Flexible Slabstock Foams

Boost Flexibility and Comfort of Bedding, Upholstery and Automotive Applications

Flexible Slabstock Foam is a highly adaptable polymeric material, ideal for bedding, upholstery, automotive, and other applications where adaptability of the final fabric is a key consideration.

Silicone Surfactants are key to enhancing comfort by providing an optimal balance of foam stabilization, cell structure control, and breathability.

Rigid Polyurethane Foams for Building and Construction

Improved Insulation for Building and Construction

Rigid foam, a closed-cell polymer, is widely used in various applications, like building and construction and appliances, where low thermal insulation combined with excellent dimensional stability are of paramount importance.

Rigid foam is commonly found in metal panels, insulation boards, spray foam, and one-component foam (OCF) to enhance the energy efficiency of buildings.

Rigid Polyurethane Foams for Appliances

Improved Insulation for Appliances

Rigid foam, a closed-cell polymer, is widely used in various applications, like building & construction and appliances, where low thermal insulation combined with excellent dimensional stability are of paramount importance.

Rigid foam is commonly found in refrigerators and cold storage units for food preservation.

Molded Polyurethane Foams

Outstanding Foam Stabilization for Automotive and Furniture Applications

Molded polyurethane foams, widely used in automotive and furniture applications, are flexible polymers that rely on silicone surfactants for optimal foam/cell stability and cell opening. This ensures the right balance between foam stabilization and cell structure, resulting in high-quality final products.

Niax additives can enhance the foam properties of molded flexible foams achieving various densities and hardness, making them ideal for diverse uses.

Specialty Polyurethanes

Enhanced Properties of Shoe Soles, Automotive, Cushioning, Mechanical Froth Foams and PU CASE

Polyurethane is an exceptionally versatile polymer, used not only in classic rigid, slabstock, and molded flexible foams but also in a wide range of other applications. These include shoe soles, elastomers, coatings, adhesives, sealants, mechanical frothed foams, and composite materials.

In many of these uses, silicone surfactants play a vital role in achieving the necessary performance characteristics by providing good stabilization, skin, and fine cell structure.
