Abstract
Catalysis of cure reaction between N‐methylaniline‐blocked polyisocyanate and hydroxyl‐terminated polybutadiene was investigated using a variety of tertiary amine and organotin catalysts. The catalytic activity of amine and organotin compounds was determined from the cure‐time results. It was found that the activity of the catalyst depends upon the steric constrain around the catalytic center. The organotin compounds showed higher catalytic activity than the amine catalysts. FTIR results obtained under isothermal condition revealed that DABCO selectively catalyze the urethane formation reaction, whereas DBTDL catalyze both the allophanate formation and urethane formation reactions during curing process. The synergistic effect of amine and organotin mixed catalysts on the cure reaction was also investigated.
