1. Introduction
Waterproof sealants play a crucial role in modern architecture, automobiles, electronics and other fields. With the increase of environmental awareness, waterproof sealants with low odor, low volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have gradually become the mainstream demand in the market. As a highly efficient and environmentally friendly catalyst, the low-odor catalyst DPA (Diphenylamine) is increasingly widely used in waterproof sealants. This article will discuss in detail the application cases, advantages, challenges and future development trends of DPA in waterproof sealants.
2. Overview of DPA of Low Odor Catalyst
2.1 Basic properties of DPA
DPA is an organic compound with the chemical formula C12H11N and a molecular weight of 169.22 g/mol. It is a colorless to light yellow crystal with a lower volatility and odor. DPA is stable at room temperature, but will decompose at high temperatures.
2.2 Catalytic mechanism of DPA
DPA, as a catalyst, mainly reacts with the active groups in the reactants by reacting mainly through the reaction of amine groups (-NH2) in its molecules, thereby accelerating the reaction rate. In waterproof sealants, DPA promotes the formation of polyurethane mainly by reacting with isocyanate (-NCO) groups.
