Q1: What is the CAS Registry Number for San-Apro U-CAT SA506?
A: The CAS Number is 2278219-47-2. This identifier applies to the primary active quaternary ammonium compound in the formulation.
Q2: What is the recommended dosage range in epoxy systems?
A: Typical loading is 0.5–2.0 wt% relative to resin solids. Optimal dosage depends on desired gel time, final cure temperature, and system viscosity—validation via DSC and rheometry is advised.
Q3: How does SA506 compare to traditional DMP-30 or BDMA in terms of latency and migration?
A: Unlike liquid tertiary amines (e.g., DMP-30), SA506 exhibits superior latency at ambient temperatures and negligible volatility or migration during storage and processing—critical for high-reliability electronic encapsulants.
Q4: Is SA506 compliant with FDA 21 CFR §175.300 for indirect food contact applications?
A: While not FDA-listed itself, SA506 is formulated to meet extraction limits specified in FDA 21 CFR §175.300 when used ≤1.5 wt% in fully cured epoxy coatings—supporting documentation available under NDA.
Q5: What is the expected level of residual extractables after full thermal cure?
A: GC-MS analysis shows <0.05% residual SA506 and <0.01% total volatile decomposition byproducts in fully cured (180 °C × 60 min) epoxy systems per ASTM D1353.
