Niax™ Polyurethane Silicones and Catalysts For Excellent Durability and Thermal Insulation

Spray foams offer an efficient solution for thermal and sound insulation in both new constructions and renovations. The application of silicones and catalysts is essential in this process, especially given the complex chemistry and the challenges of on-site application outside controlled industrial settings. In closed-cell foams, the use of physical blowing agents, which can significantly degrade over time, limits the selection of suitable silicones and catalysts. Conversely, open-cell foams benefit from lower emission catalysts, providing added value for spray foams applicators.

Momentive's portfolio includes silicones and catalysts that enable the development of superior formulations for both open-cell and closed-cell spray foams systems.

Panels produced through a continuous process utilize a wide variety of facing materials, ranging from aluminum to paper and multilayer materials. These panels significantly enhance the energy efficiency of residential buildings due to the excellent polyurethane thermal conductivity. Typical applications include wall insulation, floor insulation, and roof insulation panels, but aluminum panels are also commonly used for air distribution ducts.

Momentive’s portfolio includes silicones and catalysts that facilitate a smooth production process for PIR/PUR systems.

Block foams, both PIR and PUR, are used in a wide variety of applications, ranging from thermal insulation to cryogenic applications, tooling, and modeling. These blocks are produced with a wide range of densities and fire-resistance properties, depending on their final use.

Momentive’s portfolio includes silicones and catalysts that enable the production of various foam types, ensuring the required performance for each application.
