Improve Insulation and Quality to Enhance Appliances Performance Aesthetics

The Niax™ portfolio by Momentive includes innovative silicone surfactants, catalysts, and special additives for rigid polyurethane foams used in appliances. Appliance manufacturers face growing demands to comply with more challenging thermal insulation performance to meet energy labeling requirements, thus meeting consumers expectations. As a result, modern household appliances must be more efficient and long-lasting. Our products are designed to help manufacturers enhance insulation properties and efficiency across domestic, industrial, and commercial appliances, including freezers, refrigerators, water heaters, and discontinuous applications. 

Niax silicone foam stabilizers are compatible with a wide range of blowing agents, including HC and HFO, providing an excellent blowing agent solubility in the polyol blend. 
Niax silicones enhance the production of foams with exceptionally fine cells, ensuring uniform filling of complex cavities and delivering the thermal insulation needed to meet the highest energy consumption targets, even with the most challenging design requirements. They also contribute to a significant improvement in the aesthetics of domestic refrigerators and beverage display units.

Niax catalysts and special additives contribute to support productivity and durability by facilitating fast processing and enhancing the structural integrity of foam-filled appliances.
