A Revolutionary Step in Eco-Friendly Insulation: Seho Tech Unveils NeXgener(R) Foam Blowing Agent

In a transformative move for the global insulation industry, Seho Tech has introduced NeXgener(R), a next-generation polyurethane foam blowing agent that meets modern environmental standards without compromising performance.

Seho Tech unveils NeXgener(R), a next-gen polyurethane foam blowing agent designed to meet today’s environmental standards

With mounting global pressure to eliminate substances that damage the ozone layer and contribute to global warming, industries have faced the difficult task of finding viable alternatives to traditional blowing agents. Previously favored compounds such as HCFCs and HFCs, although effective, have been heavily regulated and phased out due to their environmental impact. NeXgener(R) rises to this challenge by offering a solution that boasts zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) and zero Global Warming Potential (GWP).

NeXgener(R) is a 100% chemical-based blowing agent specifically developed for polyurethane applications. It generates strong internal heat through a crosslinking reaction, enabling better control over foam expansion by adjusting water content. Its high hydroxyl value (OH-value of 400 50) allows for increased MDI usage, improving foam performance.

What sets NeXgener(R) apart is not only its environmental credentials but also its technical superiority. In rigid polyurethane (PIR) injection applications, it minimizes common issues such as shrinkage, decreased flowability, or extended demolding times. Additionally, when used with 100% ester polyol, it supports the production of low-density foam without surface defects, maintaining excellent flow and structural integrity.

Unlike many industrial chemicals, NeXgener(R) is non-toxic and non-flammable, offering a safer alternative for manufacturers and workers alike. The product produces fine-cell foam that provides outstanding thermal insulation, rivaling HCFC-141b. It also integrates seamlessly with existing physical blowing agents for enhanced performance.

NeXgener(R) comes as a light yellowish liquid, has a high boiling point of 354, a flash point of 198, and a low viscosity (<100 cps at 25), making it stable and easy to handle. The product is available in 260 kg drums with a shelf life of 12 months when stored properly.

A Green Leap for Industry Standards

As sustainability becomes a core priority in manufacturing, innovations like NeXgener(R) mark a significant advancement in eco-conscious production. Seho Tech, through its research institute, continues to refine this technology, ensuring that industries can transition smoothly from harmful blowing agents to environmentally sound alternatives.

Study Finds 58 Percent of Indians Prefer “Nutrition” More than “Taste” in Snacks, Exceeding the Global Average

A global study commissioned by Wonderful Pistachios, the world’s largest grower and processor of California Pistachios, has revealed a significant shift in India’s snacking culture that emphasizes that Indian consumers are seeking nutritious snacks as part of a healthy diet. The study, conducted across 10 countries with more than 12,400 respondents, found that 58% of urban Indian consumers now prioritise nutrition more than taste when it comes to purchasing snacks-above the global average of 52%. This growing inclination is especially prominent in cities like Delhi and Ahmedabad, where more than 60% of consumers base their food decisions on nutritional value.

https://www.newsvoir.com/images/article/image1/32096_Wonderful_Pistachios.png

California Pistachios

The research, conducted on 2,415 Indian consumers across six cities, highlights an evolving landscape where nutrition labels are being read more than ever before, with 83% of consumers reviewing them before purchase. Furthermore, 86% of respondents actively seek protein-rich foods, while 69% believe that plant-based protein is as good as meat-based alternatives, significantly outpacing the global average of 55%. Four core factors drive urban India’s nutritional snack choices: being natural, heart-healthy, a source of protein, and providing energy-all of which come before indulgence or cravings.

The popularity of nuts as a preferred snack has skyrocketed in India, with 86% of shoppers reporting nut purchases within a six-month period in 2023-compared to 79% globally. This trend is particularly notable among Millennials and Gen X, who are leading the charge towards mindful eating. In line with these preferences, California Pistachios offer a compelling nutritional profile, providing 6 grams of plant protein and 3 grams of fibre per 28g serving, along with all nine essential amino acids, making them a complete plant protein.

Commenting on the findings, Shail Pancholi, spokesperson for California Pistachios in India, said, “It’s inspiring to see how Indian consumers are making smarter choices and placing a high value on nutrition, particularly protein-rich and natural foods. This shift underscores the role foods like California pistachios can play in supporting healthier lifestyles through simple, wholesome snacking options.”

Once reserved for special occasions, the Wonderful Pistachios study highlights that nuts are now becoming part of an everyday diet, driven by a rising demand for healthier choices. This shift spans across age groups-from Gen Z to Baby Boomers-highlighting a collective move toward more conscious and mindful eating. With a growing focus on natural, heart-healthy, protein-rich, and energy-supporting options, nutrition is clearly shaping the future of snacking in the country.

USV’s ‘United for BP Control’ Mission Takes Aim at India’s Blood Pressure Epidemic

Hypertension, the silent killer, now affects over 315 million Indians and continues to pose a major public health challenge due to low awareness, poor treatment adherence, and limited patient education. To tackle this growing crisis, USV has launched the ‘United for BP Control’ initiative in collaboration with the World Hypertension League (WHL) and the Indian Society of Hypertension.

United for BP Control

The initiative was inaugurated at the 6th World Hypertension Congress in Chennai by Dr. S.N. Narasingan a leading hypertension expert from Chennai, Prof. Paul K. Whelton (President, WHL), Prof. Dr. Gianfranco Parati (President-Elect, WHL), and other leading hypertension experts.

‘United for BP Control’ focuses on three key pillars:

  • Awareness – Disseminating accurate hypertension information via expert-led content across print, TV, digital, and social media platforms

  • Screening – Conducting 25,000+ BP and ECG camps with CV risk assessment, aiming to reach over 2.5 lakh patients.

  • Management – Introducing first-of-its-kind patient education strips based on insights from 1,500+ doctors and 200+ patients. These strips reinforce three essential lifestyle habits: healthy eating, daily physical activity, and timely medication adherence

Talking about the launch, Dr. S N Narasingan, Past President, WHL & a leading hypertension expert from Chennai, said, “This is a thoughtful initiative by USV. The unique strip they conceptualised and designed, offers hypertension patients a reminder to stay on track with their medication, embrace healthier habits, and can make a difference in managing blood pressure.

Dr. Anuj Maheshwari, Secretary General, Indian Society of Hypertension, appreciated the efforts by USV and stated, “The United for BP Control initiative is a commendable step towards reducing the burden of hypertension in India. With the introduction of uniquely designed strips, patients will now have a daily reminder to take their medication and adopt a healthier lifestyle.”

USV, an Indian multinational healthcare company, has launched this initiative to drive impactful, scalable change in how India understands, detects, and manages high blood pressure.

Mr. Prashant Tewari, Managing Director, USV, said, “With ‘United for BP Control,’ USV is taking a decisive step to tackle India’s escalating hypertension burden and enable sustained blood pressure management across the nation. This initiative reflects our deep commitment to improving patient care and empowering individuals to lead healthier, longer lives.”
