucial for optimising manufacturing processes and developing materials to precise specifications. The efficiency of these catalysts is vital to the economics of the production process and the quality of the polyurethaneThe reaction rate and the characteristics of the final product will be affected.
