Efficient application of low-odor foam gel balance catalyst in waterproof sealant

Introduction

Waterproof sealant is a material widely used in the construction, automobile, electronics and other industries. Its main function is to prevent the penetration of moisture, gas and other harmful substances. With the increase of environmental awareness, low-odor and high-efficiency waterproof sealants have gradually become the mainstream demand in the market. This article will introduce in detail the application of low-odor foam gel balance catalyst in waterproof sealants, including its working principle, product parameters, application cases and future development trends.

1. Overview of low-odor foam gel balance catalyst

1.1 Definition and Features

Low odor foaming gel balance catalyst is a new type of chemical additive, mainly used to adjust the foaming process and gel time of waterproof sealants. Its core features include:

Low Odor: Compared with traditional catalysts, the low-odor foam gel balance catalyst produces significantly less volatile organic compounds (VOCs) during the reaction, which meets environmental protection requirements.
High performance: Can quickly and evenly catalyze foaming reactions, improving the physical properties of waterproof sealants.
Stability: It can maintain a stable catalytic effect in harsh environments such as high temperature and high humidity.

1.2 Working principle

The low-odor foaming gel balance catalyst realizes uniform foaming and rapid curing of the waterproof sealant by adjusting the reaction rate of the foaming agent and the gel agent. Its working principle mainly includes the following steps:

Foaming stage: The catalyst accelerates the decomposition of the foaming agent, produces a large number of bubbles, and forms a porous structure.
Gel Stage: The catalyst regulates the cross-linking reaction of the gel agent, stabilizes the bubble structure and forms a solid gel network.
Equilibrium phase: The catalyst ensures the balance between the foaming and gel process and avoids excessive foaming or insufficient gel.
