Key Cost Points
 ecomate® has resulted in reduced foam density
as low as 22,4 kg/m3 Free Rise Density.
 Commercial experience shows ecomate
requires less molar equivalents than HC’s.
 ecomate requires less flame retardant to
achieve rated foam than HC’s.
 ecomate is a small part of overall demand for
the molecule and there are multiple plants in
the world.
