Additives for Rigid Foam
Additives for rigid polyurethane foam are used to support formulation optimization across a wide range of foam applications. Silicone surfactants can provide improved blowing agent compatibility, miscibility, dimensional stability, flow leveling, and surface porosity reduction, as well as fine cells and enhanced thermal conductivity. Catalysts enable productivity improvements and control of reaction profiles and shelf life for both PUR and PIR. Additionally, the range includes adhesion promoters, curing agents, and specialty silicones for open-cell rigid foam to expand formulation options
