New Bakelite® FoamSet Materials Provide Upgraded Fire Resistance Through Lighter Weight and Proven Bakelite Molding Compounds

COLUMBUS, Ohio--(Press Release Power)--Hexion Inc. (œHexion or the œCompany) is presenting its Bakelite® FoamSet Materials, which are the Company's latest heat-insulating structure materials, at the upcoming K Show.

The new material, which was economically supported by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs of Germany, was funded within the structure of the 6th Energy Research Program of the German Federal Government and supervised by Forschungszentrum J¼lich, the project executing organization. In addition to Hexion GmbH, the project consortium consists of the following companies: KraussMaffei Technologies GmbH, KraussMaffei Berstorff GmbH, EJOT Baubefestigungen GmbH, Sch¶ck Bauteile GmbH, Robert Bosch GmbH, and the Professorship of Plastics Engineering of the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Institute of Materials Handling, Conveying and Plastics Engineering located in the Technical University of Chemnitz.

The consortium focused on developing phenolic moulding compounds for energy-optimized construction. Phenolic moulding compounds, which provide both high insulating and material strength properties, can be processed using cost-efficient manufacturing processes including extrusion and injection moulding to produce self-supporting insulating components in custom and potentially demanding geometry shapes.

The new Hexion Bakelite® FoamSet Materials provide heat stability with low thermal expansion, strength for screw connections, fire resistance, and reduced smoke and toxicity for a œBest-in-class fire, smoke and toxicity performance. Bakelite® FoamSet Materials also provide the following material advantages:

High flame retardance;
Good warm air insulation properties;
High-temperature opposition;
Low specific gravity;
High specific strength and stiffness;
High chemical resistance; and
The self-foaming formulation that does not require an additional technology.
Bakelite® FoamSet Materials, which are supplied as free-flowing granules, have proven to be processable by injection and compression moulding as well as continuous extrusion. With these processes ranges in thickness from 1.5 millimetres to 30 millimetres and at a density of 0.85 g/cm3 are achievable. A storage-stability of more than one year is guaranteed.
