K-KAT XC-B221 is an experimental bismuth carboxylate catalyst designed for blocked isocyanate and two component urethane coatings. It is a bismuth catalyst that can provide similar properties to standard tin catalysts without the environmental drawbacks.
ADVANTAGES:
Can be used in ambient, force dry and bake systems
Excellent gloss retention
Excellent exterior durability
TYPICAL PROPERTIES:
Appearance: Clear, straw liquid
% Active (metal carboxylate): 100
% Metal: 20
Specific gravity, 25°C: 1.18 g/ml
SOLUBILITY:
Soluble in methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, butanol, glycol ethers, glycol ether acetates, aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons. Insoluble in water.
APPLICATIONS:
K-KAT XC-B221 is recommended for 2K and blocked isocyanate coatings. K-KAT XC-B221 can replace many heavy metal and/or toxic catalysts used in the production of urethane elastomers, foams and coatings. K-KAT XC-B221 is especially effective in cationic electro-coatings based on blocked isocyanates.
TYPICAL USAGE LEVELS:
One component formulations based on blocked isocyanates generally require higher catalyst levels than 2-component (2K) systems. Levels of 0.5 -2.0% K-KAT XC-B221 as supplied by weight on resin solids should be used with blocked isocyanates while 0.03 - 0.1% is recommended for 2K coatings.
