Clariant HyProGen R-70 Catalyst – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary function of HyProGen R-70 in polyurethane systems?

A: HyProGen R-70 is a highly selective amine-based catalyst designed to promote urethane bond formation (reaction between isocyanates and polyols) while minimizing side reactions such as trimerization or urea formation. It supports balanced reactivity for improved processing control and final part performance.


Q2: Is HyProGen R-70 suitable for low-emission or automotive-grade PU foam applications?

A: Yes — HyProGen R-70 is formulated to support low-VOC and low-odor PU foam production. Its high catalytic efficiency allows for reduced overall amine loadings, contributing to lower residual amine content and improved emissions profiles in demanding applications such as automotive seating and interior trim.


Q3: How does HyProGen R-70 compare to traditional tertiary amine catalysts in terms of storage stability and handling?

A: HyProGen R-70 exhibits enhanced hydrolytic stability and reduced volatility compared to many conventional liquid tertiary amines. It remains homogeneous in typical polyol blends and shows minimal tendency to separate or crystallize under standard storage conditions, supporting consistent metering and long-term formulation integrity.


Q4: Can HyProGen R-70 be used in combination with other catalysts?

A: Yes — HyProGen R-70 is commonly blended with complementary catalysts (e.g., gelling or blowing agents) to fine-tune reactivity profiles. Compatibility should be verified empirically in the target formulation, but it demonstrates good miscibility with standard polyol-compatible catalysts and surfactants.
