Share via Email

Niax silicone L-6988 is uses as a resin-side addition in the manufacture of rigid polyurethane foams. An excellent candidate to consider for hydrocarbon-blown foams, it is most notably utilized in refrigerators and cool-store applications. Key product benefits typically include extremely fine cells and good flow resulting in low thermal conductivity with cyclopentane, a mixture of cyclopentane and other hydrocarbons, HFCs, or HFOs.

Description

One fundamental difference that generally makes Niax silicone L-6988 even more advantageous is its versatility across many industries. Its myriad benefits include manufacturing usage in refrigeration, water-heaters, commercial refrigerators, blocks and pour-in-place foam applications with hydrocarbons and water co-blown systems. In addition, the extremely fine foam structure of Niax silicone L-6988 can effectively enable exceptional performance and durability in thermal insulation.

Key Features & Typical Benefits

  • Very good thermal conductivity via fine cells, with both hydrocarbons and hydrofluorocarbons, and more specifically with cyclo-pentane
  • Good foam flow with homogeneous density distribution and lambda performance across all product sections (e.g. in all refrigerator positions)
  • Reduced void formation
