that reaction can define the entire performance of the final product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Within this context, catalysts play a much more strategic role than simply \u201cspeeding up the reaction.\u201d They are responsible for controlling the system\u2019s reaction behavior, influencing processing, cell structure, stability, and foam performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In practice, understanding the balance

Foam<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The performance of a PU system does not depend only on the presence of catalysts \u2014 but on the balance between them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When there is excessive polymerization:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The system may develop structure too quickly;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fluidity may be reduced;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Filling complex molds
