Low-density foams without blowing agents
MegaFoam has a special
vacuum chamber (curing unit), which means that no
physical blowing agent such as ozone-depleting CFC
or methylene chloride (MC), a frequently used substitute,
is needed to make foams in the low-density range
down to 10 kg/m³.

Raw-material savings
A typical formulation for making a
low-density standard foam of
10 kg/m³ would be based on up to 35 parts by weight
of MC, related to the polyol content. MegaFoam uses no MC at all, which means
that for example given an annual output of about 100 tons of such foam, the
manufacturer could save about 35 tons of MC.

Broad diversity of foam grades
With 10 to 80 kg/m³, the density range that is achievable
without adding any extra blowing agent is extremely broad. It is also
possible to increase or lower the foams' hardness even though the
density remains the same.

Speciality foams
MegaFoam is also suitable for cost
effectively producing even small quantities of
speciality and niche products that could otherwise
not be made on
continuously operating production systems in an economically
efficient way. Formulations can be changed fast due to the operator-controlled
PLC that can store up to 50 different formulations.
