The NEXAMITE® product range for polyester foams, includes efficient chain extender formulations that provide a stable foaming process and uniform foam structure. Additional solutions feature, for example toughness and flexibility enhancers. NEXAMITE additives can be used to improve properties and processing of both virgin polyester and recycled polyester foams.
The NEXAMITE® product portfolio for Polyester foams offer several benefits to the converter:
| Product: | Description: | Features/Benefits: |
