Momentive Niax & Fomrez Urethane Additives are used as catalysts, surfactants, and process modifiers in the manufacturing of polyurethane foams and coatings. As a process modifier, Niax silicone surfactants are used to improve stabilization, control cell structure and improve processability in polyurethane foams. Niax Amine catalysts are used in urethane foam manufacturing to lower the activation energy needed to facilitate polymerization. Fomrez tin catalysts are used to provide adjustments in the manufacturing process in tandem with amine catalysts.
 
Material applications of Niax and Fomrez products include sealants, inks, 2-part urethane systems, electronics, coatings as well as rigid and flexible foam urethanes.

Momentive Performance Materials is the market leader for urethane additives. Momentive's innovative options within the Niax and Fomrez portfolio are unmatched in the urethane industry. They have consistently engineered new products that reduce the cost to customers through more efficient production pathways.

Tospearl Micro-Fine Silicone Resins is a product line of spherical silicone-resin powders. These polymers are designed with a very narrow particle distribution and are ideal for film, optical, and personal care applications.

In film applications, Tospearl acts as a slip-additive or anti-blocking agent. It provides high-heat stability and superb lubricity, which prevents agglomeration and allows greater production flexibility. It also can be run at higher processing speeds to increase efficiency and throughput, while minimizing downtime.

Momentive is the leading integrated producer of silicone beads in North America.

Momentive has the largest portfolio of adhesives with the strongest tech service team in the industry.

Hexion UF Performance Adhesives are urea formaldehyde interior type II glues that require a separate hardener.  They are low cost, fast setting with heat, and have a long assembly time which can be adjusted by altering the resin to catalyst ratio.  These adhesives are a two-part product system consisting of resins and catalysts. 

UF resin brands include Cascamite®, Casco-Resin®, and Perkins® with the corresponding catalyst brands being Cascoset®, H-Series®, Perkins®, and Seaco®. The urea formaldehyde product line is for use on interior hardwood plywood, flooring, and curved plywood.

Momentive has the largest urea formaldehyde portfolio in the world today. 

Hexion PVAc Performance Adhesives are offered in either a single or two-part system and are an environmentally friendly alternative to formaldehyde-based products. 

The XB series is a Type I bond that is boil and heat resistant, has the Hallmark Certification and is commonly used on curved and hardwood plywood.  It can be used in hot presses, radio frequency curing machines, or cold presses. The IB series is a single-component emulsion which is designed for easy use, approved for interior applications, and suitable for general assembly applications.

Momentive is the leader in performance adhesives products and backs its products with a strong technical service team.

Momentive HexiCrete Additives are products specifically developed to improve concrete performance, contractor productivity, and environmental sustainability.  While the additives are designed to support pervious concrete, the values seen with the penetrating sealer and curing compounds are applicable to any form of concrete.

HexiCrete curing compounds, penetrating sealers, and pervious concrete additives are also tested and qualified in accordance with the most recent standards. Additionally, ChemPoint's readily available technical service mixed with Momentive's unmatched field service eases implementation and coordination with local and governing associations' field requirements.

Momentive, one of the world's leading specialty chemical and materials companies, is committed to anticipating new trends and driving innovation in the concrete additives business.

Momentive Custom Silicone Elastomers are high-performance rubber blends. They can be custom-tailored to provide varying degrees of elongation, tensile strength, modulus, resilience, thermal stability, oil, fuel, or raditional resistance, along with designated curing properties.
