Ege Kimya, founded in 1955, are a Turkish manufacturer of intermediate chemicals across a variety of sectors, including polyurethane catalysts for CASE and rigid foams. They are certified to various international standards for quality & environmental management systems, including ISO 9001 and 14001.
Through continuous investment in technology, Ege Kimya have accumulated a wealth of technical experience since their inception, and are particularly focused on developing products which minimise harmful effects to human safety & the environment.
EGECat® Bismuth Catalysts
Lower toxicity, environmentally friendly alternatives to tin, lead, and mercury catalysts for the curing of polyurethanes. They can be used as a co-catalyst with a tertiary amine to accelerate the urethane reaction and presents a gradual increase of the viscosity (no induction period of low viscosity as observed with mercury).
EGECat® Potassium Catalysts
Potassium carboxylate solutions in diethylene glycol, designed to promote the isocyanurate reaction in a wide range of rigid foam applications.
EGECat® Zinc Crosslinker
Used to support back-end curing when used with bismuth catalysts. When used in combination with DBTDL there is an improvement in solvent resistance and film hardness.
EGECat® Zinc/Bismuth Catalyst
A combination of Zn/Bi carboxylates. It balances efficient crosslinking, tack free surface, reduced gassing, fewer pinholes, higher gloss and longer pot life.
