SI Group | Polyurethane Additives
Industry Leader in Performance Additives
The SI Group is a leader and innovator in polymer additives and stabilizers that support a wide range of industries and markets. Their portfolio of Polyol Stabilization Antioxidants provides beneficial technology solutions for the polyurethane (PU) industry.As the global leader in smart chemistry solutions that solves complex processing issues, the SI Group's antioxidant & stabilizer portfolio enhances the quality and lifetime of polymers. Naugard™ Polyol Stabilization Antioxidants are vital for Polyurethane (PU or PUR) polymers, as they protect the polyurethane system during the catalyst reaction. The catalyst reaction between polyols and isocyanates generates heat during the polymerization process. This increase in exothermic reactions can raise the internal foam temperature upwards to 160°C + which causes discoloration or damage to the foam product. Ultimately, foam and slabstock polyol producers require an antioxidant and additive package that can:
- Improved PU processability
- Lower VOC/FOG Emissions
- Comply with regulatory parameters
- Reduce waste, thermal scorch, and UV degradation for Polyurethane foam systems
Flexible and rigid polyurethane foam applications benefit from the SI Group's portfolio of Polyol Stabilization Antioxidants that are used to reduce thermal scorch and oxidative degradation.
