Product highlights and applications

Highlights target rigid and flexible foams, automotive interiors, mattress‑in‑a‑box and specialty PU applications. For rigid insulation and spray systems Evonik showcases TEGOSTAB® silicone surfactants alongside DABCO® and POLYCAT® catalysts to improve surface quality, reduce voids and lower thermal conductivity. Flexible‑foam introductions include TEGOSTAB® B 8273 with ORTEGOL® 700 for improved post‑compression recovery and TEGOSTAB® B 8211 and B 8292 for viscoelastic and molded MDI foams.

For automotive molded foams Evonik will show the Asia debut of DABCO® NE 1067 Negligible Emission catalyst and DABCO® SI 1218 LO Low‑Odor surfactant, plus Low Carbon Footprint surfactants TEGOSTAB® B 8751 LCF and B 8763 LCF. CASE and specialty composites applications are addressed with heat‑activated POLYCAT® SA catalysts, VERSALINK® diamine curatives and ORTEGOL® IR release additives.

Local supply and support

Evonik cites growing local capabilities to serve China and the region, noting an expansion of specialty amines production in Nanjing earlier this year to broaden its portfolio, enhance supply security and provide local technical support.
