Lupragen® N 208

Lupragen® N 208 by BASF is a low-VOC reactive catalyst. It is suitable for the production of polyurethane (PU) flexible, semi-rigid and rigid foams. It is firmly integrated into the PU polymer network during foam production so it cannot escape from the foam afterwards. It is used in flexible foams for mattresses and upholstery, more rigid foams for automotive interiors such as dashboards or armrests.
