Mannheim – The range of polyurethane catalysts in the Polyurethane/Plastics division of Rhein Chemie Rheinau GmbH, Mannheim, will be managed under the new name of Addocat™. The former products Desmorapid® and RC-PUR® activators are being standardized by the new name but will retain their customary classification.
One name instead of two – to guarantee a high degree of recognition and simplify the search for users. No changes have been made to the polyurethane catalysts themselves; they still have their customary properties.
