Dabco SI3202 >65 110 1.00 Emulsion 129 Dabco SI3202 provides very efficient emulsification and wide processing latitude. Performs exceptionally well used in combination with Dabco SI3201 in rigid polyurethane PUR and PIR foams.

Dabco SI3501 >65 400 1.04 Insoluble 0 Surfactant for use in one component foam (OCF), polyurethane (PUR) and polyisocyanurate (PIR) lamination systems. In OCF application, Dabco SI3501 will stabilize the foam structure and assist greatly in prepolymer compatibility. In rigid lamination systems, it has shown to improve lambda values compared to conventional surfactants.

Dabco LK-221 > 101 2,800 1.01 Insoluble 42 Promotes excellent emulsification and degassing in a variety of foam applications. Improves butanediol emulsification and developed to promote adhesion in dual-density shoe sole applications. Can be used as co-surfactant with Dabco DC193.

Dabco LK-443 115 2,600 1.01 Insoluble 36 Widely applicable in rigid and flexible systems; developed to promote excellent surface quality. Excellent hydrolytic stability and cell stabilization. In rigid molded applications, used as a co-surfactant with Dabco DC193.

Dabco BA100 >200 2,300 1.10 Partially Soluble 214 Low-corrosive, reactive blocking agent for flexible molded and slabstock foam applications. Product forms an “in-situ” non-emissive blocking agent when added to the foaming reaction.

Dabco BA150 200 ~390 1.15 Partially Soluble 994 A non-emissive, hydrolytically stable blocking agent that delays reaction to improve flow while maintaining back end cure. It is commonly utilized with non-emissive and reduced-emission catalysts such as the Dabco NE and Dabco RE series.

Dabco CL420 195 250 0.94 Partially Soluble 420 Crosslinking additive for MDI and TDI flexible molded foams. Improves humid aged properties compared with standard crosslinkers, especially with non-fugitive catalysts such as the Dabco NE series.

Dabco DEOA-LF >172 120 1.09 Soluble 1,374 Industry standard crosslinker for high-resiliency (HR) flexible slabstock and flexible molded foams. 15% water to reduce the freezing point.

Dabco EM400 152 49 0.98 Partially Soluble 424 An emulsifier designed for low-density, water-blown, open cell spray polyurethane foam. Free of nonylphenol ethoxylates.
