Introduction<\/h4>\n

Self-skinning foams, a subset of polyurethane (PU) foams, are characterized by their ability to form a dense, continuous skin during the foaming process. This unique property makes them ideal for applications requiring aesthetic appeal and durability, such as automotive interiors, furniture upholstery, and footwear components. The role of soft foam catalysts in self-skinning foams is pivotal, influencing not only the formation of the skin but also the overall properties of the foam core. This article delves into the mechanisms by which these catalysts function, examines various types of catalysts used, discusses factors affecting their performance, and explores future trends and research directions.<\/p>\n
