Isocyanates react with compounds that have active hydrogens. For example, in coating applications, isocyanates are typically reacted with polyols to form polyurethanes, or with primary and secondary amines to form polyureas. Catalysis of the polyol/isocyanate reaction, which is often required to develop sufficient cure response, can be achieved with a variety of compounds.

A Safer Alternative Takes the Pressure out of Formulating Pressure-Sensitive Adhesives

A Safer Alternative Takes the Pressure out of Formulating Pressure-Sensitive Adhesives
