Addovate® SM

Addovate® SM is an aqueous solution of fatty acid sulfonate. Acts as an emulsifier/stabilizer for the production of polyurethane polyester flexible slabstock foam, rigid foam as well as a crosslinker for cellular hot casting elastomers. Is used in an aqueous catalyst compound in conjunction with Addocat® DB, Addovate® WM and paraffin oil. It improves the dispersion characteristics of the individual catalyst and reactant components in the mixing chamber. It primarily keeps the crosslinking reaction under control. It also has a stabilizing effect during the foaming phase. It has a shelf life of 6 months.
