Transcend^® additive technology offers a unique approach to improve next-generation foam technologies. As an additive for foam formulations it goes beyond a single performance enhancement. Originally identified to reduce smoke generation and flame spread, Transcend^® technology also delivers improved solubility of blowing agents and polyols and reduces viscosity, thus improving the flow characteristics of many foam formulations.

The Transcend^® technology, based on trans-1, 2-dichloroethylene (Trans-1,2-DCE), can be added to HFC foam formulations to create unique foam products. With this new technology in the blend, the resulting foams have demonstrated improved fire performance characteristics – reduced smoke generation and lowered flame spread. Transcend^® technology can help the formulator achieve better fire performance.
