Application Information
  • PUR ester flexible slabstock foam:
    • In the production of PUR ester flexible slabstock foam Addovate® TX is used as an emulsifier. Addovate® TX is usually used in combination with Addovate® EM. With a combination of Addovate® TX / Addovate® EM good foaming control resulting in fine cell structure can be achieved.
    • The recommended amount is between 1.0 and 3.0 parts by weight Addovate® TX to 100 parts by weight polyester polyol. The following sequence of adding the individual components has proven effective when manufacturing the activator batch: water, catalyst(s), Addovate® EM, Addovate® TX. A clear, homogeneous mixture is produced.
  • Warning
    • When mixing with other emulsifiers or additives, it is advisable to carry out laboratory tests for compatibility, as incompatibilities may cause defects in the cellular structure.

Storage & Handling

Storage and Shelf Life Information
  • Addovate® TX is to be stored in a cool and dry place.
  • When Addovate® TX is stored in firmly closed original containers at 10 to 25°C, a shelf-life of 12 months from manufacturing date can be expected.
  • Exposure to higher temperatures should be avoided, particularly over long periods of time.
  • In the colder season of the year it may occur that Addovate® TX becomes fully or partly crystalline during transport.
  • In this case Addovate® TX should be stored at a temperature between 20 - 25°C where it will become liquid within 1 - 2 weeks.
  • The contents have to be thoroughly homogenized before use.
  • Addovate® TX is mildly hygroscopic.
  • To prevent it from adsorbing water from the atmosphere, the container should always be resealed tightly after use.
