ADDOVATE WM

Addovate WM is a non-ionic emulsifier.

Addovate WM is a strong emulsifier & dispersant, prevents cell structure defects.

Addovate WM is a non-ionic emulsifier for water, paraffin oil, and water insoluble catalysts in polyester polyols for the production of flexible slabstock foam.

Addovate WM is a non-ionogenic emulsifier. 
Addovate WM acts as a dispersant and emulsifier for the production of polyester based flexible slabstock foam. 

In general 1.0 - 2.0 p.b.w. of Addovate WM should be added to 100 p.b.w. polyester polyol. 
Over-dosage (> 4.0 p.b.w.) will result in a deterioration of the compression hardness. 

Under-dosage of leads to a badly homogenized catalyst mixture which results in severe damages to the cell structure. 
Addovate WM has a shelf life of 12 months.

Product information of Addovate WM:
Addovate WM is an emulsifier for water, paraffin oil and water-insoluble catalysts (e.g. Addocat DB) in polyester-polyols with OH-value of approx. 60 mg KOH/g. 
Addovate WM is used for the production of polyester slabstock foam with TDI 65. 

Addovate WM is used in combination with Addovate SM and if necessary Addovate LM (prevents core discolouration). 
In general 1.0 - 2.0 p.b.w. of Addovate WM should be added to 100 p.b.w. polyester polyol. 

Over-dosage (> 4.0 p.b.w.) of Addovate WM will result in a deterioration of the compression hardness. 
Under-dosage of Addovate WM leads to a badly homogenized catalyst mixture which results in severe damages to the cell structure. 
Should a silicone stabilizer be processed which emulsifies Addocat DB not sufficiently, it is recommended to add a sufficient amount of Addovate WM (approx. 0.5 - 1.0 p.b.w.).

Please note: 
If Addovate WM is used in combination with any other emulsifier or additive, it is advisable to test in respect of compatibility in the lab prior to processing, otherwise incompatibility may result in damages to the cell structure.

Packing:
Metal cans, contents 60 kg

Storage stability of Addovate WM:
Shelf life: 12 months in originally closed, moisture-tight containers.
Storage temperature: + 10 °C to + 30 °C (optimum).

Storage Addovate WM at lower temperatures leads to viscosity increase or solidification of the product at the pour point. 
This does not have negative effects on its activity nor is it damaged.

In this case we recommend to store the product at room temperature for 2 weeks or to liquify it for short at max. 50 °C in a heating oven. 
The contents have to be thoroughly homogenized before use.

Handling of Addovate WM:
Consult material safety data sheet (MSDS) for additional handling information for Addovate WM.
