CYCAT 600

CYCAT® 600 is a strong acid catalyst based on dodecylbenzene sulfonic acid supplied in isopropanol. Supplied as a free acid, it is recommended to accelerate the crosslinking reaction of amino resins with polymers containing hydroxyl, carboxyl or carbamate functionality. CYCAT® 600 catalyst is soluble in aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, esters, ketones, alcohols, glycol ethers and water. It may be used as a replacement for less soluble acid catalysts, such as para-toluene sulfonic acid, in low alcohol-containing finishes. Blocked versions are available for 1K thermoset systems offering excellent formulated package stability. This product can be used in food contact applications.
