Sigma Cat Amine Catalysts
Sigma Cure and Biocure phenolic urethane cold box (PUCB) systems use vaporized amines as the catalyst which initiates a reaction between a phenolic resin and an isocyanate resin to form a urethane polymer. TEA (triethylamine), DMEA (dimethylethylamine), and DMIPA (dimethylisopropylamine) are used in the vapor form as catalysts in this process.
HAI's amine catalyst product line, Sigma Cat, is designed for use with our entire line of phenolic urethane cold box resins. To learn more read our Sigma Cat Technical Data Sheet.
