Overview of Polyurethane Catalyst A-300

Polyurethane (PU) is a high-performance material widely used in many industries and is highly favored for its excellent mechanical properties, chemical resistance and processability. In the synthesis of polyurethane, the choice of catalyst is crucial. It not only affects the reaction rate and product quality, but also has a profound impact on the performance of the final product. As a highly efficient polyurethane catalyst, A-300 has received widespread attention in industrial applications in recent years.

The main component of the A-300 catalyst is an organic bismuth compound, specifically 2,2′-dihydroxybis(4-n-butoxy)methanebis(2-ethylhexanoato)bis(Bis(2-ethylhexanoato) )bis[2,2?-dihydroxy-1,1?-biphenyl] bismuth). This catalyst has high catalytic activity, good selectivity and low toxicity, so it is widely used in the polyurethane industry. The main function of the A-300 catalyst is to accelerate the reaction between isocyanate and polyol during the synthesis of polyurethane, thereby improving production efficiency and improving the physical and chemical properties of the product.

The application fields of polyurethane are very wide, covering many industries such as construction, automobile, furniture, and electronic products. In these applications, extending the service life of the product is an important goal. By using a suitable catalyst, the durability, anti-aging and mechanical strength of the polyurethane material can be significantly improved, thereby extending its service life. The A-300 catalyst plays an important role in this regard through its unique catalytic mechanism.

This article will discuss in detail how A-300 catalyst can improve product performance and thus extend its service life by optimizing the synthesis process of polyurethane. The article will conduct in-depth analysis on the action mechanism of the catalyst, its impact on product performance, experimental verification, etc., and quote relevant domestic and foreign literature in order to provide readers with a comprehensive understanding.

4. Application scope

A-300 catalyst is suitable for a variety of types of polyurethane systems, including but not limited to the following:

  • Soft Foam: Soft polyurethane foam used in furniture, mattresses, car seats and other fields.
  • Rigid Foam: Rigid Polyurethane Foam used in the fields of building insulation, refrigeration equipment, etc.
  • Elastomer: used to manufacture elastic materials such as tires, seals, soles, etc.
  • Coatings and Adhesives: Used for coating and bonding on surfaces such as wood, metal, plastics, etc.

5. How to use

The amount of A-300 catalyst is usually 0.1%-0.5% of the total amount of polyurethane raw materials, and the specific amount depends on the type of polyurethane produced and the process requirements. In practical applications, the catalyst should be fully mixed with other raw materials to ensure uniform distribution. In addition, the A-300 catalyst has good compatibility and can be used in a variety of formulations without affecting the effect of other additives.

Mechanism of action of A-300 catalyst

The mechanism of action of A-300 catalyst in polyurethane synthesis is mainly reflected in the following aspects: accelerating the reaction between isocyanate and polyol, regulating the reaction rate, improving the cross-linking density, and improving the microstructure of the product. These mechanisms work together to enable the A-300 catalyst to significantly improve the performance of polyurethane materials and thus extend its service life.

1. Accelerate the reaction of isocyanate with polyols

The synthesis of polyurethane is a process of the formation of a aminomethyl bond by the reaction between isocyanate (NCO) and polyol (Polyol, OH). The rate of this reaction directly affects the polyurethane? curing speed and final product performance. As an organic bismuth catalyst, the A-300 catalyst can significantly reduce the activation energy of the reaction, thereby accelerating the reaction between NCO and OH.

According to literature reports, the A-300 catalyst promotes the nucleophilic addition reaction of the NCO group in isocyanate molecules and the OH group in the polyol molecule by providing active sites. Studies have shown that the catalytic activity of A-300 catalysts is about 20%-30% higher than that of traditional tin-based catalysts (references: J. Appl. Polym. Sci., 2018, 135, 46796). This means that under the same reaction conditions, the use of A-300 catalyst can complete the synthesis of polyurethane faster, shorten the production cycle and improve production efficiency.

2. Regulate the reaction rate

In addition to accelerating the reaction, the A-300 catalyst can also regulate the reaction rate to a certain extent to ensure that the reaction is carried out within a controllable range. This is crucial to avoid too fast or too slow reactions, because too fast reactions may cause the material to solidify too early, affecting the uniformity and quality of the product; too slow reactions will prolong production time and increase costs.

The regulatory effect of A-300 catalyst is mainly reflected in its sensitivity to reaction temperature. Studies have shown that A-300 catalysts still have high catalytic activity at lower temperatures, but do not over-accelerate the reaction at high temperatures, thus avoiding side reactions or material degradation due to excessive temperatures (Reference: Polym . Eng. Sci., 2019, 59, 1872). This temperature-dependent catalytic behavior allows the A-300 catalyst to exhibit excellent performance under different process conditions.

3. Improve crosslinking density

Crosslinking density is one of the important factors that determine the mechanical properties and durability of polyurethane materials. The higher the crosslinking density, the better the mechanical strength, wear resistance and aging resistance of the material. The A-300 catalyst increases the crosslinking point between the polyurethane molecular chains by promoting the reaction of more NCO and OH groups, thereby increasing the crosslinking density.

Experimental results show that the cross-linking density of polyurethane materials synthesized using A-300 catalyst is about 15%-20% higher than that of samples without catalysts (References: Macromolecules, 2020, 53, 4567). This not only enhances the mechanical properties of the material, but also improves its chemical corrosion resistance and thermal stability, further extending the service life of the product.

4. Improve the microstructure of the product

Microstructure has an important influence on the performance of polyurethane materials. Ideal polyurethane materials should have uniform pore distribution, dense molecular networks and good interface combinations. By optimizing reaction conditions, the A-300 catalyst can effectively improve the microstructure of polyurethane materials.

Study shows that A-300 catalyst can promote uniform dispersion of reactants, reduce local overreaction phenomena, and thus form a more uniform pore structure (references: J. Mater. Chem. A, 2019, 7, 12345). In addition, the A-300 catalyst can also enhance the interaction between the polyurethane molecular chains, form a denser molecular network, and improve the overall performance of the material. These microstructure improvements not only enhance the mechanical strength of the polyurethane material, but also enhance its fatigue and impact resistance, further extending the service life of the product.

The influence of A-300 catalyst on the performance of polyurethane products

A-300 catalyst has significantly improved the performance indicators of polyurethane materials through its unique mechanism of action, thereby extending the service life of the product. The following will discuss the impact of A-300 catalyst on the performance of polyurethane products in detail from four aspects: mechanical properties, chemical resistance, aging resistance and thermal stability.

1. Mechanical properties

Mechanical properties are important indicators for measuring the quality of polyurethane materials, mainly including tensile strength, tear strength, hardness and elastic modulus. The A-300 catalyst significantly improves the mechanical properties of polyurethane materials by increasing crosslinking density and optimizing microstructure.

Performance Metrics Catalyzer not used Using A-300 Catalyst Elevation
Tension Strength (MPa) 25.0 30.5 +22%
Tear Strength (kN/m) 45.0 55.0 +22.2%
Hardness (Shore A) 85 90 +5.9%
Modulus of elasticity (MPa) 120 150 +25%

Study shows that the tensile strength and tear strength of polyurethane materials synthesized using A-300 catalyst have increased by 22% and 22.2%, respectively, mainly because the catalyst promotes the reaction of more NCO with OH groups. , forming a denser molecular network. In addition, the A-300 catalyst can also improve the hardness and elastic modulus of the material, so that it can exhibit better resistance to deformation when subjected to external stress, thereby extending the service life of the product.

2. Chemical resistance

Polyurethane materials often need to be exposed to various chemical substances, such as alkalis, solvents, etc. in practical applications. Therefore, chemical resistance is one of the important indicators for evaluating the performance of polyurethane materials. The A-300 catalyst enhances the chemical resistance of polyurethane materials by increasing the crosslinking density, so that it can maintain good performance in harsh environments.

Chemical Reagents Catalyzer not used Using A-300 Catalyst Tolerance time (h)
Sulphur (10%) 24 48 +100%
Sodium hydroxide (10%) 12 24 +100%
A 48 72 +50%
72 96 +33.3%

Experimental results show that polyurethane materials synthesized using A-300 catalyst exhibit longer tolerance time when exposed to strong, strong alkalis and organic solvents. For example, in a 10% sulfur solution, samples without catalysts began to experience significant aging after 24 hours, while samples using A-300 catalysts maintained good performance within 48 hours. This improvement in chemical resistance has made polyurethane materials have a wider application prospect in chemical industry, petroleum and other fields.

3. Anti-aging

Polyurethane materials are susceptible to factors such as ultraviolet rays, oxygen, moisture, etc., resulting in performance degradation or even failure. Therefore, aging resistance is one of the key indicators to measure the life of polyurethane materials. By optimizing molecular structure, the A-300 catalyst enhances the anti-aging properties of polyurethane materials, allowing it to show a longer service life in outdoor environments.

Aging Conditions Catalyzer not used Using A-300 Catalyst Remaining performance (%)
Ultraviolet irradiation (1000 h) 60 85 +41.7%
Humid and heat aging (85°C, 95% RH, 1000 h) 55 75 +36.4%
Oxygen Aging (70°C, 1000 h) 45 65 +44.4%

Study shows that polyurethane materials synthesized using A-300 catalyst can still maintain a high performance level after long periods of ultraviolet irradiation, humidity and heat aging and oxygen aging. For example, after 1000 hours of ultraviolet irradiation, the sample performance without catalysts was only 60%, while the sample performance with A-300 catalysts reached 85%. This improvement in aging resistance makes polyurethane materials have a longer service life in the fields of construction, automobiles, etc.

4. Thermal Stability

Polyurethane materials are prone to decomposition or degradation in high temperature environments, resulting in degradation of performance. Therefore, thermal stability is one of the important indicators for evaluating the durability of polyurethane materials. The A-300 catalyst enhances the thermal stability of polyurethane materials by improving crosslinking density and optimizing molecular structure, so that it can maintain good performance under high temperature environments.

Temperature (°C) Catalyzer not used Using A-300 Catalyst Weight loss rate (%)
150 5.0 3.0 -40%
200 10.0 6.0 -40%
250 20.0 12.0 -40%

The experimental results show that the weight loss rate of polyurethane materials synthesized using A-300 catalyst is significantly reduced at high temperatures. For example, at high temperatures of 250°C, the weight loss rate of samples without catalysts reached 20%, while the weight loss rate of samples using A-300 catalysts was only 12%. This improvement in thermal stability makes polyurethane materials have a longer service life in high temperature environments, especially suitable for electronics, aerospace and other fields.

A-300 catalyst can not only accelerate the synthesis reaction of polyurethane materials, but also significantly improve the various properties of the materials, making it more in line with the strict requirements of medical equipment manufacturing. Here are several key contributions of A-300 catalysts in improving the performance of polyurethane materials:

1. Improve biocompatibility

Biocompatibility is one of the important properties of medical device materials, especially for long-term implants and devices that directly contact human tissue. Polyurethane materials themselves are good bioinergic, but in some cases there may still be a risk of triggering an immune response or inflammation. The A-300 catalyst can further improve the biocompatibility of the material by optimizing the molecular structure of polyurethane.

Study shows that the A-300 catalyst can promote the orderly arrangement of soft and hard segments in polyurethane materials, forming a more uniform microstructure. This structural optimization makes the surface of the material smoother and reduces friction and irritation with human tissue. In addition, the A-300 catalyst can also reduce residual monomers and by-products in the material, reducing the potential risk of toxicity. Experimental data show that polyurethane materials prepared using A-300 catalyst performed excellently in cytotoxicity tests, and no significant cell death or inflammatory response was observed.

2. Improve mechanical properties

The mechanical properties of polyurethane materials are crucial to their application in medical equipment, especially in scenarios where greater stress is required, such as artificial joints, vascular stents, etc. By adjusting the crosslinking density and molecular chain length of polyurethane, the A-300 catalyst can significantly improve the mechanical properties of the material, making it have higher strength, toughness and fatigue resistance.

Specifically, the A-300 catalyst can promote the cross-linking reaction between isocyanate and polyol, forming more three-dimensional network structures. This structure not only improves the hardness and compressive strength of the material, but also enhances the tensile and tear resistance of the material. In addition, the A-300 catalyst can also adjust the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the material so that it maintains good flexibility and elasticity in different temperature ranges. The experimental results show that the polyurethane materials prepared with the A-300 catalyst performed excellently in mechanical properties testing, with their tensile strength and elongation at break increased by about 30% and 20%, respectively.

3. Enhance chemical resistance and anti-aging properties

Medical equipment is often exposed to various chemical substances, such as disinfectants, detergents, blood, etc. during use. Therefore, the chemical resistance and anti-aging properties of the material are crucial to ensuring the long-term stability and safety of the equipment. By optimizing the molecular structure of polyurethane, the A-300 catalyst can significantly enhance the chemical resistance and anti-aging properties of the material.

First, the A-300 catalyst can promote the separation of soft and hard segments in polyurethane materials, forming a more stable phase structure. This structural change makes the surface of the material denser and reduces the penetration and erosion of chemicals. Secondly, the A-300 catalyst can also?The free radical reaction in the material delays the oxidation and degradation process. The experimental results show that the polyurethane material prepared with the A-300 catalyst performed excellently in chemical resistance tests. After multiple disinfection treatments, the mechanical properties and appearance of the material did not change significantly. In addition, the A-300 catalyst can also extend the service life of the material and reduce the risk of failure caused by aging.

4. Improve processing performance

The processing performance of polyurethane materials directly affects the manufacturing efficiency and cost of medical equipment. By adjusting the reaction rate and curing time, the A-300 catalyst can significantly improve the processing properties of the material, making it easier to form and process.

First, the A-300 catalyst can quickly catalyze the reaction of isocyanate with polyol at a lower temperature, shortening the curing time and improving production efficiency. Secondly, the A-300 catalyst can also adjust the viscosity and fluidity of the material, so that it can show better fluidity and fillability in molding processes such as injection molding and extrusion. Experimental data show that during the injection molding process of polyurethane materials prepared using A-300 catalyst, the mold filling speed increased by about 20%, and the finished product pass rate reached more than 98%. In addition, the A-300 catalyst can also reduce bubbles and shrinkage phenomena in the material during processing, and improve the appearance quality and dimensional accuracy of the product.

5. Improve antibacterial performance

In recent years, with the increasing serious problem of infection in medical equipment, antibacterial properties have become an important consideration in material design. The A-300 catalyst can impart excellent antibacterial properties to polyurethane materials by introducing functional monomers or additives, reducing bacteria and fungi breeding.

Study shows that the A-300 catalyst can work synergistically with antibacterial agents such as silver ions and zinc ions to form composite materials with lasting antibacterial effects. This composite material can not only effectively inhibit the growth of common pathogens, such as Staphylococcus aureus, E. coli, etc., but also prevent the formation of biofilms and reduce the risk of infection. Experimental results show that the polyurethane materials prepared using A-300 catalyst performed excellently in antibacterial testing, with an antibacterial rate of more than 99% for a variety of bacteria, which is significantly better than traditional materials.

Prospects and challenges of A-300 catalyst in the future development of medical technology

With the continuous advancement of medical technology, the application prospects of polyurethane materials in medical equipment manufacturing are becoming more and more broad. As a key additive for polyurethane synthesis, A-300 catalyst will play an important role in the following aspects in the future:

1. Development of personalized medical care

Personalized medicine is an important trend in future medical technology, aiming to customize personalized treatment plans and medical devices according to the specific situation of the patient. The A-300 catalyst has broad application prospects in this field, especially in the design of 3D printing technology and smart materials.

3D printing technology has been gradually applied to the manufacturing of medical devices, such as customized orthopedic implants, dental orthopedic devices, etc. The A-300 catalyst can significantly improve the processing performance of polyurethane materials, making it more suitable for 3D printing processes. By precisely controlling the reaction rate and curing time, the A-300 catalyst can achieve rapid molding of complex structures, meeting the high requirements of personalized medical care for materials and processes.

In addition, smart materials are also an important development direction of personalized medical care. Smart polyurethane materials can change their own performance through external stimuli (such as temperature, pH, electric field, etc.) to achieve adaptive functions. The A-300 catalyst can promote the synthesis of smart polyurethane materials, giving it more sensitive response characteristics and a wider range of application scenarios. For example, smart polyurethane coatings can automatically adjust water permeability and antibacterial properties according to environmental changes, reducing the risk of infection.

2. Application of biodegradable materials

The application of biodegradable materials in the medical field is increasing in the interest, especially in short-term implants and drug delivery systems. The application prospects of A-300 catalysts in this field are also very broad, especially in the development of new biodegradable polyurethane materials.

Although traditional polyurethane materials have excellent mechanical properties and biocompatibility, they are difficult to completely degrade in the body, which may lead to long-term tissue reactions or rejection. The A-300 catalyst can introduce easily degradable chemical bonds (such as ester bonds, carbon ester bonds, etc.) by adjusting the molecular structure of polyurethane, thereby imparting controllable degradation properties to the material. Studies have shown that biodegradable polyurethane materials prepared using A-300 catalyst can gradually degrade in the body, releasing non-toxic metabolites, avoiding long-term risks.

In addition, the A-300 catalyst can also work synergistically with drug molecules to develop biodegradable materials with drug sustained release function. This material not only provides mechanical support, but also slowly releases drugs in the body to achieve local therapeutic effects. For example, biodegradable polyurethane scaffolds can gradually degrade after implantation, while releasing antibiotics or growth factors, promoting tissue repair and regeneration.

3. Environmental protection and sustainable development

As the global attention to environmental protection continues to increase, the medical equipment manufacturing industry is also facing increasingly stringent environmental protection requirements. The application prospects of A-300 catalysts in this field are also worthy of attention, especially in the development of green polyurethane materials and the reduction of environmental pollution in the production process.

The synthesis of traditional polyurethane materials often results in a large amount of irrigation.Induced organic compounds (VOCs) and harmful gases cause pollution to the environment. By optimizing reaction conditions and process flow, A-300 catalyst can significantly reduce VOC emissions and reduce its impact on the environment. In addition, the A-300 catalyst can also be compatible with the aqueous polyurethane system to develop more environmentally friendly aqueous polyurethane materials. This material not only has excellent properties, but also avoids the use of organic solvents, reducing energy consumption and waste emissions during the production process.

In addition, the A-300 catalyst can also promote the recycling of polyurethane materials and reduce resource waste. Research shows that polyurethane materials prepared using A-300 catalyst show good reprocessing performance during the recycling process, can be reused to manufacture new medical equipment, and realize the recycling of resources.

4. Challenges of regulations and standards

Although A-300 catalysts have many advantages in medical device manufacturing, their application still faces some regulatory and standard challenges. The safety and effectiveness of medical equipment are strictly regulated, and governments and international organizations have formulated a number of regulations and standards, such as ISO 10993, FDA 21 CFR Part 177, etc., to ensure the quality and safety of medical equipment.

A-300 catalyst, as a chemical, must comply with the requirements of these regulations and standards. First, the biocompatibility and toxicity assessment of A-300 catalysts are key prerequisites for their application. Although existing studies have shown that A-300 catalysts have lower toxicity, more stringent toxicological tests are still required to ensure their safety in long-term use. Secondly, the production process and quality control of A-300 catalysts also need to comply with the requirements of GMP (good production specifications) to ensure that each batch of products has stable performance and quality.

In addition, the application of A-300 catalysts also requires consideration of their environmental impact. As global attention to environmental protection continues to increase, governments in various countries have put forward stricter requirements for the production and use of chemicals. Manufacturers of A-300 catalysts need to take effective measures to reduce environmental pollution during the production process and ensure the green and environmentally friendly properties of the products.

Conclusion

To sum up, A-300 catalyst has important application value and broad prospects in medical equipment manufacturing. By optimizing the performance of polyurethane materials, the A-300 catalyst can not only improve the safety and reliability of medical equipment, but also meet the needs of personalized medical, biodegradable materials and environmentally friendly and sustainable development.

Looking forward, with the continuous development of medical technology, the A-300 catalyst will play an important role in more innovative applications and promote medical equipment manufacturing to a higher level. We look forward to the A-300 catalyst to continue to leverage its unique advantages in the future development of medical technology and make greater contributions to the cause of human health.

Technical means to reduce odor emission by low atomization and odorless catalysts

2月 10th, 2025 News

The background and importance of low atomization odorless catalyst

As the increasing demand for chemicals in modern industry and daily life, the issue of odor emission has gradually become the focus of people’s attention. Whether it is chemical production, coating construction, plastic processing or cleaning products in daily life, many chemical substances will produce varying degrees of odor during use. These odors not only affect the working environment and quality of life, but may also cause potential harm to human health. For example, some organic solvents will release irritating gases after evaporation, and long-term exposure may lead to symptoms such as respiratory diseases, headaches, nausea, etc.; and the odor generated by some polymer materials during processing may also cause allergic reactions or other discomforts.

In order to solve this problem, scientific researchers and enterprises have invested a lot of resources to develop technical means that can effectively reduce the odor emission. Among them, low atomization and odorless catalysts have gradually received widespread attention as an innovative solution. Low atomization odorless catalysts can significantly reduce odor generation without sacrificing product performance by changing the chemical reaction path or accelerating the reaction process. This technology is not only suitable for chemical production, but can also be widely used in construction, home, automobile and other fields, with broad market prospects and application potential.

In recent years, with the increasing awareness of environmental protection and the continuous increase in consumers’ requirements for high-quality life, the market has increasingly high voices for low-odor and low-volatile products. Especially in indoor environments, such as home decoration, office space, etc., odor control is particularly important. Therefore, the research and development and application of low atomization and odorless catalysts not only meet market demand, but also conform to the trend of global green development. This article will in-depth discussion on the technical principles, application scenarios, and product parameters of low atomization odorless catalysts, and analyze them in combination with relevant domestic and foreign literature, aiming to provide readers with a comprehensive and systematic knowledge system.

Technical principles of low atomization and odorless catalyst

The core of the low-atomization odorless catalyst is its unique catalytic mechanism, which can significantly reduce the generation of odor without affecting the efficiency of the chemical reaction. To understand how this technique works, it is first necessary to clarify the basic concepts of the catalyst and its role in chemical reactions. A catalyst is a substance that can accelerate the rate of chemical reactions without being consumed, and it promotes the occurrence of reactions by reducing the activation energy of reactions. Traditional catalysts usually focus only on how to increase the reaction rate, ignoring the important factor of odor control. However, low atomization odorless catalysts have been innovative on this basis, and effective odor suppression is achieved through the introduction of specific active ingredients and optimized reaction conditions.

1. Selection of active ingredients

The key to low atomization odorless catalyst lies in the selection of its active ingredients. These active ingredients are usually carefully screened metal oxides, noble metal compounds or organic ligands that can chemically react with the odor source during the reaction, thereby inhibiting the production of odor. For example, studies have shown that silver ions (Ag?) and copper ions (Cu²?) have good antibacterial and deodorizing properties, can effectively decompose organic volatiles (VOCs) and reduce the emission of odors. In addition, certain rare earth elements such as lanthanum (La), cerium (Ce), etc. have also been proven to perform well in odor control and can efficiently catalyze the decomposition of organic matter under low temperature conditions.

In foreign literature, a study published by American researchers pointed out that nanoscale titanium dioxide (TiO?) can catalyze the decomposition of organic pollutants in the air into carbon dioxide and water under light conditions, thereby achieving the effect of purifying the air. The study also found that by doping nitrogen (N) or sulfur (S), the photocatalytic activity of titanium dioxide can be further improved, allowing it to function in a wider wavelength range. This provides an important theoretical basis for the design of low atomization odorless catalysts.

2. Regulation of reaction pathway

In addition to selecting suitable active ingredients, low atomization odorless catalysts also reduce odor generation by regulating the reaction pathway. Specifically, the catalyst may change the molecular structure or reaction conditions of the reactants so that the reaction proceeds in the direction of producing odorless products. For example, during coating curing, conventional catalysts may cause some unreacted monomers to volatilize, resulting in a pungent odor. The low atomization odorless catalyst can promote the reaction to be more complete, reduce the number of unreacted monomers, and thus reduce the odor emission.

A German study compared the application effects of different types of curing agents in polyurethane coatings, found that curing agents containing special functional groups can significantly improve the selectivity of the reaction, make the reaction products more stable and reduce the generation of by-products . This not only reduces the odor emission, but also improves the performance of the coating. Similarly, Japanese researchers introduced a novel catalyst in the production of polyvinyl butyral (PVB) films that promote crosslinking reactions at lower temperatures and reduce volatiles at high temperatures. Organic compounds (VOCs), thus achieving odorless production.

3. Surface modification and adsorption

In order to further enhance the effect of low atomization odorless catalyst, the researchers also used surface modification and adsorption techniques. By introducing functional groups on the catalyst surface orNanomaterials can increase the specific surface area of ??the catalyst and improve their adsorption ability to odor molecules. For example, porous materials such as activated carbon and silicone have a large specific surface area and a rich microporous structure, which can effectively adsorb odor molecules in the air and prevent them from diffusing into the environment. In addition, some metal organic frames (MOFs) materials have become ideal adsorbents and catalyst support due to their unique pore structure and adjustable pore size.

In famous domestic literature, the research team at Tsinghua University has developed a composite catalyst based on mesoporous silica (MCM-41), which is supported by transition metal ions (such as Fe³?, Co²?, etc.), not only It improves catalytic activity and also enhances the adsorption capacity of VOCs. Experimental results show that the catalyst exhibits excellent performance when treating formaldehyde and other common organic pollutants, and can reduce the pollutant concentration to a safe level in a short period of time, while effectively inhibiting the odor emission.

4. Environmentally friendly design

It is worth noting that the design of low atomization and odorless catalysts must not only consider their catalytic properties, but also take into account environmental friendliness. Although heavy metals (such as lead, mercury, etc.) used in traditional catalysts have high catalytic activity, their toxicity and environmental risks cannot be ignored. Therefore, modern low atomization odorless catalysts use more non-toxic and degradable materials to ensure that they do not cause harm to the environment and human health during use. For example, natural materials such as bio-based catalysts and plant extracts have gradually become research hotspots due to their good biocompatibility and renewability.

To sum up, low atomization odorless catalysts can effectively reduce the generation of odors at multiple levels by selecting suitable active ingredients, regulating reaction paths, enhancing adsorption capabilities and adopting an environmentally friendly design. This technology not only provides new solutions for the chemical, construction, home furnishing and other industries, but also opens up new ways to achieve green production and sustainable development.

Application scenarios of low atomization and odorless catalyst

Low atomization odorless catalyst has been widely used in many industries due to its unique technical advantages. The following will introduce its specific applications in chemical production, coating construction, plastic processing and daily life in detail, and explain the economic and social benefits it brings based on actual cases.

1. Application in chemical production

In chemical production, many chemical reactions produce large amounts of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which not only pollute the environment, but also produce pungent odors that affect workers’ health and work efficiency. The application of low atomization odorless catalysts can significantly reduce VOCs emissions, improve working environment, and improve production efficiency.

Take the petrochemical industry as an example, the refining process is often accompanied by the release of harmful gases such as hydrogen sulfide and other harmful gases. These gases not only have a strong odor, but are also toxic to the human body. Research shows that by introducing low atomization odorless catalysts into catalytic cracking devices, the emission of harmful gases can be greatly reduced without reducing yields. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), after using low atomization and odorless catalysts, the VOCs emissions at refineries were reduced by about 30%, the concentration of hydrogen sulfide was significantly reduced, and the health of workers was significantly improved.

Another typical application scenario is the production of synthetic rubber. In traditional synthetic rubber processes, zinc chloride is used as a catalyst to easily produce hydrogen chloride gas, resulting in a pungent odor in the workshop. In recent years, researchers have developed a low atomization odorless catalyst based on rare earth elements that can promote polymerization at lower temperatures and reduce the formation of hydrogen chloride. The experimental results show that after using this catalyst, the air quality in the workshop has been significantly improved and the production cost has also been reduced. In addition, the product quality is more stable and the market competitiveness has been improved.

2. Application in coating construction

Coating construction is one of the important application areas of low atomization and odorless catalysts. Whether it is building exterior walls, interior decoration or automotive coating, the paint often releases a large amount of organic solvents during the curing process. These solvents not only have a pungent smell, but may also cause harm to human health. The application of low atomization and odorless catalysts can effectively reduce the volatility of solvents, reduce odor emission, and improve the quality of the construction environment.

In terms of architectural coatings, traditional solvent-based coatings will produce a strong odor during construction, especially in confined spaces, where the odor is difficult to dissipate, seriously affecting the health of construction workers. In recent years, water-based coatings have gradually replaced solvent-based coatings, but due to their slow drying speed, there are still certain odor problems. To this end, the researchers developed a low atomization odorless catalyst based on nanotitanium dioxide, which is able to accelerate moisture evaporation during coating curing and reduce odor generation. Practical application shows that after using this catalyst, the drying time of the coating was shortened by about 20%, the odor was significantly reduced, and the construction environment was significantly improved.

The automotive coating industry also faces the challenge of odor control. During the paint process of car, solvent volatilization will not only produce a pungent odor, but may also cause damage to the operator’s respiratory system. To this end, a German automobile manufacturer has introduced a low atomization odorless catalyst that can be sprayed on the spray.Accelerate the curing of the coating during the ??? process and reduce the volatility of the solvent. After testing, after using this catalyst, the VOCs concentration in the spray painting workshop was reduced by about 40%, the odor almost disappeared, and the work efficiency and satisfaction of workers were significantly improved. In addition, the adhesion and weatherability of the coating have also been improved, and the product quality has been more stable.

3. Application in plastic processing

Plastic processing is another major application area for low atomization and odorless catalysts. In injection molding, extrusion, blow molding and other processes, plastic raw materials will decompose at high temperatures, producing a large number of volatile organic compounds. These compounds not only have a strong odor, but may also cause harm to the environment and human health. The application of low atomization and odorless catalysts can effectively reduce the production of these harmful gases, improve the production environment, and improve product quality.

Taking injection molding of polypropylene (PP) as an example, in traditional processes, polypropylene is easily decomposed at high temperatures, producing harmful gases such as acrolein. These gases not only have a pungent odor, but may also cause respiratory diseases. To this end, the researchers developed a low atomization odorless catalyst based on metal oxides that promotes the melting and flow of polypropylene at lower temperatures, reducing the occurrence of decomposition reactions. The experimental results show that after using this catalyst, the odor in the injection molding workshop was significantly reduced, the VOCs concentration was reduced by about 50%, and the production environment was significantly improved. In addition, the dimensional accuracy and surface quality of the product have also been improved, and the market competitiveness has been enhanced.

In the food packaging industry, the safety of plastic products is particularly important. Traditional polyethylene (PE) films are prone to producing low molecular weight volatile substances during the production process. These substances will not only affect the odor of packaging materials, but may also migrate to food, affecting food safety. To this end, a Japanese food packaging company has introduced a low atomization and odorless catalyst that can promote the cross-linking reaction of polyethylene at low temperatures and reduce the formation of low molecular weight substances. After testing, after using this catalyst, the odor of the packaging material was significantly reduced, the VOCs content was much lower than international standards, and the safety of the product was guaranteed. In addition, the mechanical properties and barrier properties of packaging materials have also been improved, extending the shelf life of food.

4. Application in daily life

Low atomization and odorless catalysts are not only widely used in the industrial field, but also play an important role in daily life. For example, in terms of household cleaning supplies, air purifiers, refrigerator deodorization, etc., the application of low-atomization and odorless catalysts can effectively reduce the generation of odors and improve the quality of life.

In household cleaning supplies, many detergents and disinfectants will produce pungent odors during use, especially in closed spaces, where the odor is difficult to dissipate and affect the living environment. To this end, the researchers developed a low-atomization odorless catalyst based on activated carbon and metal oxides that can effectively adsorb and decompose odor molecules in the air to reduce the spread of odors. The experimental results show that after using this catalyst, the odor of cleaning supplies was significantly reduced and the cleaning effect was improved. In addition, the environmental performance of the product is more outstanding and has been widely praised by consumers.

Air purifier is a common household appliance product in modern homes. Its main function is to remove harmful substances in the air and improve indoor air quality. However, traditional air purifiers may produce a certain odor during operation, affecting the user experience. To this end, a well-known air purifier manufacturer has introduced a low-atomization and odorless catalyst based on nanotitanium dioxide, which can catalyze the decomposition of organic pollutants in the air into carbon dioxide and water under light conditions, achieving the effect of purifying the air. After testing, after using this catalyst, the deodorization effect of the air purifier was significantly improved, and the VOCs concentration in the air was reduced by about 60%, and the user feedback was good.

Refrigerator deodorization is another important application scenario. The odor inside the refrigerator will not only affect the taste of the food, but may also breed bacteria and affect food safety. To this end, the researchers developed a low-atomization odorless catalyst based on activated carbon and metal organic frames (MOFs) that effectively adsorb and decompose odor molecules in the refrigerator to keep the internal air fresh. The experimental results show that after using this catalyst, the odor in the refrigerator was significantly reduced, the storage time of food was extended, and the satisfaction of users was significantly improved.
