STRUKSILON 8104

Application Fields

STRUKSILON 8104 was developed as universal silicone surfactant of medium potency for the production of conventional flexible polyurethane slabstock foam based on polyether polyols.

STRUKSILON 8104 is applicable in systems for nearly all known flexible PU slabstock foam applications and technologies like production of seats, chairs, mattresses etc. in the furniture and automotive industry and for all kinds of damping devices.

Chemical and Physical Properties

According to its chemical structure STRUKSILON 8104 is a polyether modified polydimethyl siloxane resistant to hydrolysis. STRUKSILON 8104 is chemically inert due to the exclusive usage of encapped polyethers and possesses a high stability.

General chemical structure:

Typical Properties:

Viscosity at 25°C	[mPas]	550-1100
Turbidity point	[°C]	29
Density at 25°C	[kg/m³]	1.01-1.03
Flash point (DIN/ISO 2562)	[°C]	> 100
Refractive index at 25°C		1,444-1.449

Technical Properties

STRUKSILON 8104 is a silicone surfactant of medium potency. It induces a balanced relation between a high quantity of open cells and good air flow as well as a uniform cell and density distribution combined with good physical and mechanical properties in flexible block foams.

STRUKSILON 8104 shows an excellent emulsifying efficiency and compatibility when using polyetherpolyols. Furthermore, STRUKSILON 8104 possesses wide processing latitude according to the used amount and different raw materials.

STRUKSILON 8104 is recommended for the production of flexible PU slabstock foams with a density range of approximately 16-30 kg/m³.

STRUKSILON 8104 contains only negligible amounts of volatile compounds and is suitable for applications with anti-fogging requirements.

STRUKSILON 8104 can be used in combination with all usual co-blowing agents like methylenechloride or acetone. Application in new low pressure technologies can be recommended.

Recommended Dosage

Usually,STRUKSILON 8104 is applied in quantities of 0.6 to 1.5 php (parts on 100 parts polyol). We recommend adjusting the optimum dosage according to the corresponding formula, type and amount of activators, catalysts, blowing agents and the activity of raw materials.

However,a concentration of 2,5 php should not be exceeded.

Product Safety and Handling

STRUKSILON 8104 is not a hazardous material for the purposes of hazardous materials regulations.

STRUKSILON 8104 does not contain aminic components.
