Additional application areas

*There is a small possibility that a haze may appear in Capa® Polyols that are typically liquids at room temperature if they have been subjected to lower temperatures. This haze is caused by a crystalline phase that will melt around 35°C. The haze can be eliminated by heating to about 40°C and agitating the drummed product before use. Neither the haze formation nor the subsequent heating of the material to this recommended temperature should affect the quality of the Capa® polyol or its processing. We recommend that all Capa® Polyols be heated and agitated before use for optimal performance. Please contact us for further details.
