Description of Desired Solution

A specifically designed polyol used as an additive in Rigid PU foams formulations to improve aspects linked to productivity, sustainability and reaction to fire!

Detailed Solution Description

A new polyol is uniquely designed to be used as an additive in the presence of other polyols to improve rigid polyurethane foam insulation lambda value, faster demold time through faster backend reaction, and the ability to include or reduce a more sustainable flame retardant.
We are looking for partners to test this polyol in rigid PU foams for home appliance applications!
  • Unique high aromaticity – 33%
  • Low acid content
  • High functionality – 3
  • Secondary hydroxyl group for flexible reactivity
  • Hydrolytically stable
  • Compatible with many polyols and fire retardants
  • Compatible with HFO blowing agents
High aromaticity allows this unique polyol, when used as an additive, to improve the reaction to fire and/or improved mechanical strength of the rigid foam.
Low acid content allows to increase hydrolysis resistance.
