AVA-SIL is a non-hydrolytic silicone designed to provide
excellent foam stability, fine and uniform cell structure,
and enhanced processing efficiency in low-density foams.
It is particularly effective in systems using liquid CO₂ as the blowing agent.
Key Performance Benefits:
Superior nucleating efficiency in stretched formulations (high TOI, high water, high CO₂).
Dramatically reduces striations in the foam bun
Full hydrolytic stability for consistent performance.
Flexible application: can be used as a separate stream or in water/amine/silicone pre blends.
