The impact of low-odor catalyst ZR-40 on VOC emissions of building insulation materials

Introduction

As people's attention to indoor air quality continues to increase, the issue of volatile organic compounds (VOC) emissions in building insulation materials has gradually become the focus of research. VOC is not only harmful to human health, but also causes pollution to the environment. Therefore, the development of building insulation materials with low VOC emissions has become an important topic in the industry. This article will introduce in detail the application of the low-odor catalyst ZR-40 in building insulation materials, explore its impact on VOC emissions, and demonstrate its performance advantages through product parameters and tables.

1. Background of VOC emissions issues

1.1 Definition and harm of VOC

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) refer to organic compounds that are prone to volatile at room temperature, and are commonly found in building materials, furniture, coatings and other products. VOC emissions not only lead to a decline in indoor air quality, but may also cause health problems such as headaches, nausea, and allergies. Long-term exposure may even increase the risk of cancer.

1.2 VOC source in building insulation materials

The VOC in building insulation materials mainly comes from chemical additives, adhesives, catalysts, etc. used in the production process. These substances will gradually be released into the air during the curing or use of the material, affecting the indoor environment.

2. Overview of low-odor catalyst ZR-40

2.1 Basic characteristics of ZR-40

The low odor catalyst ZR-40 is a new environmentally friendly catalyst designed specifically to reduce VOC emissions in building insulation materials. Its main features include:

• Low Odor: ZR-40 is almost odorless during production and use, significantly improving the working environment.
• High-efficiency Catalysis: ZR-40 can accelerate the curing process of insulation materials and improve production efficiency.
• Environmental Performance: ZR-40 does not contain heavy metals and other harmful substances and meets environmental protection standards.

2.2 Chemical composition of ZR-40

The main components of ZR-40 include organotin compounds, stabilizers and additives. These components work together to ensure that the catalyst can also perform efficient catalytic effects at low temperatures while reducing the formation of VOC.

III. Application of ZR-40 in building insulation materials

3.1 Application Scope

ZR-40 is widely used in the production of building insulation materials such as polyurethane foam, polystyrene foam, and phenolic foam. Its low odor characteristics make it particularly suitable for fields with high requirements for indoor air quality.such as hospitals, schools, residences, etc.

3.2 Application Effect

Through application testing in actual production, ZR-40 significantly reduces VOC emissions in building insulation materials. The specific effects are shown in the table below:

Material Type	VOC emissions of traditional catalysts (mg/m³)	ZR-40 catalyst VOC emissions (mg/m³)	Reduce amplitude (%)
Polyurethane foam	120	30	75%
Polystyrene Foam	90	20	78%
Phenolic Foam	80	15	81%

From the table above, it can be seen that ZR-40 shows significant VOC emission reduction effects in different types of building insulation materials.

IV. Mechanism of influence of ZR-40 on VOC emissions

4.1 Catalytic mechanism

ZR-40 can effectively promote chemical reactions in insulation materials and reduce the generation of by-products through its unique chemical structure. Specifically, ZR-40 can accelerate the reaction of isocyanate with polyols, reduce the residue of unreacted monomers, and thus reduce VOC emissions.

4.2 Effects of stabilizers

The stabilizer in ZR-40 can prevent the catalyst from decomposing at high temperatures and ensure the durability of the catalytic effect. At the same time, stabilizers can also inhibit the generation of harmful substances and further reduce VOC emissions.

4.3 Synergistic effects of additives

The additives in ZR-40 can improve the dispersion of the catalyst, make it evenly distributed in the insulation material, and improve catalytic efficiency. In addition, the additive can also work synergistically with the catalyst to reduce energy consumption during the reaction and reduce VOC generation.
