Effective PIR Production: Potassium Acetate as a Safer, Cost-Effective Alternative to Potassium Octoate
In catalyst applications, potassium octoate has traditionally been used as an effective potassium source, particularly in polyurethane and polymer chemistry. However, growing environmental and safety concerns have led formulators and manufacturers to seek alternative solutions with a more favorable profile.
Lohtragon® Potassium Salts offers a sustainable and less hazardous alternative to potassium octoate, with comparable catalytic performance under many conditions. Unlike potassium octoate, which is classified with a worsened hazardous status and often associated with higher regulatory constraints, the Lohtragon® Potassium Salts present a significantly improved health and environmental profile – making them the smarter choice for modern, sustainable formulations.
Lohtragon® Potassium Salts provide an optimal balance between performance, cost-efficiency, and regulatory compliance – making them a reliable and future-oriented choice for formulators seeking to replace potassium octoate in their systems.
