MXC-TMA

MXC-TMA is a specialized trimerization catalyst specifically engineered for all types of polyisocyanurate (PIR) foam systems. Presenting as a colorless to light yellow transparent liquid, it plays a critical role in promoting the formation of isocyanurate rings, which significantly enhances the thermal stability and fire-resistant properties of the foam. Typically used in synergy with standard polyurethane-type catalysts, MXC-TMA allows for precise control over the reaction kinetics, ensuring a balanced curing process in complex PIR formulations.

For technical specialists, the analytical specifications of MXC-TMA are vital for maintaining production consistency. It features an amine value of min. 160 mgKOH/g and a carefully controlled acid value of max. 9 mgKOH/g. The material’s viscosity is 190 at 25°C, facilitating ease of blending in industrial mixing equipment. With a maximum water content of 2% and a color index of max. 100 APHA, this catalyst provides the high-purity profile necessary for high-performance rigid foam applications where clarity and structural integrity are paramount.

Due to its chemical nature, proper handling and storage of MXC-TMA are essential for preserving its catalytic efficacy. It is packaged in 200kgs net steel drums and should be kept tightly sealed in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated environment. Protecting the product from moisture and extreme temperatures is crucial to prevent degradation and ensure a reliable shelf life of one year. As a key component in the production of advanced insulation materials, MXC-TMA remains a preferred choice for manufacturers focusing on high-quality polyisocyanurate foam production.
