Niax™ Silicone L-6972
Niax silicone L-6972 surfactant is used in the manufacture of rigid polyurethane foams (particularly those using hydrofluoroolefin (HFO) blowing agents) to enhance both thermal insulation efficiency and flow properties. Able to help promote fine-cell texture and uniform density distribution, Niax silicone L-6972 surfactant is an excellent candidate to consider for rigid foams such as those used in f household and commercial appliances.
More About Niax™ Silicone L-6972
Niax silicone L-6972 is highly compatible with typical polyether polyol resins. Due to its excellent chemical stability, it can also significantly extend the shelf life of pre-blended formulations containing HFOs.
By helping to produce high-quality fine-cell foams while reducing voids, Niax silicone L-6972 can help to attain high thermal insulation efficiency ratings for refrigerators, commercial appliances and other thermal insulation applications.
