New Silanes for Environmentally Sound PU Foams
WACKER’s GENIOSIL® silane line offers a range of raw materials for a new generation of easy-to-use, dimensionally stable and isocyanate-free PU foams with low environmental impact. The finished molecule is an α-silane-terminated polymer, with the positive properties of PU compounds but none of the drawbacks of the isocyanate monomer. And its α-turbo curing property provides a stable foam. This in turn gives numerous benefits:
this innovative foam contains no monomeric isocyanates , ensures rapid curing and provides excellent anchorage on all kinds of conventional surfaces. It also offers good mechanical properties without shrinkage or post-swelling and permits customized adjustment of hardness
