Autocatalytic polyols help reduce VOC emissions

Dow’s amine-based polyols are designed to be autocatalytic. They require less catalyst to achieve the same reactivity, helping reduce emissions from volatile catalysts and improve curing for better processing and article green strength. Typical applications include flexible and rigid foams as well as castings.
