TAILORED PU FORMULATIONS THROUGH THE UNDESTANDING OF FOAMING KINETICS

SPEAKER/S: ESTER LAGUNA GUTIERREZ
DESCRIPTION: Developing optimum, new or more sustainable formulations for specific applications can be defiant and time-consuming especially when using a trial-and-error approach.

To tackle this challenge a well-defined and validated methodology can be used to monitor the foaming kinetics of a PU foam to obtain a better understanding of the connection between its final cellular structure and properties and the chemical composition.

It evaluates, on the one hand, the chemical aspects of the foaming process (FTIR spectroscopy and foaming temperature measurements) and on the other hand, their physical aspects (IR- expandometry and X-ray radioscopy). As a result, foaming mechanisms can be quantified and therefore, controlled.

In this webinar we will present the principles of the methodology. By diving into several examples, it will be shown how the information provided by CellMat’s methodology is key to success in the design of new formulations.
