More About Niax™ Silicone L-5617
A silicone surfactant with the hydrolyzable stability found in Momentive's Niax silicone L-5614, Niax silicone L-5617 may be an ideal choice for applications that call for low VOC emissions.
Niax silicone L-5617's ability to stabilize mechanically frothed foams makes shear-induced cell collapse less likely. At the same time, it can provide cell opening and reduce froth density for high-quality product applications. These features make Niax silicone L-5617 an excellent additive where lower VOC emissions are important.
Potential applications for Niax silicone L-5617 include:
- Carpet and artificial turf backing
- Specialized fabrics like leather substitutes for upholstery
