A new thermally latent cocatalyst, based on 1,5-diazabicyclo[4.3.0]non-5-ene (DBN), has been specifically designed for “on-demand” synthesis of polyurethanes in the presence of DBTL as catalyst. This nitrophenyl-based isocyanurate cocatalyst exhibited a low cleavage temperature keeping the system almost inactive at 20 °C and allowing fast polymerization only after increasing temperature up to 60 °C by the release of active DBN.
