  • Preparation of high rebound foam: TMR-3 can effectively promote the cross-linking reaction between isocyanate and polyol, and form high rebound foam. This foam has excellent elasticity and recovery ability, and can maintain its original shape and performance after long-term use. Experiments show that the compression permanent deformation rate of mattress foam prepared using TMR-3 is only 5% after 10,000 compression cycles (Zhang et al., 2019).

  • Adjustable hardness: The dosage of TMR-3 can be adjusted according to customer needs, thereby achieving personalized customization of mattress hardness. For consumers who prefer harder mattresses, they can increase the hardness of the foam by increasing the amount of TMR-3; for consumers who prefer softer mattresses, they can reduce the hardness of the foam by reducing the amount of TMR-3. Studies have shown that there is a linear relationship between the dosage of TMR-3 and the foam hardness (Wang et al., 2021).

  • Breathability and heat dissipation: TMR-3 can promote the formation of pores inside the foam and increase the breathability and heat dissipation of the foam. This is especially important for mattresses used in summer, which can effectively prevent heat accumulation and provide a more comfortable sleepenvironment. Experimental results show that the breathability of mattress foam prepared using TMR-3 at 30°C is 30% higher than that of foam prepared by traditional catalysts (Chen et al., 2020).

4. Custom sound insulation board

Sound insulation boards are commonly used functional materials in modern homes. They can effectively reduce noise pollution and provide a quieter living environment. The application of TMR-3 in customized sound insulation panels is mainly reflected in the following aspects:

  • Preparation of high-density foam: TMR-3 can promote the closure of the internal pores of the foam, increase the density and strength of the foam, and thus enhance its sound insulation effect. Studies have shown that the sound insulation effect of sound insulation panels prepared with TMR-3 in the frequency range of 500 Hz-2000 Hz is 10 dB higher than that of sound insulation panels prepared with traditional catalysts (Johnson et al., 2016). In addition, TMR-3 can also improve the weather resistance and corrosion resistance of foam and extend the service life of sound insulation boards.

  • Personalized Thickness and Size: The dosage of TMR-3 can be adjusted according to the thickness and size of the sound insulation board to achieve personalized customization of the sound insulation board. For example, for rooms that require higher sound insulation, thicker sound insulation panels can be selected; for rooms with limited space, thinner sound insulation panels can be selected. By adjusting the dosage of TMR-3, you can save space to the maximum extent while ensuring sound insulation effect.

  • Fireproof and flame retardant functions: TMR-3 can be combined with flame retardant to prepare a soundproof panel with fireproof and flame retardant functions. This material can effectively prevent the fire from spreading when a fire occurs and protect the safety of users’ lives and property. Studies have shown that the flame propagation rate of sound insulation panels prepared using TMR-3 was 50% lower than that of traditional sound insulation panels in open flame combustion tests (Garcia et al., 2017).

The key role of polyurethane catalyst SA603 in highly elastic foam materials

Introduction

Polyurethane (PU) is a polymer material produced by the reaction of isocyanate and polyols. It is widely used in many fields such as construction, automobile, furniture, and home appliances. Among them, high elastic foam materials are one of the important branches of polyurethane applications and are highly favored for their excellent resilience, comfort and durability.

Mechanism of action of SA603 catalyst in highly elastic foam materials

The mechanism of action of SA603 catalyst in highly elastic foam materials is mainly reflected in the following aspects: promoting the reaction between isocyanate and polyol, regulating the foam structure, improving the physical properties of the foam, and improving the processing technology. These mechanisms of action will be analyzed in detail below.

1. Promote the reaction between isocyanate and polyol

The formation process of polyurethane foam is a complex chemical reaction, mainly including the addition reaction between isocyanate (Isocyanate, -NCO) and polyol (Polyol, -OH) to form urethane. The rate and degree of this reaction directly affect the density and hardness of the foam.performance such as degree and elasticity. By providing an active center, the SA603 catalyst accelerates the reaction between -NCO and -OH, thereby shortening the reaction time and improving production efficiency.

According to foreign literature research, the organotin compounds in the SA603 catalyst can form intermediates with isocyanate, reduce the reaction activation energy, and thus accelerate the reaction rate. Specifically, the organotin compound can form coordination bonds with the -NCO group, making the -NCO group more likely to react with the -OH group. In addition, tertiary amine compounds can also promote the nucleophilic attack of the -OH group through hydrogen bonding, further accelerating the reaction process.

Study shows that when using SA603 catalyst, the reaction rate of isocyanate and polyol is increased by about 30%-50% compared with traditional catalysts, which not only shortens the curing time of the foam, but also reduces the occupation time of production equipment and reduces the Production cost.

2. Regulate the foam structure

Foam structure is one of the key factors that determine the properties of highly elastic foam materials. The ideal foam structure should have a uniform pore size distribution, appropriate pore wall thickness and good pore opening. The SA603 catalyst effectively controls the foam foaming process by adjusting the reaction rate and gas release rate, thereby optimizing the foam structure.

First, the SA603 catalyst can accurately control the reaction rate of isocyanate and polyol, avoiding uneven foam structure caused by too fast or too slow reactions. A too fast reaction will cause the bubble to expand rapidly and burst, forming a large pore structure, reducing the elasticity and strength of the foam; while a too slow reaction will make the bubble unable to expand sufficiently, resulting in an increase in the foam density and decrease in elasticity. Through reasonable catalytic activity, the SA603 catalyst ensures that the reaction rate is moderate and the bubbles can expand evenly, forming an ideal microporous structure.

Secondly, the SA603 catalyst can also regulate the gas release rate to prevent excessive expansion or rupture of bubbles. During the foaming process of polyurethane foam, carbon dioxide (CO₂) is the main foaming gas. The tertiary amine compounds in the SA603 catalyst can react with water to produce CO₂, and at the same time, the release rate of CO₂ is controlled by adjusting the reaction rate. Studies have shown that when using SA603 catalyst, the release rate of CO₂ is relatively stable, and the bubbles can expand and stabilize at the appropriate time, forming a uniform pore size distribution and good pore opening rate.

3. Improve the physical properties of foam

SA603 catalyst can not only optimize the foam structure, but also significantly improve the physical properties of the foam, such as resilience, permanent compression deformation, tear strength, etc. These properties are particularly important for highly elastic foam materials and are directly related to the service life of the product and user experience.

Resilience is one of the important indicators for measuring the performance of foam materials, reflecting the ability of foam to return to its original state after being compressed. SA603 catalyst optimizes the foam structure, making the pore walls inside the foam more tough, and the bubblesThe connections between them are tighter, thereby improving the resilience of the foam. Experimental data show that the highly elastic foam prepared with SA603 catalyst has an elasticity of about 10%-15% higher than that of using traditional catalysts.

Compression permanent deformation refers to the extent to which the foam cannot fully restore its original state after being compressed for a long time. The SA603 catalyst improves the foam’s compressive resistance by enhancing the crosslinking density inside the foam and reduces permanent deformation of compression. Studies have shown that foams prepared with SA603 catalyst have reduced compression permanent deformation rate by about 8%-12%, showing better durability.

Tear strength is an important indicator to measure the tear resistance of foam materials. The SA603 catalyst enhances the intermolecular force inside the foam by promoting the crosslinking reaction between isocyanate and polyol, thereby increasing the tearing strength. Experimental results show that the tear strength of foams prepared with SA603 catalyst is about 15%-20% higher than that of traditional catalysts.

4. Improve processing technology

In addition to improving the physical properties of foam, SA603 catalyst can also significantly improve processing technology, improve production efficiency and product quality. First, the SA603 catalyst has low viscosity and good fluidity, is easy to mix with other raw materials, reducing stirring time and energy consumption. Secondly, the SA603 catalyst has a high catalytic activity, which can achieve ideal catalytic effects at a lower dosage, reducing the cost of the catalyst. In addition, the SA603 catalyst also has a long applicable period, making the production process more flexible and making it easier to adjust production parameters.

Study shows that when using SA603 catalyst, the foaming time of the foam is shortened by about 10%-15%, and the curing time is shortened by about 20%-30%, which not only improves production efficiency, but also reduces the consumption of production equipment. Time reduces production costs. In addition, the SA603 catalyst can also reduce defects on the foam surface, such as bubbles, cracks, etc., and improve the appearance quality and pass rate of the product.

Comparison of experimental data: Effects of SA603 and other catalysts

In order to more intuitively demonstrate the advantages of SA603 catalyst in highly elastic foam materials, this section will use a series of experimental data to compare the foam performance of SA603 with other common catalysts (such as Dabco T-12 and Amine Catalyst B-8412) through a series of experimental data. , processing technology and other aspects.

1. Foam density

Foam density is one of the important indicators for measuring the quality of foam materials. Typically, a lower foam density means better lightweighting, but it also requires sufficient strength and elasticity. The following is a comparison of the density of highly elastic foam materials prepared using different catalysts:

Catalyzer Foam density (kg/m³)
SA603 35-40
Dabco T-12 40-45

As can be seen from the table, the foam prepared with SA603 catalyst is lower at about 35-40 kg/m³, which is 5-10 kg/m³ lower than that of Dabco T-12 and Amine Catalyst B-8412, respectively. This is mainly because the SA603 catalyst can better regulate the foaming process, so that the bubbles expand evenly, forming a lower density foam structure.

2. Resilience

Resilience is one of the key indicators for measuring foam properties, reflecting the ability of foam to return to its original state after being pressed. The following is a comparison of the elasticity of highly elastic foam materials prepared using different catalysts:

Catalyzer Resilience (%)
SA603 85-90
Dabco T-12 75-80
Amine Catalyst B-8412 70-75

The experimental results show that the foam prepared with SA603 catalyst has a high resilience, reaching 85-90%, an increase of 10-15% compared with Dabco T-12 and Amine Catalyst B-8412, respectively. This shows that the SA603 catalyst can optimize the foam structure, making the pore walls inside the foam more tough and the connection between the bubbles tighter, thereby improving resilience.

3. Compression permanent deformation

Compression permanent deformation refers to the extent to which the foam cannot fully restore its original state after being compressed for a long time. The following is a comparison of the compression permanent deformation of highly elastic foam materials prepared using different catalysts:

Catalyzer Compression permanent deformation (%)
SA603 5-8
Dabco T-12 10-15
Amine Catalyst B-8412 12-18

Experimental data show that the foam prepared with SA603 catalyst permanent deformation is small, only 5-8%, which is 5-10% lower than that of Dabco T-12 and Amine Catalyst B-8412, respectively. This shows that the SA603 catalyst can enhance the crosslinking density inside the foam, improve the foam’s compressive resistance, and reduce permanent compression deformation.

4. Tear strength

Tear strength is an important indicator to measure the tear resistance of foam materials. The following is a comparison of the tear strength of highly elastic foam materials prepared using different catalysts:

Catalyzer Tear strength (kN/m)
SA603 1.8-2.2
Dabco T-12 1.5-1.8
Amine Catalyst B-8412 1.2-1.5

Experimental results show that the foam prepared with SA603 catalyst has a high tear strength, reaching 1.8-2.2 kN/m, which is 0.3-0.7 kN/m higher than that of Dabco T-12 and Amine Catalyst B-8412, respectively. This shows that the SA603 catalyst can promote the cross-linking reaction between isocyanate and polyol, enhance the intermolecular force inside the foam, and thus improve the tearing strength.

5. Foaming time and curing time

Foaming time and curing time are important indicators for measuring processing technology. Shorter foaming time and curing time can not only improve production efficiency, but also reduce the time of production equipment and reduce production costs. The following are the foaming time and solids of high elastic foam materials prepared using different catalystsComparison of time:

Catalyzer Foaming time (min) Currency time (min)
SA603 3-5 10-15
Dabco T-12 5-7 15-20
Amine Catalyst B-8412 7-10 20-25

Experimental results show that when using SA603 catalyst, the foaming time of the foam is short, about 3-5 minutes, which is 2-4 minutes shorter than using Dabco T-12 and Amine Catalyst B-8412, respectively; the curing time is also shorter. , about 10-15 minutes, which is 5-10 minutes shorter than using Dabco T-12 and Amine Catalyst B-8412, respectively. This shows that the SA603 catalyst has high catalytic activity and can achieve ideal catalytic effects at lower dosages, thereby significantly shortening the foaming and curing time.

How to improve product quality and production efficiency of polyurethane catalyst SA603

Introduction

Polyurethane (PU) is an important polymer material and is widely used in construction, automobile, home appliances, furniture, shoe materials, coatings, adhesives and other fields. Its excellent mechanical properties, chemical resistance, wear resistance and processability make it one of the indispensable key materials in modern industry. However, the synthesis process of polyurethane is complex and involves the selection of multiple reaction steps and catalysts. Catalysts play a crucial role in polyurethane synthesis, which not only accelerates the reaction rate, but also significantly affects the final performance of the product.

The traditional polyurethane catalysts mainly include organometallic compounds, tertiary amine compounds, etc., but these catalysts have many limitations in practical applications, such as poor reaction selectivity, many side reactions, and low product purity. In recent years, with the advancement of technology and the increase in market demand, the research and development of new high-efficiency catalysts has become an important research direction in the polyurethane industry. As a new type of polyurethane catalyst, SA603 has gradually attracted widespread attention due to its unique chemical structure and excellent catalytic properties.

SA603 catalyst is jointly developed by many domestic and foreign scientific research institutions and enterprises, and has high activity, good selectivity and low toxicity. Its main component is organotin compounds containing special functional groups, which can effectively promote the reaction between isocyanate and polyol at lower temperatures, reduce the occurrence of side reactions, and improve the purity and quality of the product. In addition, SA603 also has good thermal stability and storage stability, and can maintain a stable catalytic effect under wide process conditions.

This article will discuss in detail the application of SA603 catalyst in polyurethane production, analyze its effect on improving product quality and production efficiency, and demonstrate the advantages of SA603 by comparing traditional catalysts. The article will also quote a large number of domestic and foreign literature, combine actual cases, and deeply analyze the performance of SA603 in different application scenarios, providing readers with a comprehensive technical reference.

The basic principles of SA603 catalyst

The main component of the SA603 catalyst is an organotin compound containing special functional groups, and its chemical structure is Sn(Oct)2, where Oct represents octopic root. Through its special chemical structure, the catalyst exhibits excellent catalytic properties during polyurethane synthesis. Specifically, the mechanism of action of SA603 catalyst can be divided into the following aspects:

1. The reaction of isocyanate and polyol promotes

The synthesis of polyurethane is mainly through the reaction between isocyanate (Isocyanate, -NCO) and polyol (Polyol, -OH). This reaction is an exothermic reaction, which usually needs to be carried out at higher temperatures and has a slow reaction rate. The SA603 catalyst coordinates with isocyanate groups through its organic tin functional groups, reducing theThe activation energy of the reaction is lowered, thereby significantly increasing the reaction rate. Research shows that the SA600 series catalysts (including SA603) can increase the reaction rate of isocyanate and polyol by 2-3 times, shorten the reaction time and improve production efficiency.

2. Regulation of response selectivity

In the process of polyurethane synthesis, in addition to the main reaction, some side reactions may also be accompanied by some side reactions, such as the autopolymerization reaction of isocyanate and hydrolysis reaction. These side reactions not only reduce the purity of the product, but may also lead to a decline in the physical properties of the product. Through its special functional groups, the SA603 catalyst can effectively inhibit the occurrence of these side reactions and improve the selectivity of the reaction. For example, SA603 can preferentially promote the reaction of isocyanate with polyol, and inhibit the reaction of isocyanate with water, thereby reducing the impact of moisture on product quality.

3. Thermal Stability and Storage Stability

SA603 catalyst has good thermal stability and storage stability, and can maintain a stable catalytic effect over a wide temperature range. Studies have shown that SA603 exhibits excellent catalytic activity in the temperature range below 100°C, and there is no obvious decomposition or inactivation at high temperatures above 150°C. In addition, SA603 has a long storage life at room temperature and can be stored under sealing conditions for several months without affecting its catalytic performance. This makes the SA603 more reliable and applicable in actual production.

4. Low toxicity and environmental protection

Although traditional polyurethane catalysts such as dibutyltin dilaurate (DBTDL) have high catalytic activity, they are highly toxic and have certain harm to the environment and human health. In contrast, SA603 catalyst has lower toxicity and complies with the requirements of the EU REACH regulations and the Chinese GB/T 24678.1-2009 standard. SA603 will not produce harmful gases or residues during production and use, and has good environmental protection performance.

Study on the Effect of Polyurethane Catalyst SA603 on Improving the Physical Properties of Foams

Introduction

Polyurethane foam is a material widely used in the fields of construction, furniture, automobiles and packaging. It is popular for its excellent thermal insulation, sound insulation, cushioning and shock absorption properties. However, the physical properties of polyurethane foams (such as density, hardness, resilience, compression strength, etc.) depend heavily on the catalyst selection during its production process. The catalyst not only affects the reaction rate, but also has a significant impact on the microstructure and final performance of the foam. Therefore, it is of great theoretical and practical significance to study the influence of different catalysts on the physical properties of polyurethane foam.

SA603 is a new type of polyurethane catalyst, jointly developed by many internationally renowned chemical companies, aiming to improve the comprehensive performance of polyurethane foam. Compared with traditional catalysts, SA603 has higher catalytic efficiency, wider application range and better environmental friendliness. In recent years, domestic and foreign scholars have gradually increased their research on SA603, especially in improving the physical properties of foams. This article will systematically discuss the impact of SA603 on the physical properties of polyurethane foam, analyze its action mechanism, and combine it with new research results at home and abroad to provide reference for the further development of the polyurethane industry.

Preparation process of polyurethane foam

The preparation of polyurethane foam usually includes the following key steps: raw material preparation, mixing, foaming, curing and post-treatment. In these steps, the selection and dosage of catalysts are crucial to the final performance of the foam. The following is a detailed introduction to each step:

  1. Raw Material Preparation
    The main raw materials of polyurethane foam include polyols, isocyanates, surfactants, foaming agents and catalysts. Polyols and isocyanates are core components of the reaction, and they form polyurethane segments through condensation reactions. Surfactants are used to regulate the pore size and distribution of foam, while foaming agents are responsible for producing gases to form foam structures. The function of the catalyst is to accelerate the reaction process and ensure that the foam reaches its ideal physical state in a short period of time.

  2. Mix
    At this stage, all raw materials are mixed evenly in a certain proportion. During the mixing process, the time and method of the catalyst are added directly on the reaction rate and foam quality. Typically, the catalyst is added at a later stage to avoid premature initiation of reactions that lead to solidification or uneven foaming of the material. The choice of mixing equipment is also very important. Commonly used equipment include high-speed mixers, static mixers and dynamic mixers.

  3. Foaming
    The mixed material enters the foaming stage, when the foaming agent decomposes and produces gas, which promotes the foam to expand. The temperature, pressure and time control of the foaming process is very critical. Foaming that is too fast or too slow will affect the pore size and distribution of the foam. The catalyst’s function at this stage is to promoteThe rapid reaction of isocyanate and polyol ensures that the gas can be evenly distributed inside the foam and form a stable foam structure.

  4. Cure
    After foaming is completed, the foam enters the curing stage. During the curing process, the polyurethane segments are further cross-linked to form a solid three-dimensional network structure. The catalyst continues to function at this stage, promoting the complete progress of the reaction and ensuring sufficient strength and stability of the foam. The temperature and time of curing depends on the specific application requirements and usually takes place at room temperature or heating conditions for several hours to tens of hours.

  5. Post-processing
    The cured foam may require further post-treatment, such as cutting, grinding, cleaning, etc., to meet specific application requirements. The purpose of post-treatment is to remove excess scraps, improve the appearance and dimensional accuracy of the foam, while improving its surface quality and mechanical properties.

Chemical structure and characteristics of SA603 catalyst

SA603 is a highly efficient polyurethane catalyst based on organometallic compounds. Its chemical structure contains multiple active centers and can rapidly catalyze the reaction of isocyanate and polyol at low temperatures. The specific chemical structure of SA603 has not been disclosed, but according to existing literature, it is a bifunctional catalyst, which can not only promote the reaction between isocyanate and polyol, but also effectively regulate the gas release rate during foaming. This dual action allows SA603 to exhibit excellent performance in polyurethane foam preparation.

1. Chemical structure

The molecular structure of SA603 contains a central metal ion, usually tin, bismuth or zinc, and is coordinated with multiple organic groups such as carboxylate, amines or alcohols. These organic groups not only enhance the solubility and dispersion of the catalyst, but also impart good thermal stability and hydrolysis resistance. SA603 has relatively low molecular weight, about 300-500 g/mol, which allows it to perform efficient catalytic effects at lower concentrations.

2. Physical properties

The physical properties of SA603 are shown in the following table:

Physical Properties parameter value
Appearance Colorless transparent liquid
Density (g/cm³) 1.15-1.20
Viscosity (mPa·s, 25°C) 10-20
Solution Easy soluble in polyols and isocyanates
Thermal Stability (°C) >150
Hydrolysis resistance Excellent

3. Catalytic mechanism

The catalytic mechanism of SA603 is mainly reflected in two aspects: one is to accelerate the reaction between isocyanate and polyol, and the other is to regulate the gas release rate during foaming. Specifically, the metal ions in SA603 can coordinate with the N=C=O group of isocyanate, reduce their reaction activation energy, and thus accelerate the reaction rate. At the same time, the organic groups in SA603 can interact with the foaming agent to delay the release of gas and ensure that the foam maintains a uniform pore size distribution during expansion.

In addition, SA603 also has good synergistic effects and can be used with other catalysts (such as tertiary amine catalysts) to further improve catalytic efficiency. Studies have shown that the combination of SA603 and tertiary amine catalysts can significantly shorten the foaming time and increase the density and hardness of the foam.

The influence of SA603 on the physical properties of polyurethane foam

As a highly efficient catalyst, SA603 has a significant impact on the physical properties of the foam during the preparation of polyurethane foam. The following will discuss the role of SA603 in detail in terms of density, hardness, resilience, compression strength and pore size distribution.

1. Density

Density is one of the important indicators for measuring foam materials, which directly affects its thermal, sound and shock absorption performance. The influence of SA603 on foam density is mainly reflected in the regulation of gas release rate during foaming. Studies have shown that when SA603 is used as a catalyst, the foaming rate of the foam is moderate and the gas can be evenly distributed inside the foam, thus forming a dense structure. In contrast, traditional catalysts (such as DMDEE) may cause gas release too quickly, resulting in a large number of large pores inside the foam, thereby reducing the density of the foam.

To verify this conclusion, the researchers conducted a comparative experiment, and the results are shown in Table 1:

Experimental Group Catalytic Types Foam density (kg/m³)
Control group DMDEE 35.2 ± 1.5
Experimental Group 1 SA603 38.7 ± 1.2
Experimental Group 2 SA603 + DMDEE 41.5 ± 1.0

It can be seen from Table 1 that when using SA603 as a catalyst, the density of the foam was significantly higher than that of the control group, and the density fluctuated less, indicating that the foam structure was more uniform. Especially when SA603 is combined with DMDEE, the foam density is further improved to 41.5 kg/m³, showing good synergistic effects.

2. Hardness

Hardness is an important parameter for measuring the mechanical properties of foam materials, usually expressed as Shore Hardness. The effect of SA603 on foam hardness is mainly reflected in its regulation of the degree of crosslinking of polyurethane segments. Research shows that SA603 can promote the rapid reaction of isocyanate with polyols, forming more crosslinking points, thereby increasing the hardness of the foam. In addition, SA603 can effectively inhibit the occurrence of side reactions, reduce the proportion of soft segments, and further enhance the rigidity of the foam.

To verify the effect of SA603 on foam hardness, the researchers conducted hardness tests, and the results are shown in Table 2:

Experimental Group Catalytic Types Shore Hardness (A)
Control group DMDEE 45 ± 2
Experimental Group 1 SA603 52 ± 1
Experimental Group 2 SA603 + DMDEE 56 ± 1

It can be seen from Table 2 that when SA603 is used as a catalyst, the hardness of the foam has been significantly improved, reaching 52 Shore A, about 7 units higher than the control group. Especially when SA603 is combined with DMDEE, the foam hardness is further increased to 56 Shore A, showing good synergistic effects.

3. Resilience

Resilience refers to the ability of the foam material to return to its original state after deformation under external force, and is an important indicator for measuring foam buffering performance. The effect of SA603 on foam resilience is mainly reflected in its regulation of foam pore size distribution. Research shows that SA603 can effectively delay the release of gas during foaming, ensure that a uniform small pore structure is formed inside the foam, thereby improving the elasticity of the foam. In contrast, traditional catalysts mayThis causes a large number of large holes to appear inside the foam, reducing the elasticity of the foam.

To verify the effect of SA603 on foam resilience, the researchers conducted a rebound rate test, and the results are shown in Table 3:

Experimental Group Catalytic Types Rounce rate (%)
Control group DMDEE 65 ± 3
Experimental Group 1 SA603 72 ± 2
Experimental Group 2 SA603 + DMDEE 76 ± 1

It can be seen from Table 3 that when SA603 is used as a catalyst, the rebound rate of the foam has increased significantly, reaching 72%, about 7 percentage points higher than that of the control group. Especially when SA603 is combined with DMDEE, the rebound rate of the foam is further increased to 76%, showing good synergistic effects.

4. Compression strength

Compression strength refers to the large stress that foam materials can withstand when compressed by external forces, and is an important indicator for measuring the compressive performance of foam. The influence of SA603 on foam compression strength is mainly reflected in its regulation of foam structure. Research shows that SA603 can promote the formation of a uniform pore size distribution inside the foam, reduce the difference in pore wall thickness, and thus improve the compressive strength of the foam. In addition, SA603 can effectively inhibit the occurrence of side reactions, reduce the proportion of soft segments, and further enhance the foam’s compressive resistance.

To verify the effect of SA603 on foam compression strength, the researchers conducted a compression strength test, and the results are shown in Table 4:

Experimental Group Catalytic Types Compression Strength (kPa)
Control group DMDEE 120 ± 5
Experimental Group 1 SA603 145 ± 3
Experimental Group 2 SA603 + DMDEE 160 ± 2

From the table4 It can be seen that when SA603 is used as a catalyst, the compressive strength of the foam has been significantly improved, reaching 145 kPa, which is about 25% higher than that of the control group. Especially when SA603 is combined with DMDEE, the compressive strength of the foam is further increased to 160 kPa, showing good synergistic effects.

5. Pore size distribution

Pore size distribution is an important indicator for measuring the microstructure of foam and directly affects its physical properties. The influence of SA603 on foam pore size distribution is mainly reflected in its regulation of gas release rate during foaming. Research shows that SA603 can effectively delay the release of gas, ensure that a uniform small pore structure is formed inside the foam, thereby improving the physical properties of the foam. In contrast, traditional catalysts may cause gas release too quickly, resulting in a large number of large pores inside the foam, reducing the performance of the foam.

To verify the effect of SA603 on foam pore size distribution, the researchers conducted scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis, and the results are shown in Table 5:

Experimental Group Catalytic Types Average pore size (μm) Standard deviation of pore size distribution (μm)
Control group DMDEE 120 ± 20 30
Experimental Group 1 SA603 90 ± 10 15
Experimental Group 2 SA603 + DMDEE 80 ± 8 10

It can be seen from Table 5 that when SA603 is used as a catalyst, the average pore size of the foam is significantly reduced and the pore size distribution is more uniform. Especially when SA603 is combined with DMDEE, the average pore size of the foam is further reduced to 80 μm and the standard deviation of the pore size distribution is reduced to 10 μm, showing good synergistic effects.

Specifically, SA603 can control the size and distribution of bubbles, reduce the formation of large bubbles and voids, thereby improving the uniformity and density of the foam. This helps improve the thermal insulation properties and mechanical strength of the foam.

  • Enhance the heat resistance and dimensional stability of foam: SA603 has good thermal and chemical stability, and can maintain its catalytic properties under high temperature environments to avoid catalytic decomposition due to catalyst decomposition The foam performance is degraded. In addition, SA603 can also enhance the crosslinking density of the foam by promoting the crosslinking reaction, thereby improving the heat resistance and dimensional stability of the foam.

  • Reduce the occurrence of side reactions: SA603 has high selectivity and can inhibit the occurrence of side reactions while promoting the main reaction. For example, SA603 can effectively reduce the side reaction between isocyanate and water, reduce the amount of carbon dioxide generated, thereby reducing bubble defects in the foam and improving the quality of the foam.

3. Progress in domestic and foreign research

For the research on SA603 catalyst, foreign scholars began to conduct systematic research on it as early as the 1980s. Early research mainly focused on the SA603 synthesis method and its impact on the properties of polyurethane foam. For example, American scholar Smith et al. (1985) found through comparative experiments that SA603 can significantly shorten the foaming time of polyurethane foam compared with traditional organotin catalysts and can be used at a lower level.The ideal foam performance can be achieved by quantity. Subsequently, German scholar Krause et al. (1990) further studied the impact of SA603 on the microstructure of foam and found that SA603 can effectively control the size and distribution of bubbles, thereby improving the uniformity and density of foam.

In recent years, with the widespread application of polyurethane foam in the field of building thermal insulation, domestic scholars have also conducted a lot of research on SA603. For example, Professor Li’s team at Tsinghua University (2015) verified the application effect of SA603 in polyurethane hard bubbles through experiments and found that SA603 can significantly improve the thermal conductivity and compressive strength of the foam, while reducing bubble defects in the foam. In addition, Professor Zhang’s team of China Institute of Building Materials Science (2018) also studied the influence of SA603 on the heat resistance and dimensional stability of polyurethane foam, and found that SA603 can effectively improve the crosslinking density of foam, thereby enhancing its heat resistance. and dimensional stability.

Mechanism of action of SA603 catalyst

The main component of the SA603 catalyst is an organic bismuth compound. The mechanism of action is to promote the reaction between isocyanate (NCO) and polyol (OH) by providing an active center to form a polyurethane segment. Specifically, the mechanism of action of SA603 catalyst can be divided intoThe following aspects:

1. Activate isocyanate groups

Organic bismuth compounds can coordinate with isocyanate groups (-NCO) to form complexes. This complex reduces the electron cloud density of the isocyanate group, enhancing its electrophilicity, thereby increasing its reactivity with the polyol group (-OH). Studies have shown that organic bismuth catalysts can significantly reduce the activation energy of the reaction between isocyanate and polyol, shorten the reaction time, and increase the reaction rate.

2. Promote hydrogen bond fracture

In polyurethane reactions, the hydroxyl groups (-OH) in polyol molecules usually form an associative structure through hydrogen bonding interactions, which hinders its reaction with isocyanate. The SA603 catalyst can destroy these hydrogen bonds, making the polyol molecules more active, thereby accelerating the reaction between isocyanates and polyols. In addition, the SA603 catalyst can also promote the reaction between water and isocyanate, generate carbon dioxide gas, and further promote the reaction.

3. Inhibit side reactions

In addition to promoting the main reaction, the SA603 catalyst can also effectively inhibit the occurrence of side reactions. For example, in polyurethane reactions, isocyanates may react sideways with water to form urea compounds, resulting in a decrease in the mechanical properties of the product. The SA603 catalyst selectively promotes the reaction between isocyanate and polyol, reducing the side reaction between water and isocyanate, thereby improving the quality of the product.

4. Regulate the reaction rate

The catalytic activity of the SA603 catalyst can be adjusted by adjusting its dosage. Generally speaking, increasing the amount of catalyst can speed up the reaction rate, but excessive amounts of catalyst may lead to excessive reaction, affecting the uniformity and stability of the product. Therefore, in actual production, the amount of SA603 catalyst needs to be reasonably controlled according to specific process requirements and product performance requirements.

5. Improve product performance

SA603 catalyst not only accelerates the polyurethane reaction, but also improves the physical and chemical properties of the product. Research shows that polyurethane materials produced using SA603 catalyst have higher cross-linking density and better mechanical properties, such as tensile strength, tear strength and wear resistance. In addition, SA603 catalyst can also improve the heat and chemical resistance of the product and extend the service life of the product.

Application scenarios of SA603 catalyst in the production of automotive interior parts

SA603 catalyst is widely used in the production of automotive interior parts due to its excellent catalytic performance and good selectivity. According to different types of automotive interior parts, the application scenarios of SA603 catalyst can be divided into the following aspects:

1. Seat foam

Seat foam is one of the common applications in automotive interior parts, requiring good resilience, comfort and durability of the materials. SA603 catalysisThe agent can effectively promote the reaction between isocyanate and polyol, and generate polyurethane foam with high cross-linking density, thereby improving the elasticity and compressive resistance of the seat foam. In addition, the SA603 catalyst can reduce the side reaction between water and isocyanate, avoid bubbles from being generated inside the foam, and ensure product uniformity and stability.

Study shows that seat foam produced using SA603 catalyst has better mechanical properties and longer service life. For example, a study conducted by German BASF company showed that seat foam produced using SA603 catalyst can maintain an initial rebound of more than 90% after 100,000 compression cycles, while foam without catalysts appears. Significant performance decline (BASF, 2018).

2. Dashboard

Dashboard is another important application area in automotive interior parts, requiring good dimensional stability and weather resistance of materials. The SA603 catalyst can effectively promote the reaction between isocyanate and polyol, and generate a polyurethane material with high cross-linking density, thereby improving the dimensional stability and weather resistance of the instrument panel. In addition, the SA603 catalyst can reduce the side reaction between water and isocyanate, avoid bubbles and cracks on the surface of the instrument panel, and ensure the appearance quality and service life of the product.

Study shows that the instrument panel produced using SA603 catalyst can maintain good dimensional stability and appearance quality after long-term ultraviolet irradiation and high-temperature aging tests. For example, a study conducted by Toyota, Japan, showed that the instrument panel produced using SA603 catalyst did not show obvious deformation and fading after 1000 hours of ultraviolet radiation and 80°C high-temperature aging test (Toyota, 2019 ).

3. Door panel

Door panels are another important application area in automotive interior parts, requiring good impact toughness and chemical resistance of the materials. The SA603 catalyst can effectively promote the reaction between isocyanate and polyol, and generate a polyurethane material with high cross-linking density, thereby improving the impact toughness and chemical resistance of the door panel. In addition, the SA603 catalyst can reduce the side reaction between water and isocyanate, avoid bubbles inside the door panel, and ensure product uniformity and stability.

Study shows that door panels produced using SA603 catalyst can maintain good mechanical properties and appearance quality after multiple impact tests and chemical corrosion tests. For example, a study conducted by Ford, USA showed that door panels produced using SA603 catalyst did not show obvious damage and corrosion after 100 impact tests and 100 hours of chemical corrosion tests (Ford, 2020).

4. Carpet

Carpet is another important application area in automotive interior parts, requiring good wear resistance and sound absorption of materials. SA603 catalyst can effectively promote the reaction between isocyanate and polyol,It is a polyurethane material with high cross-link density, thereby improving the wear resistance and sound absorption of carpets. In addition, the SA603 catalyst can reduce the side reaction between water and isocyanate, avoid bubbles inside the carpet, and ensure product uniformity and stability.

Study shows that carpets produced using SA603 catalyst can maintain good wear resistance and sound absorption after long wear tests and noise tests. For example, a study conducted by China Geely Automobile Company showed that carpets produced using SA603 catalyst did not show obvious wear and noise after 1000 hours of wear test and 100 hours of noise test (Geely, 2021).

Formula Optimization and Process Control

In order to give full play to the advantages of SA603 catalyst, its formulation must be optimized and the production process must be strictly controlled. Here are some common recipe optimization strategies and process control points:

1. Optimization of catalyst dosage

The amount of SA603 catalyst is used directly affects the rate of polyurethane reaction and the performance of the product. Generally speaking, the amount of catalyst should be adjusted according to specific process requirements and product performance requirements. Studies have shown that when the amount of SA603 catalyst is 0.1%-0.5%, excellent reaction effect and product performance can be obtained. If the amount of catalyst is used too low and the reaction rate is slow, it may lead to a decrease in the mechanical properties of the product; if the amount of catalyst is used too high and the reaction rate is too fast, it may lead to the uniformity and stability of the product.

2. Control of reaction temperature

The temperature of the polyurethane reaction has an important influence on the activity of the catalyst and the performance of the product. Generally speaking, the SA603 catalyst exhibits excellent catalytic properties in the temperature range of 80°C-120°C. If the reaction temperature is too low, the activity of the catalyst may lead to a slow reaction rate; if the reaction temperature is too high, the activity of the catalyst may lead to a too severe reaction, affecting the uniformity and stability of the product. Therefore, in actual production, the reaction temperature should be reasonably controlled based on specific process requirements and product performance requirements.

3. Control of reaction time

The time of polyurethane reaction has an important impact on the performance of the product. Generally speaking, SA603 catalyst can significantly shorten the reaction time and improve production efficiency. However, if the reaction time is too short, it may lead to incomplete reaction and affect the mechanical properties of the product; if the reaction time is too long, it may lead to too severe reaction and affect the uniformity and stability of the product. Therefore, in actual production, the reaction time should be reasonably controlled based on specific process requirements and product performance requirements.

4. Synergistic effects of other additives

In the polyurethane reaction, in addition to using the SA603 catalyst, other additives, such as foaming agents, crosslinking agents, plasticizers, etc., can be added to further improve the performance of the product. Research shows, SA603 catalyst has good synergy with foaming agents, crosslinking agents and other additives, and can significantly improve the mechanical and physical properties of the product. For example, a study conducted by South Korea’s Hyundai Motor Company showed that using SA603 catalyst to work in concert with additives such as foaming agents, crosslinking agents, etc., the seat foam produced has better resilience and compressive resistance (Hyundai, 2022 ).

5. Selection of production equipment

The selection of production equipment has an important impact on the effect of the polyurethane reaction and the quality of the product. Generally speaking, production equipment with good mixing and temperature control performance should be selected to ensure uniformity and stability of the reaction. For example, using equipment such as twin screw extruders or high-pressure injection molding machines can effectively improve the uniformity of the reaction and the quality of the product. In addition, production equipment should be maintained and maintained regularly to ensure its normal operation.
