Thermal-sensitive catalyst SA-102: An effective way to reduce the cost of polyurethane products

Introduction

Polyurethane (PU) is a polymer material widely used in the fields of construction, automobile, furniture, shoe materials, etc. Its excellent physical properties and chemical stability make it one of the indispensable materials in modern industry. However, the production cost of polyurethane products has been the focus of manufacturers. In order to reduce production costs, while maintaining and even improving product performance, the thermal catalyst SA-102 came into being. This article will introduce in detail the characteristics, applications and their important role in reducing the cost of polyurethane products.

1. Overview of thermal-sensitive catalyst SA-102

1.1 What is a thermosensitive catalyst?

Thermal sensitive catalyst is a catalyst that is capable of activating or inactivating at a specific temperature. Unlike traditional catalysts, the thermally sensitive catalyst remains inert at low temperatures and is rapidly activated at high temperatures, thereby controlling the progress of the reaction. This characteristic gives the thermally sensitive catalyst a unique advantage in polyurethane production.

1.2 Basic characteristics of SA-102

SA-102 is a highly efficient thermally sensitive catalyst designed for polyurethane production. Its main characteristics include:

Thermal Sensitivity: Keep inert at room temperature and quickly activate at high temperatures.
Efficiency: Significantly improve the reaction rate and shorten the production cycle.
Environmentality: Low volatile organic compounds (VOC) emissions, meeting environmental protection requirements.
Stability: Stabilizes stability during storage and use, and is not easy to decompose.

1.3 Chemical structure of SA-102

The chemical structure of SA-102 has been carefully designed to ensure its efficiency and selectivity in polyurethane reactions. Its molecular structure contains multiple active sites, which can react quickly with polyurethane precursors at high temperatures.

2. Application of SA-102 in polyurethane production

2.1 Basic process of polyurethane production

The production of polyurethane usually involves the following steps:

Raw material preparation: Mix the raw materials such as polyols, isocyanates and other raw materials in proportion.
Reaction: Under the action of a catalyst, the polyol undergoes polymerization reaction with isocyanate.
Modeling: Inject the reaction product into the mold and mold it.
Post-treatment: Curing, cutting and other treatments for molded products.

2.2 The role of SA-102 in reaction

SA-102 plays a key role in the polyurethane reaction. Its thermally sensitive properties allow reactions to be mixed and injected at low temperatures, while polymerization reactions are quickly completed at high temperatures. This control method not only improves production efficiency, but also reduces energy consumption.

2.3 Application advantages of SA-102

Shortening the production cycle: The efficiency of SA-102 significantly shortens the reaction time and improves production efficiency.
Reduce energy consumption: Because the reaction is completed quickly at high temperatures, the heating and cooling time is reduced, thereby reducing energy consumption.
Improving product quality: The selectivity of SA-102 makes the reaction more uniform, reduces the occurrence of side reactions, and improves the physical performance of the product.
