Similarities and differences with similar products

Polycat 12 is similar to other tertiary amine catalysts, such as Polycat 33 and Polycat 8. However, Polycat 12 is a weaker catalyst than Polycat 33 and Polycat 8. This means that foam curing takes longer when Polycat 12 is used. Polycat 12 is also less effective at producing high-density foam. However, Polycat 12 is less corrosive to metals than Polycat 33 and Polycat 8.

Overall, Polycat 12 is ideal for applications that require low-odor catalysts and do not require fast curing times.
