K-KAT^® non-tin catalysts are environmentally friendly and help you achieve regulatory compliance without sacrificing performance in your 1K PU, 2K PU, and silane formulations. Benefits include an improved pot life/cure time relationship, less gassing in the presence of water, improved low temperature cure response, and excellent film properties. Contact Dylan LaFerriere (dlaferriere@kingindustries.com), K-KAT^® Technical Sales Representative to learn how to make the switch from tin today!

Nexgen™ Recirculating Vacuum Rotor-Stator

Optimizing Deagglomeration and Dispersion for Pure & Airless Dispersions
The patented technology achieves unbeatable particle deagglomeration and dispersion by combining mechanical and vacuum forces. The powerful shear tears up agglomerates and the integrated vacuum removes the air trapped inside; liquid fills the void, encapsulating each particle, achieving thorough wetting.

The product is pulled from both the top and bottom of the rotor and passes through a unique shear slot pattern for dynamic impact and the greatest open area for maximum flow.

The Result: An airless dispersion. No bubbles. No foam. Volumetric precision.
