Niax™ catalyst EF-700

Niax™ catalyst EF-700 by Momentive is a low odor tertiary amine. The non-volatile nature of this amine is the result of molecular design and high molecular weight. As such this amine is not expected to adversely affect typical foam physical properties. The first application considered for this blow catalyst was in automotive seat molded foams where interior fogging and emissions must be minimized. This new amine catalyst also may be a candidate for consideration in flexible slabstock applications where it can substitute for conventional, volatile, blow amine when emissions need to be reduced. It is an effective blow amine that can be used to control cream time during manufacture of polyurethane flexible foams. Niax™ catalyst EF-700 by Momentive is designed to minimize or eliminate amine emissions in automobile interiors.
