APPLICATIONS:

Suitable for manufacturers in:


Insulation Materials:
Rigid polyurethane foam for spray foam insulation, insulation boards (PIR/PUR), refrigeration panels, and thermal barriers in construction and appliances.


Flexible Foam:
Furniture cushioning, mattress and bedding foam, automotive seating, carpet underlay, and packaging foam.


Flame Retardant Foams:
Polyols formulated with halogenated or phosphorus-based flame retardants for construction insulation, automotive components, and marine applications meeting fire safety standards.


Adhesives and Sealants:
Two-component polyurethane adhesives for construction, transportation, and manufacturing. Sealant systems for building envelopes, automotive assembly, and industrial applications.


Coatings and Surface Protection:
Polyurethane coatings for wood finishing, industrial equipment, flooring systems, and protective layers requiring durability and chemical resistance.


Flexible and Comfortable Foams:
High-resilience foam for premium furniture and automotive seating. Viscoelastic (memory) foam for bedding, seating, and medical applications.

Benefits:

Versatility:
Compatible with MDI, TDI, and polymeric isocyanate systems. Formulation flexibility based on hydroxyl number, functionality, molecular weight, and viscosity parameters.

​

Processing Characteristics:
Predictable reactivity profiles for spray foam, pour-in-place, continuous slabstock, and molded foam processing. Batch-to-batch consistency for stable production parameters.

​

Mechanical Performance:
Polyol selection influences foam density, hardness (ILD/IFD), resilience, tensile strength, and elongation properties when reacted with appropriate isocyanate systems at specified index ratios.

​

System Compatibility:
Compatible with common catalysts (amine and metal), surfactants (silicone and non-silicone), blowing agents (physical and chemical), and flame retardant packages used in polyurethane formulations.

​

Regulatory Compliance:
All FlexiFoam polyols include:

  • Certificate of Analysis (COA)

  • Safety Data Sheet (SDS)

  • Technical Data Sheet (TDS) with hydroxyl number, acid value, viscosity, water content

  • TSCA certification (US EPA)

  • REACH pre-registration documentation (EU)

  • GHS-compliant labeling

​

Technical Support:
Application-specific formulation guidance available. Our team can assist with polyol selection, isocyanate ratio optimization, processing parameter adjustment, and performance testing.

​
