Niax silicone L-818 is an excellent candidate to consider for conventional and flame retardent polyether flexible slabstock foam, with reduced low molecular weight siloxane content.
It can typically provide broad processing latitude in all grades including those of low density where high amount of auxiliary blowing agents act to destabilize foams during production.
Niax silicone L-818 typically provides excellent foam processing latitude and can help to reduce density gradients in very high blocks.
It assists the production of high quality foams for furniture and bedding with low emission of volatile siloxanes. Niax silicone L-818 offers good FR performance and provides fine and even cell structure.
