    Application Information
    • Flexible ester slabstock foam: Addocat® DB is a catalyst for the production of flexible ester foam based mainly on TDI 65/35. 1.0 - 1.6 parts by weight Addocat® DB per 100 parts by weight polyester polyol are used, depending on the water content of the formulation (2.0 - 5.0 parts by weight water). Since Addocat® DB is insoluble in water, it can be emulsified in a mixture of water, Addovate® WM and Addovate®SM.
    • Rigid foam: Addocat® DB is a weak catalyst for the crosslinking reaction. It is often used as a co-catalyst and gives rigid foam a tough and slightly elastic surface, especially in polyester polyol containing systems.
    Product Applications
    • Addocat® DB is used mainly in the continuous production of slabstock foam with densities higher than 50 kg/m3. Depending on the desired density, Addovate® SM can be used simultaneously (at dosages of 1.0 - 4.0 parts by weight Addovate® SM)
    • On-site casting
    • Continuous production of building boards with flexible and rigid or metal facings.

    Storage & Handling

    Storage Conditions
    • Addocat® DB is to be stored in a cool and dry place.
    • When Addocat® DB is stored in firmly closed original containers at dry conditions at approx. 20 °C, a shelf-life of 24 months from manufacturing date can be expected.
    • When storing the product for long periods, especially at temperatures above 30 °C, diskoloration may occur even in closed original containers.
    • This does not have a negative impact on catalytic activity.
    • The containers should be resealed tightly after use to prevent contamination by impurities and exposure to moisture.
