Clariant ISOXYL MPH Series Catalyst – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary function of the ISOXYL MPH Series in polyurethane systems?

A: The ISOXYL MPH Series is a highly selective amine-based catalyst designed to promote the urethane reaction (isocyanate–polyol coupling) while minimizing side reactions such as trimerization or urea formation—enabling precise control over gel time, foam rise profile, and final cell structure in flexible and semi-rigid PU foams.


Q2: How does ISOXYL MPH differ from traditional tertiary amine catalysts like DABCO® 33-LV?

A: Unlike conventional cyclic or aliphatic tertiary amines, ISOXYL MPH catalysts feature a tailored molecular architecture that delivers enhanced hydrolytic stability, reduced volatility, and improved compatibility with sensitive raw materials—resulting in more consistent processing behavior and lower odor potential in finished foam products.


Q3: Is ISOXYL MPH suitable for low-emission or automotive-grade foam applications?

A: Yes—ISOXYL MPH catalysts are formulated to support low-VOC and low-odor foam manufacturing, making them well-suited for interior automotive components and other demanding applications where stringent emissions requirements apply. Performance should be validated within the full system formulation and curing conditions.


Q4: What is the typical dosage range for ISOXYL MPH in foam formulations?

A: Dosage is formulation-dependent but generally ranges from 0.1% to 2% by weight relative to polyol, with optimal levels determined through lab-scale optimization to balance reactivity, flow, and physical properties.
