NIAX Catalyst is a series of high-efficiency catalysts developed by Dow Chemical for polyurethane production. It has a variety of models and is suitable for different polyurethane products and process requirements. The following are several common NIAX catalysts and their main product parameters:<\/p>\n
Chemical name<\/strong>: Dilaurel dibutyltin Features<\/strong>:<\/p>\n Chemical name<\/strong>: Sinia Features<\/strong>:<\/p>\n Chemical name<\/strong>: Bis(2-ethylhexyl)zinc Features<\/strong>:<\/p>\n Chemical Name<\/strong>: Dilaurel di-n-butyltin Features<\/strong>:<\/p>\n NIAX catalysts have been widely used in many polyurethane applications due to their excellent catalytic properties and wide applicability. The following will introduce the specific performance and advantages of NIAX catalysts in different application scenarios in detail. <\/p>\n Soft polyurethane foam is widely used in furniture, mattresses, car seats and other fields, and has good comfort and cushioning performance. NIAX C-1200 and T-9 are common catalysts in this field, which can significantly improve foaming speed and uniformity while reducing VOC emissions. <\/p>\n Application of C-1200<\/strong>: C-1200 performs well in soft foam production, especially in the manufacture of high rebound foams and low density foams. It can quickly trigger the reaction between isocyanate and polyol at lower temperatures, shorten the reaction time and improve production efficiency. In addition, the C-1200 helps to form a uniform, fine foam structure, enhancing the physical properties of the product. Research shows that foams produced using C-1200 have better compression permanent deformation rate and resilience, and can meet the needs of the high-end market (reference: [1]). <\/p>\n<\/li>\n T-9 Application<\/strong>: T-9 is suitable for higher density soft foams, especially in the manufacture of composite materials. Its powerful catalytic action can complete complex chemical reactions in a short time, significantly improving production efficiency. At the same time, T-9 has excellent heat resistance and can maintain stable catalytic performance under high temperature conditions. It is suitable for polyurethane products that require high temperature curing. Experimental data show that foams produced with T-9 have higher strength and lower density, which can effectively reduce costs (reference: [2]). <\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Rough polyurethane foam is widely used in building insulation, refrigerator and refrigerators and refrigerators, and has excellent thermal insulation performance and mechanical strength. NIAX L-580 is the preferred catalyst in this field, which can significantly increase the foaming speed and density while reducing VOC emissions. <\/p>\n Elastomers and coatings are important application areas of polyurethane and are widely used in automobiles, construction, electronics and other industries. NIAX U-820 is a common catalyst in this field, which can significantly improve product flexibility and adhesion while reducing VOC emissions. <\/p>\n Composite materials are another important application area of \u200b\u200bpolyurethane, which is widely used in aerospace, automobile, sports goods and other industries. NIAX T-9 is a commonly used catalyst in this field, which can significantly improve the mechanical properties and weather resistance of composite materials while reducing VOC emissions. <\/p>\n In the polyurethane production process, the selection of catalyst not only affects the quality and production efficiency of the product, but also has an important impact on the environment. Traditional polyurethane catalysts often contain heavy metals and other harmful substances, which can easily lead to environmental pollution and waste of resources. In contrast, NIAX catalysts have obvious environmental advantages and can reduce the impact on the environment while improving production efficiency. <\/p>\n Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are common pollutants in the production process of polyurethanes. Long-term exposure to high concentrations of VOC environments can cause harm to human health. NIAX catalysts can significantly reduce VOC emissions by optimizing reaction conditions and reducing the occurrence of side reactions. <\/p>\n VOC emission reduction effects of C-1200 and T-9<\/strong>: Studies show that VOC emissions are reduced by 30 respectively during soft foam production using C-1200 and T-9 catalysts. % and 40%. This is because these two catalysts can quickly initiate reactions at lower temperatures, reducing the occurrence of side reactions and thus reducing the generation of VOCs (References: [6]). <\/p>\n<\/li>\n VOC emission reduction effect of L-580<\/strong>: In hard foam production, L-580 catalyst also shows excellent VOC emission reduction effect. Experimental data show that VOC emissions were reduced by 25% during the production of rigid foam using L-580 catalyst. This is because the high catalytic activity of L-580 can speed up the reaction speed and reduce reaction time, thereby reducing the generation of VOCs (Reference: [7]). <\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n In the production process of polyurethane, energy consumption is an important environmental factor. Traditional catalysts often require higher reaction temperatures and longer reaction times, resulting in increased energy consumption. NIAX catalysts can quickly complete reactions at lower temperatures by optimizing reaction conditions, thereby significantly reducing energy consumption. <\/p>\n Energy saving effect of C-1200<\/strong>: Research shows that energy consumption is reduced by 20% during the soft foam production process using C-1200 catalyst. This is because the C-1200 can rapidly trigger reactions at lower temperatures, reducing heating time and energy consumption (Reference: [8]). <\/p>\n<\/li>\n L-580’s energy saving effect<\/strong>: In hard foam production, L-580 catalyst also shows excellent energy saving effect. Experimental data show that energy consumption is reduced by 15% during the production process of rigid foam using L-580 catalyst. This is because the high catalytic activity of L-580 can speed up the reaction speed and reduce reaction time, thereby reducing energy consumption (Reference: [9]). <\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n The waste disposal generated during the production of polyurethane is also an important environmental issue. Traditional catalysts often contain heavy metals and other harmful substances, which are difficult to deal with and easily pollute the environment. NIAX catalysts are free of heavy metals and other harmful substances, comply with the requirements of the EU REACH regulations and RoHS directives, reducing the difficulty and cost of waste disposal. <\/p>\n Waste treatment advantages of U-820<\/strong>: Research shows that waste treatment costs are reduced by 30% during the production process of elastomers and coatings using U-820 catalyst. This is because U-820 does not contain heavy metals and other harmful substances, meets environmental protection requirements, and reduces the difficulty and cost of waste disposal (references: [10]). <\/p>\n<\/li>\n Waste treatment advantages of T-9<\/strong>: In composite material production, T-9 catalysts also show excellent waste treatment effects. Experimental data show that the waste treatment cost is reduced by 25% during the production process of composite materials using T-9 catalyst. This is because T-9 does not contain heavy metals and other harmful substances, meets environmental protection requirements, and reduces the difficulty and cost of waste disposal (references: [11]). <\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n NIAX catalyst not only performs well in environmental friendliness, but also has obvious advantages in economic benefits. By improving production efficiency, reducing energy consumption and reducing waste disposal costs, NIAX catalysts can bring significant economic benefits to enterprises. <\/p>\n The high catalytic activity of the NIAX catalyst can significantly shorten the reaction time and improve production efficiency. Taking soft foam production as an example, the production line using C-1200 catalyst increased by 20% per hour and an annual output increased by 10%. This means that companies can produce more products within the same time, thereby improving market competitiveness (references: [12]). <\/p>\n As mentioned earlier, NIAX catalysts can quickly complete reactions at lower temperatures, reducing energy consumption. Taking hard foam production as an example, a production line using L-580 catalyst can save 15% of energy costs per year. This means millions of dollars in cost savings for large manufacturers (references: [13]). <\/p>\n NIAX catalyst does not contain heavy metals and other harmful substances, meets environmental protection requirements, and reduces the difficulty and cost of waste disposal. Taking elastomer production as an example, companies using U-820 catalysts can save 30% of waste treatment costs every year. This means that more funds can be invested in R&D and innovation for enterprises that focus on environmental protection (references: [14]). <\/p>\n NIAX catalysts can not only improve production efficiency, but also significantly improve product quality. Taking composite material production as an example, products using T-9 catalysts have higher strength and lower density, which can effectively reduce costs and improve market competitiveness. Research shows that composite materials using T-9 catalysts have received higher evaluation and recognition in the market (references: [15]). <\/p>\n To sum up, NIAX catalysts have significant advantages in improving polyurethane production efficiency and reducing environmental impact. By optimizing reaction conditions, improving product quality and reducing energy consumption, NIAX catalysts can not only meet the production needs of enterprises, but also effectively reduce the impact on the environment and promote the sustainable development of the industry. In the future, with the continuous improvement of environmental awareness and the continuous advancement of technology, NIAX catalysts will be widely used in more fields, injecting new impetus into the development of the global polyurethane industry. <\/p>\n References:<\/p>\n <<\/p>\n","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Introduction With the increasing global attention to en…<\/p>\n","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[6],"tags":[15896],"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"link","format":"url"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.newtopchem.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54105"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.newtopchem.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.newtopchem.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.newtopchem.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.newtopchem.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=54105"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/www.newtopchem.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54105\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.newtopchem.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=54105"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.newtopchem.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=54105"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.newtopchem.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=54105"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
