Phyllosilicate impregnated melamine resin matrix: BASFRecent Research Landscape

Virgin melamine foam production suffers from high material costs and structural brittleness. Incorporating ground foam particles as functional fillers stabilizes the resin matrix while maintaining flame retardancy.

What technical problems is BASF addressing in Phyllosilicate impregnated melamine resin matrix?

Inadequate foam tear resistance

(35)evidences

Rigid polyurethane foams often suffer from shrinkage or deformation during thermal recovery or under mechanical load. Improving structural integrity and shape retention under varying temperatures provides a technical advantage in insulation and structural applications.

High polymer flammability

(7)evidences

Standard melamine resin foams exhibit insufficient flame retardancy for high-safety applications. Enhancing fire resistance without halogenated additives prevents toxic smoke emission and meets regulatory safety standards.
