    This document provides product information about MECTHENE PU, a methylene chloride blowing agent used in producing flexible polyurethane foams. MECTHENE PU offers advantages like controlling acid formation to prevent foam discoloration. It is compatible with most polyol types and requires only minor formulation changes. MECTHENE PU can be used at levels up to 30% to produce low-density, soft foams and offers easier processing than liquid CO2. The document also provides typical foam formulations, properties, and contact information.

    Product Information

    MECTHENE TM PU Methylene Chloride


    Polyurethane Foam Blowing Agent

    Introduction MECTHENE PU is a high performing, high purity, cost effective, non-flammable, non-ozone
    depleting chlorinated organic compound that has been designed for use as an auxiliary
    blowing agent in the production of flexible polyurethane foams.

    Advantages of
    Mecthene PU • MECTHENE PU contains a specially developed stabilizer package which protects
    TM

    against acid formation. Controlling acid formation in PU foaming systems is


    necessary to avoid foam discoloration (scorch) especially with flame retarded
    systems and reduction in amine catalytic activity
    • MECTHENE PU contains a lubricant which allows usage on state of the art
    Polyurethane metering and mixing equipment, protecting high pressure pumps from
    damage and thus extending their lifetime.
    • MECTHENE PU can be used with most types of Polyols (e.g. Conventional Polyols,
    High Resilience Poyols, Copolymer Polyols and Autocatalytic Polyols).
    • Only minor formulation changes, to increase stability of the rising foam are required
    to facilitate the use of MECTHENE PU.
    • Compared to using liquid CO2 as an auxiliary blowing agent MECTHENE PU is
    easier to handle and gives a wider processing latitude (hardness: density ratios).
    • MECTHENE PU can also be used as a solvent for cleaning the foam mix-head.

    Information
    relating to the • The MECTHENE PU molecule (Methylene Chloride – CH2Cl2 ) is a well known and
    environment, well studied molecules who’s chemical, environmental and health and safety
    health and safety properties are well understood.
    • MECTHENE PU does not destroy the ozone layer. It’s impact on global warming and
    acid rain is considered negligible and is Biologically degradable in the environment.
    • It is important to train personnel in the safe handling, storage and disposal of
    MECTHENE PU and to instruct them in standard safety procedures. For further
    health and safety details, please refer to the safety data sheet for MECTHEN PU.
    Your local Dow office or distributor will be pleased to provide you with any further
    information.
    How to use
    MECTHENE PU • Formulations containing up to 30 php MECHTENE PU have been run commercially to
    produce foams with very low densities and harnesses.
    • Due to the cell opening effect of MECTHENE PU slightly higher levels of Stannous
    Octoate catalyst and Silicone are required to stabilize the rising foam.
    • The amount of Mecthene PU used will depend upon the required foam hardness and
    density and other foam formulation parameters employed e.g. water level.
