BAYTHERM 9799 PIR

Rigid Polyisocyanurate Foam System

Description System Component Storage

Baytherm 9799 PIR is a low-density rigid poly-
isocyanurate foam system consisting of three
components: Baytherm 9799, a formulated polyol
resin, Mondur 489, a polymeric diphenylmethane
diisocyanate (PMDI), and HCFC 141b blowing
agent which is added by the customer. Formulated
using Bayer’s HCFC 141b-blown foam technology,
this system can be used in pour-in-place applica-
tions where excellent thermal and mechanical
properties are required, and where a foam which
has been shown to achieve an ASTM E-84 Class 1
burn rating is desired. As with any product, the use
of foams made with the Baytherm 9799 PIR
system in a given application must be tested (includ-
ing, but not limited to, field testing) in advance by
the user to determine suitability.
Typical Properties of Components*
Mondur 489 – Mondur 489 Isocyanate must be
stored in tightly closed containers and protected from
contamination with moisture and foreign materials.
It will react slowly with water to form polyureas and
liberate CO2 gas, which can cause sealed containers
to expand and rupture. Storage temperatures should
be maintained between 18°C and 30°C (64°F and
86°F).
Baytherm 9799 – Baytherm 9799 Resin is hygro-
scopic and may absorb water. Containers should be
kept tightly closed and protected from heat, moisture
and foreign materials, which can adversely affect
processing. Open containers slowly to relieve
possible excess pressure. Avoid contact with skin
and eyes as well as breathing vapors if generated.
Storage temperature should be maintained below
50°C (122°F).
