Key performance benefits

The field of application for ORTEGOL® 204 is not
▪ Prevents / reduces cold flow restricted by the character of the polyol type. It is
▪ Improves curing equally efficient in all formulations, whether they
▪ More equal density distribution are based on polymer polyols or PHD-polyols.
▪ Suitable for formulations based on all polymer
polyol types ORTEGOL® 204 improves the entire processability
of a formulation at comparatively low applied
concentrations (e. g. 0.5 – 1.0 parts per 100 parts
Typical properties* polyol); this results in a better blow-off, a faster
curing rate and a more equal density distribution.
Appearance Colorless, clear liquid

Viscosity at 20 °C 110 mPa·s Improved curing has a direct positive influence on

the dimensional stability and prevents trapezoid
Density at 20 °C 1.25 g/cm3 deformation of the cross section in fresh slabstock
foams.
Calculated OH number per 860 mg KOH/g (w/o water)
part additive 2415 mg KOH/g (with water)
Common use levels of ORTEGOL® 204 are in the
range of 0.5 and 2.0 parts per 100 parts of polyol.
Water content 24 -25 wt %
The optimal concentration will depend on specifics
of the formulation.
