In the fast-paced polyurethane industry, catalyst performance directly impacts productivity, foam quality, and cost efficiency. SYNOCAT® NEM (N-Ethylmorpholine, CAS 100-74-3) stands out as a versatile, high-purity catalyst optimized for polyester-polyurethane soft block foam systems. With >99% purity and unmatched consistency, it delivers faster curing, superior foam structure, and broader process adaptability compared to conventional catalysts.
Rapid Reaction Kinetics: SYNOCAT® NEM reduces gel time by 15–20% versus standard catalysts, enabling shorter demolding cycles and higher throughput.
Balanced Reactivity: Ensures uniform cell structure in soft foams (density: 18–25 kg/m³), minimizing defects like voids or shrinkage.
Improved Comfort: Optimized open-cell structure enhances airflow, critical for mattress and automotive seating foams.
Low Odor & VOC Compliance: Meets global standards (REACH, TSCA) for indoor applications.
Reduced Dosage: Achieve target reactivity with 10–15% lower loading vs. amine blends.
Batch Consistency: ≤0.2% water content ensures stable catalytic activity across production runs.
Parameter | SYNOCAT® NEM | Conventional Catalysts |
---|---|---|
Gel Time (Polyester) | 90–110 sec | 110–130 sec |
Foam Resilience | 45% ball rebound | 38–42% |
VOC Emissions | <50 ppm | 80–120 ppm |
Storage Stability | 24 months | 12–18 months |
While excelling in PU foam, SYNOCAT® NEM is also ideal for:
Organic Synthesis: Intermediate for surfactants, dyes, and pharmaceuticals.
Coatings & Adhesives: Solvent for epoxy resins and acrylate systems.
Preservative Production: Efficient emulsifier for agrochemical formulations.
Technical Support: Access Sinocure’s PU Formulation Guide for optimized catalyst ratios.
Global Compliance: Halogen-free, RoHS-certified, and backed by SDS/COA.
Sustainable Packaging: 190kg sealed drums with nitrogen padding to prevent degradation.
Challenge: Inconsistent cell structure caused 8% scrap rates.
Solution: Switched to SYNOCAT® NEM (0.6% loading in polyester-PU system).
Results:
Scrap rate reduced to 1.5%.
12% faster demolding (3.5-minute cycles).
Passed OEM humidity aging tests (7 days at 85°C/85% RH).
Boost your PU foam productivity and quality with SYNOCAT® NEM.
