ELASTOCOOL
MH 1040
Technical Data Sheet
Version: 01
Edition: 04/2008
System Description
3 component system for the production of closed cell rigid foams using cylo/iso-pentane (70/30) as
blowing agent.
Application
Elastocool
MH 1040 has been developed particularly for the insulation of refrigerators, deep
freezers and cold room shelves.
Very good flow properties and short demoulding times allow economical production.
Supply Form
The material is supplied as separate components:
1. Elastocool
MH 1040 C-A
Preblended polyol component WITHOUT
blowing agent
2. Cylo/iso-pentane (70/30)
Blowing agent
Has to be added to the polyol
component prior to processing
3. Lupranate M20S / H3610/0 C-B Isocyanate (B component)
Processing
Elastocool
MH 1040 can be processed both on high and low pressure machines. For the dosage
of the blowing agent, appropriate equipment are to be used. The mould temperature should be
between 35C and 45C.
For processing, the Safety Data Sheets and the Technical Information Safety and Precautionary
Measures for the Handling of Polyurethane Systems should be consulted and observed.

Receiving Control
The control includes measurement of the cream, string and rise time as well as the free rise
density. Testing of the reaction characteristics is carried out at a material temperature of 20C
using a non-waxed paper cup of 750 cc capacity with a total weighed in quantity of 70g.
