Product Applications
  • In the production of PUR ester flexible slabstock foam Addovate® EM is used as an emulsifier for water, catalyst(s) (e. g. Addocat®101, Addocat® PV, Addocat® 117) and the polyester polyol. Addovate® EM also improves the open-cell structure of foams.  Addovate® EM is usually used in combination with Addovate® TX.
  • Low odor PUR ester flexible slabstock foam: In the production of low odor PUR ester flexible slabstock foam Addovate® EM is used as emulsifier / stabilizer in combination with Addovate® 3240 and small amounts of silicone stabilizers.
