CYCAT® 4045 is a catalyst used in coatings to accelerate the cure response of amino crosslinking resins. It is an amine-blocked para-toluene sulfonic acid catalyst supplied in ethylene glycol. Here are some key details about CYCAT® 4045:
Product Description: CYCAT® 4045 is recommended for accelerating the cure response of amino crosslinking resins while providing improved formulation package stability compared with un-blocked para-toluene sulfonic acid catalysts. It is especially recommended for use with highly alkylated amino crosslinking resins. It provides excellent stability in high solids and waterborne systems.

Application Areas:
Physical/Certified Properties:
Solubility:
CYCAT® 4045 catalyst is soluble in oxygenated solvents such as alcohols, glycols, glycol ethers, and water. It has limited solubility in ketones, esters, and hydrocarbon solvents.
Catalyst Addition:
It is suggested to dilute CYCAT® 4045 approximately 1:1 with an alcohol before adding it to the final formulation to prevent recrystallization of the acid.
Recommended Levels:
The recommended catalyst levels vary based on the type of polymer and curing temperature.
Storage:
CYCAT® 4045 catalyst has a shelf life of 720 days when stored in original unopened containers at temperatures up to 32°C.
Safety and Handling:
Consult the Safety Data Sheet for safety, health, and environmental data. For industrial use only.
