Abstract
A method for manipulating a cure profile of an elastomer is disclosed. The method may include providing a formulation comprising an isocyanate prepolymer, a curative, a first catalyst, and a second catalyst. The method may further include curing the formulation by initiating a front-end cure reaction between the isocyanate prepolymer and the curative with the first catalyst. The method may further include decreasing a rate of a back-end cure reaction between the isocyanate prepolymer and the curative using the second catalyst, wherein the second catalyst does not impact the front-end cure reaction.
