Compatible Systems Of San-Apro U-CAT SA810 Thermal Base Generator

Common Compatible SystemsSuitability
DGEBA-type epoxy resins (e.g., EPON™ 828, YD-128)Highly Recommended – Rapid gel time control above 140 °C; minimal post-cure shrinkage
Cycloaliphatic epoxy resins (e.g., ERL-4221, UVR-6110)Recommended – Enhanced UV stability synergy; requires 150–160 °C activation
Epoxy-novolac resins (e.g., DEN-431, ECN-1273)Suitable – Effective for high-Tg applications; may require co-catalyst for <130 °C cure profiles
Polymercaptan-epoxy hybrid systemsSuitable – Enables dual-cure latency; improves pot life without sacrificing final hardness

San-Apro U-CAT SA810 Thermal Base Generator – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the CAS Registry Number for San-Apro U-CAT SA810?

A: The CAS Registry Number is 2209195-67-2.


Q2: What is the recommended dosage range in epoxy formulations?

A: Typical loading is 0.5–2.0 phr (parts per hundred resin), depending on epoxy functionality, desired gel time, and final Tg requirements. Optimization via DSC is advised.


Q3: How does SA810 compare to conventional DBU-based or imidazole catalysts?

A: SA810 offers superior thermal latency below 130 °C and negligible volatility versus DBU, while providing broader processing windows and lower moisture sensitivity than standard imidazoles.


Q4: Is SA810 compliant with food-contact regulations (e.g., FDA 21 CFR or EU 10/2011)?

A: SA810 is not approved for direct food-contact applications. It is intended for industrial and electronic uses only; migration testing data is not available for food-contact compliance.


Q5: Does SA810 generate extractable amines or ionic residues after full cure?

A: No—SA810 decomposes thermally into non-ionic, non-extractable byproducts; residual ion content (Na⁺, Cl⁻, K⁺) is <5 ppm as measured by IC analysis in fully cured epoxy films.
