Momentive to launch new Niax silicones at PU China

Additionally, the additives help solve processing issues: foam stabilizers can help reduce voids and produce finer cells; adhesion promoters, PIR curing additives and additives can aid with processing open cells foams.

Niax Silicone Y-16206 is a surfactant that can be considered for panel application. It can contribute to improved FR performance while offering voids reduction and system compatibility.

Niax Silicone Y-16130 can help produce  low-defect foam used in high performance refrigerators, providing very fine and homogeneous cells with lower K factor and improved insulation, made with cyclo-pentane or in blends with HFC’s and HFOs.

MPM first introduced the Niax brand with the launch of a revolutionary silicone surfactant in 1962 and to this day, continues to advance the science of polyurethane foam technology to address customers’ specialized processing and performance needs.

This more-than-50-year commitment to innovation in the polyurethane industry has culminated in one of the most comprehensive offerings of silicones, catalysts and process modifiers for polyurethane foam production, all under the Niax brand.
